The outcome of its founder Joginder Mann’s vision to promote a world-class residential school in the national capital, TMS is ranked among India’s Top 10 co-ed day-cum-boarding schools in the EW India School Rankings 2020-21, writes Autar Nehru Sited on a pristine green 20-acre campus in Holambi Khurd, a village 25 km from the heart of the national capital, The Mann School (TMS, estb.1989) has developed an excellent reputation for providing children high-quality day-cum-boarding school education. In the latest EducationWorld India School Rankings 2020-21, TMS is ranked among India’s Top 10 co-ed day-cum-boarding schools and #6 in Delhi NCR. A member institution of the Indian Public Schools Conference (IPSC, estb.1939), an exclusive fraternity of 80 premier boarding schools countrywide, the CBSE-affiliated TMS has an enrolment of 1,058 students including 200 boarders mentored by 65 teachers, on its muster rolls. The growth and development of TMS into a top-ranked school is the outcome of founder Joginder Mann’s vision to promote an internationally benchmarked residential school in West Delhi. An alumnus of the wholly-residential Birla Public School (BPS), Pilani and Delhi University, Mann “absolutely loved” his own boarding school experience and aspired to provide his students an even better experience of a “world-class boarding school”. “I was a boarder at BPS-Pilani from age five until graduation and derived great benefit and nurturance from the excellent pastoral care and holistic education I received at BPS-P. Following keen awareness that Delhi lacked a genuine boarding school which provided excellent co-curricular, sports and all-round education, over three decades ago I took the plunge and promoted my dream school offering a blend of boarding and day school education,” recalls Mann, who worked with the Taj Group of hotels for nine years before transforming into a full-time educationist. A passionate advocate of liberal, well-rounded boarding school education, Mann is also author of an inspiring book titled Let’s Pray Before our Meal (2010). Given this history of commitment to a cause, it’s unsurprising that TMS provides its 1,058 including 395 girl children, an excellent blend of academics, sports and co-curricular education. A well-designed academic programme delivered through child-centred IT-enabled pedagogies is supplemented with 18 sports and 38 co-curricular activities. Sports facilities include a 400 metre athletics track, swimming pool, Deco synthetic tennis courts, a roller skating rink, football and cricket fields, billiards room, mini-golf and horse-riding. The school’s equestrian team has won several state and national competitions and its NCC student cadets have participated in Republic Day and Independence Day parades. The co-curricular menu features Indian/Western music and dance, school band and orchestra, debate, quiz, theatre, trekking among other character-building activities. To maintain balance, the school management has also invested substantial resources in providing enabling academic facilities which include 23 Smart classrooms, 12 well-equipped science, maths, computer, and geography labs, an Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) and a unique celestial lab housing one of the largest telescopes of Delhi NCR. Other facilities include a library stocked with 25,841 titles, open-air amphitheatre, 300-seat auditorium, separate residential blocks for boys and
