Mathakondapalli Model School follows the CBSE curriculum, from Pre-KG to Class 12, with NCERT textbooks.
What we teach is mandated by the government. How we teach is the uniqueness, and that is where MMS teachers do so much.
Mathakondapalli Model School is a CBSE school. Your child studies the same syllabus and NCERT textbooks as children in other CBSE schools across India, from Pre-KG to Class 12.
Everything else you read on this page, such as labs, skill subjects and projects, is extra. It is added to help children understand the CBSE lessons better by doing and trying, and it does not replace the CBSE syllabus.
Followed in every class, from Pre-KG to Class 12.
The books prescribed by CBSE are our main textbooks.
Class 10 and Class 12 students write the CBSE board examinations.
Labs, skill subjects and hands-on projects are added on top of the syllabus, never instead of it.

The syllabus is CBSE. What is special at MMS is the way we teach it: with more hands-on work, projects and real examples. The details below are for parents who would like to know more.
None of these four run in isolation. Together, they are interdisciplinary, subject‑integrated, project‑based, experiential and child‑centric: one curriculum, taught as one experience.
Tap a pillar above to see what it means in the classroom.
Operationally aligned under the National Education Policy 2020 (Government of India, Ministry of Education).Interdisciplinary learning brings knowledge and skills from different subjects together around one meaningful theme or question. Children understand that real-world problems do not belong to a single subject.
Students explore water through Science (water cycle and conservation), Mathematics (water usage and data), Social Science (community water resources), English (research and communication), and Art (awareness campaigns).
Children connect ideas across subjects, think critically, communicate effectively, and understand real-world issues from multiple perspectives.
Subject-integrated learning connects different concepts, skills and areas within a subject to build deeper understanding, rather than teaching each concept in isolation.
While studying plants, students observe growth, identify parts of a plant, measure changes over time, record observations, and explain the conditions needed for healthy growth.
Children develop deeper conceptual understanding by observing, applying, recording and explaining what they learn.
Project-based learning gives children an opportunity to investigate a meaningful question or problem and create something based on their learning.
Students identify the everyday problem of clothes getting wet in unexpected rain, explore rain sensors and circuits, program a microcontroller, and develop a working prototype.
Children develop problem-solving, creativity, collaboration, design thinking and application of knowledge.
Experiential learning begins with doing, observing and experiencing, followed by reflection and understanding. Children learn concepts by connecting them to situations they can see, touch, test and experience.
Instead of learning circuits only from diagrams, students build simple circuits, test different components, observe what happens when connections change, and explain their findings.
Children develop conceptual understanding, curiosity, observation skills and the confidence to learn through exploration.
Child-centric learning recognises that every child is a learner with different interests, abilities, experiences and learning needs. Teachers guide and scaffold learning while giving children meaningful opportunities to question, choose, explore and express.
After exploring a story, children may choose to retell it, draw it, dramatise it, create a comic, or record their own narration.
Children develop confidence, voice, creativity, independence and ownership of their learning.
Every subject and lab at the Centre of Excellence sits under one of these four pillars. Each links to its official framework below; MMS specific data for each is being added section by section.
The core academic curriculum, Pre-Primary to Class XII, following NCERT textbooks and the CBSE syllabus.
The school's own enrichment layer: twelve labs and ATL Tinkering activities that extend NCERT content hands on.
NCERT's mandatory skill education programme for Classes VI to VIII, under NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023.
Examinable CBSE Skill Subjects from Class IX onward: 22 options at Classes 9 to 10, 38 at Classes 11 to 12.
No lab stands alone. Each one draws from a specific curriculum source, and layers in interdisciplinary connections from the others, Kaushal Bodh included.
Runs on NCERT curriculum content, Pre-Primary to Class 12, delivered through immersive VR and AR simulations.

View lab →This is the base of every classroom at MMS: the CBSE syllabus and NCERT textbooks, from Pre-KG to Class 12. Everything else we add, such as labs and skill modules, sits on top of it and helps children understand the same lessons by doing.

MMS's own enrichment curriculum: twelve labs and Atal Tinkering Lab activities that turn NCERT and skill concepts into hands on, project based work, from VR and robotics to space science and culinary practice. See the lab to framework mapping below for how each one connects.
This pillar has no external prescribing body; it is MMS's own design, built to integrate Pillars 1, 3 and 4 into a single experience.

Kaushal Bodh is NCERT's mandatory skill education programme for Classes VI to VIII, introduced under NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023. It runs across three domains: Life Forms, Machines & Materials, and Human Services, drawing on a bank of skill modules that range from AI and coding to first aid, gardening and craft.
At MMS, Kaushal Bodh modules are woven into the relevant labs above rather than taught in isolation, so the skill and the subject are learned together.

Kaushal Vikas is the NCERT skill education textbook for Class IX (first edition, April 2026), the Secondary Stage continuation of Kaushal Bodh. Listed by CBSE as Vocational Education (Kaushal Vikas), subject code 444, it is built on NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023 and, like Kaushal Bodh, is organised around three forms of work: Life Forms, Machines & Materials, and Human Services.
Learning is hands-on and project-based, and assessment looks at demonstrated performance, not written tests alone. Assessment and board-examination arrangements for the subject follow CBSE's notifications for each session.
