Extracurricular Activities

We believe nurturing a child’s creativity is vital for their overall development. Practising art develops their creative, problem-solving and critical skills. At Manthan, we encourage students to experiment with traditional and modern art forms.

For pre-primary and primary students, art classes are mandatory. They learn the fundamentals of drawing, sketching, shading, and painting. Middle and high school students can delve deeper through the ‘Art and Craft’ club. Club members get assignments and are encouraged to exhibit their artwork.

Craft classes at Manthan promote imagination and help to improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination in pre-primary and primary school students. The teachers use cutting, pasting, and paper folding techniques to encourage students to express themselves and develop their conceptual understanding, concentration, organisational, and planning skills.

For pre-primary and primary students, craft classes are mandatory. Middle and high school students can delve deeper through the ‘Art and Craft’ club. Club members get assignments and are encouraged to exhibit their creations.

Dance helps students mature physically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially. At Manthan, we create various opportunities for students to express themselves through a range of dance genres.

Dance is a mandatory part of the pre-primary and primary students’ curriculum. Middle and high school students can choose to continue learning more advanced forms and choreography techniques by becoming members of the Dance Club. Students of all ages showcase their talent during festival celebrations, events, and assemblies. 

Our Music rooms are well-equipped with keyboards, drums, guitars, harmonica, computer and music systems. Music classes are a part of younger grade students’ daily schedules, allowing them to unwind and express themselves. Children showcase their skills through melodious musical performances during assemblies, festival celebrations, or on the annual day.

Music Club members of Middle and High Schools learn their chosen instrument or music genre in great depth. They are encouraged to compose their pieces and perform at different school events and interschool competitions.

Theatre is introduced in Grade 4 to build students’ confidence, tackle stage fright, and become comfortable with public speaking. It is often an integral part of language classes to help students improve their vocabulary and to use the language in everyday situations.

The various activities introduced in the drama class aid their learning and enhance soft skills such as observation, memory, voice and speech modulation. The students also learn about teamwork, characterisation, control of body movements, role-play, forms of expression, and problem-solving methods. Theatre also provides students with a different perspective which helps them tackle different subjects in academia.

For example, an explanation or a lesson can be understood through theatre techniques. Such integration between subjects allows learners to get a more well-rounded experience. Students often perform skits during assemblies. A lot of the material used in theatre classes is derived from their other academic classes. Middle and High School students can choose to pursue their interests in the performing arts by being part of the Theatre Club.
