Traditional education tends to value a limited range
of knowledge and skills but more recent research suggests that intelligence is
not unitary but multiple. Meenakshi World School aims to give students a
broader, deeper, richer educational experience by recognizing each student’s
strongest talents.
Meenakshi World School started its journey on 11th April 2008
and is registered centre of the University of Cambridge International
Examinations (CIE), the world’s largest provider of international
qualifications. The school’s approach to learning encourages the all round
development of its students not just because International curricula demands it
but because today’s survival depends upon it.
The Multiple intelligence research of Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard
University provides a new insight into student – centered learning. Different
individuals have different aptitudes. By using the strongest ‘aptitudes’ or
‘intelligences’ a starting point we can educate more effectively by teaching
different students the same topic in different ways according to their
particular intelligences. In a class situation, this approach allows students
to benefit from each others’ strengths and to develop their Competence in their
Weaker as in their Stronger intelligences.
The curriculum of Meenakshi World School includes
the Initial Learning of Blooming Buds at stages of Mulberry (Pre –Nursery),
Waterlilly (Nursery) and Sundrop (KG), Cambridge Primary Checkpoint in Grades I
to VI, Cambridge Secondary1 in Grades
VII and VIII, Cambridge Secondary2
(IGCSE) in Grades IX and X, Cambridge
Advanced (AS and A levels) in Grades XI and XII. The School also proposes to
offer the ICSE and ISC Curriculum from Grade IX onwards and the IB Programme in
Grades XI and XII. The Student Teacher
ratio 20:1 gives a boost to individual attention. To provide an international
benchmark in English, the school has tied up with Trinity College, London to
Conduct Graded Examination in Spoken English (GESE) and integrated skills in
English (ISE) exams for the students.
Aiming

every other way. It has outstanding set ups to groom children in different
