Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man ~ Swami Vivekananda

THE FOUNDATION
Mr Rangaswamy was deeply inspired by the discipline and teachings of Swami Vivekananda and Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa. This led him to start B Mona High School in 1983.

Since its inception, the school has constructively contributed to the character of the society by providing quality education at an affordable cost.

It is located in the calm and serene locality of Kormangala V Block. With quality infrastructure, it provides a perfect blend of value-based and academic education.

OUR INSPIRATION
Gajendras story from rags to riches a life inspired by Monas vision and her belief of offering basic education to every child as a necessity. Despite adverse conditions, her influence keeps him on track and he credits her of giving him a quality life even today, as he seeks her blessings every time he visits the city.

OUR VISION
Grow to Glow

All efforts are made at B. Mona High School to focus on the growth of the child in academics as well as moral values. Our aim is transform young children into achievers in any field of their choice (academics, sports, arts, etc.) with strong principles and the will to serve humanity.

Swami Vivekananda had said that our ultimate goal is to impart education through which character is formed; when strength of the mind is increased, the intellect expands by which one can stand on ones own feet.

Each child has the potential to achieve excellence in his/her life and we want to be facilitators in this process. Academic excellence, character building and development of a healthy mind and body are our priorities. All the activities of the school are designed to fulfil these priorities.

The school management and authorities hold high regard for character building through value-based learning system. Dedicated teams of teaching and non-teaching staff work tirelessly to make sure that every child blossoms into an individual of strong character and integrity.

I wish you good luck in choosing the right school with the right environment for your childs spiritual, emotional and physical growth.

With regards, Mona Rangaswamy

OUR CURRICULUM
Selection of good educational board is mandatory for holistic growth of a child. An educational system that encourages children to be original, creative and recognize their inner strengths is weighed upon. In tune with this insight, our school offers two choices of curricula state syllabus from Pre-KG to Std. X the guidelines of which are prescribed by KSEEB, and ICSE. For now, the ICSE syllabus has been extended only from Std. I to Std. V we are in the process of extending it further.

While the medium of instruction is English, students are also exposed to the state and national languages here along with core subjects such as Mathematics, General Science and Social Science. Emphasis is also laid on Art and Crafts, Physical Education, Value-based Education, Computer Science and SUPW.

Other than the regular academia, the school encourages integration and talent with occasions like:

Talents Day
Children participate enthusiastically in various competitions like fancy dress, dance, collage, mehendi, face painting, ikebana, rangoli, vegetable carving and many more.

National Days
The Republic Day and Independence Day along with Gandhi Jayanti, Teachers Day among others, are celebrated with great pomp and festivity. This is done to arouse patriotic spirit in students.

School Exhibitions
This is a platform for the students to put their knowledge into practical use and also hone their creativity. Models, charts and projects on various topics from science to

literature are made by the students over a period of time and displayed to their parents and friends.

Educational and Recreational Trips

These are organised at least once a year to supplement the learning done in school and also to inculcate proper social behaviour in the students. It also serves as an opportunity for the students to bond among themselves and with their teachers.

Annual Sports Day

This event is conducted annually on a grand scale. This is the time when the students display their prowess on the field in the form of march-pasts, mass drills, displays and inter house competitions (throw-ball, badminton, basket-ball, etc.). This helps in inculcating sportsmanship and a sense of fair play, further aiding to the development of our children.

Annual School Day

This event is celebrated in honour of the meritorious students of the previous academic year. The highlight is honouring SSLC Board toppers with medals, certificates and other exemplary rewards. Toppers from sports and arts are also rewarded. The students conclude the event with a glorious cultural display.

Valedictory Function
This is a solemn passing out convocation of the Std. X students which is held annually.

INFRASTRUCTURE
Holistic growth can occur in a child, when he/she is exposed to the rightful educational environment, complete with all the required basics in terms of apparatus, study material and other aids. Heres a gist of facilities that the students avail of at B. Mona High School during their course of development:

Computer Laboratory
A state of the art computer lab is the crown of our institution. All students are given an opportunity to work on the latest computers to enhance their learning.

Science Laboratory
The science lab is equipped with a wide range of scientific models, charts and tools. The students do projects and conduct experiments here with great fervour.

Library
Our library is a treasure trove of books. The students are exposed to a wide variety of books ranging from encyclopaedias to comics. Students here are encouraged to inculcate referring books to supplement their knowledge and aid their curiosity. The library is constantly updated with the latest titles and subjects.

To further encourage the habit of reading and referring books, regular reading hours have been incorporated into the school timetable. We issue library cards to all our students and allow them access even after the school working hours.

Audio Visual Aids

At B. Mona High School, we have moved away from the rote learning methodology for the most part. We prefer to leverage the superior advantage of audio-visual aid to better facilitate our students learning experiences. The students are periodically shown documentaries and videos on the topics they are taught.

Yoga, dance and music classes are conducted after school hours for holistic development of the students. Though optional, these classes are highly recommended.

ADMISSION PROCEDURE
B.Mona High School issues forms for coming academic years during the months of November and December. Admission here is a hassle free procedure, where applicants are shortlisted depending on the availability of seats. Children interested in seeking admission to Class IV and above will have to undertake a simple entrance exam, based on which they will be notified if shortlisted.

The Principal ensures personal interaction with each shortlisted pupil along with his/ her family/ guardian in order to get to know him or her. This is done so that individual attention can be given to the child based on his/ her needs.

TRANSFER CERTIFICATES:
Due to some unavoidable reason, if you wish to discontinue your childs education in this school, you can apply for a transfer certificate at the end of the academic year (after the final examinations and results thereafter) in the school office. The transfer certificate will be issued within two working days after the application is received. Discontinuing education in the middle of the academic year is not encouraged, and we would like to urge the parents to take notice of this.

FEES:
Every child nurtures a will to learn, which we must encourage. While education should not be free, it is imperative that the free rolling wheels of knowledge should not be stuck in the quicksand of heavy fees. With this thought, the fee structure at B. Mona High School is designed to be very nominal and intimidated to the parents before the beginning of the new academic year.

We urge the parents to adhere to the payment slabs and dates. In matters of any discrepancy, we request the parents to kindly check with the school authorities in order to avoid any miscommunication.

TRANSPORT FACILITY:
The school also provides transport facility to the students, at a separate, moderate cost. The school maintains a fleet of buses for this purpose. By signing up for the transport facility you can make sure that your child reaches school and returns home safely and comfortably. The school office can be contacted at the beginning of the academic year for further details.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
Needless to say, parental support and involvement are a must to create a seamless educational experience for a child. Although we welcome parents anytime they feel like paying us a visit, parent-teacher meetings are highly recommended and set up periodically for this purpose.

At B. Mona High School, we encourage the parents to participate constructively in these setups as they provide the right forum for collaborative thinking for your childs benefit and progress.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
