“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you”

Mount Carmel School is a great place to teach and learn! We believe education is a shared commitment between dedicated teachers, motivated students and enthusiastic parents. COVID-19 has changed our lifestyles and routine. It has created new psychological situation for people.We understand the challenges faced by the students, Parents and the teachers to cater to the academic needs during closure of school and adapting to virtual learning. However, the importance of education remains consistent. We need to be prepared to take life ahead with all our normal activities according to the new normal.Our talented and dedicated staff, both teaching and non-teaching, have been showing their care and concern for the students working from home preparing notes and engaging classes online for the benefit of students. I appreciate their concern for the students and commitment to academics.All these will also lead to imbibing of digital skills, one of the most important literacy skills of the 21st century.

An optimistic and positive outlook enables a child to see good things in life and keep going even in the hardest times. Appreciate and acknowledge their accomplishments. For I believe sprouted in the fire, does not wither away in the Sun!We believe that this is the time to not just deal with the current emergency, but also build foundations of resilience to face such difficult events in the future. Let us consider this challenge as an opportunity. The COVID 19 Pandemic should not lockdown the aspiration of our young generation. My suggestion is that they should take the lead and work with teachers to develop new e- learning content. Students should remain active and receptive and use the extended lockdown to learn new skills.

We call our community the “MCS Family” because we want our school family to be an extension of your family. We want to serve you not just in times of joy, happiness, and triumph, but also in times of challenge, grief, and struggle. Academic learning and growth are our bottom line, yet we also understand that educating students means being attentive to the “whole child” and caring about their social and emotional well-being.
