MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to create an enabling student-centered class environment where all students feel
comfortable and safe enough to have freedom of expression, supported and bold enough for critical
inquiry and confidently strong enough to strive for excellence in all endeavors, so that they can become
useful citizens in a 21 st century society. Through care, we inculcate in them the value of self-esteem as
well as respect for others so that they can be dignified people who appreciate and tolerate individual
differences.
FACILITIES
Our facilities which are ICT based, are fashioned in the realization that the open society, the unrestricted
access to knowledge, the unplanned and uninhibited association of men for technology furtherance; are
what may make a vast, complex, ever growing, ever changing, ever more specialized technological world.
Today’s students have grown up in a digital age and technology is part of their daily lives. Therefore in
MPlace, we believe that we should keep up with the fast-paced change of today’s technology. In this
regard, our students are exposed to technology from an early age, so we run the blended educational
system as we integrate technology in the classrooms and run online schooling for instructional purposes.
We believe that children need a lot of practical experiences in order to be able to comprehend what they
are being taught. In view of this we have provided a variety of practical rooms for our students.
