Student Clubs for Holistic Development

Manthan aims for holistic development and believes that extra-curricular activities play an important role in children’s growth. To support this, such activities are incorporated into the curriculum for pre-primary and primary students. Middle and high school students get the option to select the club of their preference. Throughout the academic year, students hone their skills in their chosen clubs and have opportunities to showcase their talents during annual days, sports days, and other significant events.

11th and 12th graders have the opportunity to suggest club ideas and discuss their feasibility with teachers. Depending on interest and infrastructure arrangements, students form and run these clubs, which are open to members from 6th to 12th grade. These student-run clubs provide opportunities for members to pursue and develop the skills of their choice.
