Being at the helm of academic excellence for the past decade, MRIS-14 is a connoisseur of upholding the tenets of traditional values intertwined with novel, futuristic means of learning.
The effulgent Manav Rachna Model United Nations is an annual three-day Conference which is an amalgamation of agendas on issues concerning the world at large. Inducted into an intellectually charged ambience, eager participants from different schools across the world express their vociferous views on various pertinent global predicaments, as witnessed over the past many successful editions of MR-MUN. MR-MUN aims to immerse the students in an experience saturated with debate, deliberation and reason by guiding them to act as vehement catalysts of change.
The Conference is attended by all student delegates, diplomats and participants who have fervently participated in the simulation of several committees and await the results expectantly.

SOFT SKILLS
To embolden our 21st century learners in adapting a multitude of teaching and learning patterns and to foster their curiosity, we must transcend the barriers of academic pursuit. Recognizing the importance of the less quantifiable skills, we, at MRIS-14, have adopted a pragmatic approach to teaching and learning. Our Soft Skills Development Program has been so designed that it aligns with the objective of aiding the learners in assimilation through a combination of technology, curriculum, and activities.
It encompasses a wide range of themes like communication, interpersonal skills, attitude building, social skills, time management, responsibility, self-confidence, self-awareness, self-control, self-management, problem-solving, critical thinking, negotiation, cooperation, collaboration, and teamwork. We introduce students to SWOT Analysis so that they know their Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats, and thus, become more self-aware and ready to face the world. In order to assess the progress and development of problem-solving skills and critical thinking in the students, they are given numerous case studies enlisted with problems related to peer-pressure, behaviour, stressful student life, and personality and prestige issues.
Our Program thus strives to fulfil the aim to create and nurture 21st-century learners through a favorable outcome of an amalgamation of various strategies that promote and cater to the learners’ interests, needs, and requirements.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TOWARDS LEARNING
At MRIS-14, the learners not only explore their academic skills but also develop a greater depth of skills and apply their knowledge to meet the demands of our changing socio-economic landscape. Students are exposed to diverse learning landscapes and introduced to a myriad of activities and knowledge pursuits.
Students are made to delve into each subject taken individually and as a collective whole. The multi – disciplinary approach or the interdisciplinary approach focuses on curriculum integration which magnifies learning and brings together different disciplines. We follow this approach by integrating two or more subjects and enabling the students to bring together diverse perspectives to illustrate a topic, theme or issue. Through a multidisciplinary approach, a student gains an arsenal of skills—problem-solving, critical thinking, time-management, self-management, communication and writing, analysis and research methodologies, team work, and much more—that are easily transferable across work environments. An inevitable outcome of looking at life and learning through a multidisciplinary lens is the ability to approach problems with a broader perspective.
STUDENT CENTRIC APPROACH
There’s something magical about the moment a kite takes flight and soars into the sky. In many ways, the kite represents the actualization of dreams of the young learners.
MRIS – 14 staunchly believes that freedom for students to learn, explore, and challenge ideas while building and sharing their opinions is the foundation of academic freedom. The freedom to learn which protects them from unfair treatment based on the student’s opinions and beliefs. It is the right of the students to research, study and pursue whatever knowledge and skills they wish to without any reasonable interference, restriction from the law, institutional regulations, or public pressure.
Student-centered learning gives students the opportunity to decide two things: what material they learn and how they learn it. In student-centered classrooms, students are directly involved and invested in the discovery of their own knowledge. Through collaboration and cooperation with others, students engage in experiential learning that is authentic, holistic, and challenging.
As per NEP 2020, the school offers students with a plethora of subjects to choose from disciplines other than those they are majoring in. The curriculum must include basic arts, crafts, humanities, games, sports and fitness, languages, literature, culture, and values, in addition to science and mathematics, to develop all aspects and capabilities of learners; and make education more well-rounded, useful, and fulfilling to the learner.
