The Mother's International School, New Delhi
The school was founded on 23 April 1956 by founder Shri Surendra Nath Jauhar "Faquir", with the blessings of The Mother, Mirra Alfassa, a spiritualist, the spiritual partner and collaborator of Sri Aurobindo. The school's motto "More True, Forever More True" was given by the Mirra Alfassa, known as the Mother, and the school's emblem portrays a bird in flight rising towards heaven. When asked about the date of the school's opening, the Mother replied "23456". And as the only possible date was 23 April 1956, it was this day that the school first opened. When the school started out, a batch (or a grade) was of about 15 children, but today a batch has 180 students. The school has three wings, the Pre-Primary, Primary and Secondary. The pre-primary program of The Mother's International School replaced Mira Nursery, a pre-primary school it previously shared campus with. The school has a student population of about 2,400 pupils with an average section size of 30-35 students. Each grade has five sections, A-E, aside from grade 11 and 12, which have sections till F. The school teaches four languages: English, Hindi, Sanskrit and French. It also teaches mathematics, science and social studies till Class 10. There are three main streams for study beyond Class 10: Science, Commerce and Humanities. For classes 1 and 2, a single teacher and assistant teacher teach all the subjects; the 3rd grade onwards, there is a different teacher for each subject, with one of them being the class teacher. The student/teacher ratio is approximately 30.
