At MAHESHWARI GIRLS’ SCHOOL we offer the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) and Indian School Certificate (ISC) curriculum to our students. The uniqueness of this curriculum lies in the fact that it is specifically designed keeping the learning objectives laid down by the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE). The most critical element of our curriculum design is the student and what we want her to learn. Thus, the focal point of our curriculum is the learner’s needs and the relevance of the curriculum to meet those needs. Our curriculum framework is flexible and activity based and aids in strengthening the students essential understanding over the years.

By the time the child is five she will have dramatically transformed herself into an intellectually, sensorial and muscularly developed and balanced human being.
