“MIRS school stands out as unique from the rest bygiving one-step higher than just providing the  usual curricular and co-curricular activities and by inculcating the foregone practice of Yoga and Transcendental Meditation. This helps us not only maintain physical but also mental fitness. Being away from the core city, the school has provided a calm, peaceful and most importantly pollution free environment. I personally prioritize health above all and found that this is the perfect school.”

“I have been in MIRS for four years and it has become my second home. The hostel environment and integrated functioning of the school provide students with a yearlong cultural and morale-boosting experience which is offered only in very few places. There is a wide range of co-curricular activities to suit student interests. To take a break from the stress of daily routine, all the teachers and students are practising meditation on daily basis. I would like to thank the School for taking me into its family.”
