Importance of Sports Curriculum for Holistic Education

"Education must aim to provide students with unerring holistic development and good values that will lead them into becoming ethical, respectful, happy and committed citizens of society.

Mayoor school is one of the finest schools in Noida. It has consistently been ranked among the top 10 schools in the region. We incorporate distinctive learning methods which comprise of both academics and sports to nurture our students. The tranquil setting of the campus creates the perfect atmosphere to sculpt all round personalities of the children. We focus on offering our students uniform opportunities by bestowing sports with as much of attention and importance as is given to academics. With a holistic approach towards educating the students, the school ensures that every child is able to reach the pinnacle of success in his chosen field.

We, at Mayoor School Noida believe that Sports mirror life, and therefore serve as a great laboratory to experiment with, learn and prepare for life in a challenging world. We not only have well equipped science and arts labs but also unparalleled sports facilities. We follow a child-centric approach where the teachers gauge what each child is good at and where his natural inclinations lie. The teachers work towards creating the foundation to help the children build a successful career, which is what makes us one of the top schools in Noida.

Mayoor school emphasizes equally on both sports and education. For this, we have sufficient amenities which include Soccer, Basketball, Taekwondo, Cricket, Swimming, Table tennis, Kabaddi, Kho-Kho, Yoga, Aerobics, Rock climbing, Horse riding, volleyball, Table-tennis, Badminton, Lawn-tennis, meditation and other board games. We also have specially designed play area with a sandpit and play gym which facilitate development of cognitive skills in the little ones.

"I have found that I perform better when challenged to my maximum, and that comes through pushing myself in both Sports and Academics," says Varsha Varman, a member of Indian shooting contingent for Rio Olympics. Giving physical education and sports the requisite weightage in the school curriculum is not an easy task and the stakeholders at Mayoor school accept sports at par with academics for their children.

If a child’s interest in sports is as strong as his interest in academics, striking the right balance between academics and sports can be a thorn in the flesh and would require a team approach to achieve it. With the right help, guidance and communication from all stakeholders involved, children can benefit from playing a sport while enjoying a quality academic experience by prioritizing their interests so that academics does not take a backseat.

At Mayoor School, we believe that Sports and academics don’t have to be competing priorities.  In fact, with the right balance, they can enhance each other. For children who want to build a career in sports, which won’t last more than perhaps a third of their adult lifetime, the school prepares them for second career by laying the foundation through education. The academic at Mayoor School provides the right opportunities to develop a broader knowledge base on which to build an interesting and lasting career. To ensure an ideal balance between academics and sports special care is taken by building a resource kit around the key skills like time management and  active study skills.

 If you are looking for holistic education for your children in a safe, welcoming and conducive environment Mayoor School, Noida is your right destination."
