“After five years at #2, we are thrilled that this year we are ranked India’s #1 Budget Private School. This top rank finally acknowledges Muni International’s commitment to providing innovative, holistic, inclusive, and affordable education to our students and parents. Our unique Muni Education Model is driven by the philosophy that “each child matters”. Under this model we combine affordability with academic excellence, values, discipline and development of 21st-century skills. This model incorporates regular teacher training, student-led leadership, peer learning, experiential and competency-based education in smart classrooms, and specialised laboratories, through international exchanges and programmes to ensure students’ emotional, social and ethical development. Therefore, we are proud to be awarded highest scores under the parameters of teacher competence, curriculum & pedagogy, value for money and safety & hygiene which are deeply connected. Currently, high attention is being accorded to ensuring children’s mental and emotional well-being. That’s because students learn and thrive best when they feel safe, respected, and valued. The Muni Education model is evolutionary and happily engages with emerging technologies such as AI, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, leadership and life skills. Multiple international collaborations, student exchanges and community-based learning are also in the pipeline” — Ashok Thakur, Founder, Muni International School, Delhi (761 students, 29 teachers)
