The very name of the school talks about churning, and its philosophy is very much in-line with that.
At Manthan International School, children are encouraged to do their best on the academic and individual levels. The focus here is on tapping into each vertical of growing up through skill-based, inquiry-based, and student-centric model that grooms each child into a well-rounded citizen of the country.
What’s really uplifting about Manthan International School is that along with academics, sports, and co-curricular activities, the school focuses on values such as honesty, kindness, and hard work. These are skills that textbooks cannot teach us and it is up to each school to imbibe them.
Manthan is located in Tellapur, near Gachibowli. There’s another branch in Madhapur that has classes from Nursery to grade 3.
The Tellapur campus is spread across 5 acres with all amenities to facilitate the curricula it offers. The campus is also equipped with the needs of children with physical and mental disabilities so that every student takes full advantage of the beautiful school and the facilities it has in store.
Manthan is among the very few top international schools in Hyderabad that offer two curricula. Affiliated to both, Cambridge and CBSE, students in the 9th and 10th grades have the choice to pick one of the curricula for board examinations.
Until grade 8, Manthan follows the Cambridge or CAIE curriculum. The school also offers Cambridge Curriculum for grades 11 and 12, but soon, we may see them giving kids the option to choose CBSE in these two grades.

The auditorium helps enhance the learning experience multifold. It is also a place to explore talents and participate in a number of events and competitions.
Craft, dance, music, theater, and literary activities are a few of the many options that Manthan provides its kids. There are clubs for each activity, and through the academic year, children can choose to be a part of any club to develop their talents.
Sport is given equal importance at Manthan. The playground has a full-sized basketball court, kabaddi court, and a volleyball/throwball court, etc. There are also cricket nets and a football field for children to engage in physical activity.
As aforementioned, Manthan follows the Cambridge Curriculum until class 8, and in class 9, students may choose between CBSE and Cambridge based on their preferences and future goals. The teaching methodology is completely in-line with the Cambridge Curriculum. It is activity-based and experiential, making learning efficient and engaging at the same time.
It is worth mentioning here that Manthan International School has Special Needs teachers to help children with mental and physical disabilities. It provides every student the platform and opportunity to study without feeling excluded.
