MOUNT MERCY SCHOOL : The concept and evolution
A group of Indian Professionals working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, after long deliberations, came to the conclusion that the deliverance of the Muslim community lies in education. The other major conclusion
they had reached was that there is need to provide quality education at affordable cost. The dream became a reality in the form of Mount Mercy School (MMS), which was inaugurated in June 1999 by the then Governor of Telangana State, Dr. C.Rangarajan.
The school management believes in the values of equality, respect for all faiths and creeds and social justice. Therefore, it encourages students from all communities and nations to join in to bring about positive change in the society.
There are schools that focus only on academic and work hard to achieve good results in board examinations. There are also schools who believes that the focus should be on the overall personally development of children. At MMS we have tried to combine all with an eye on getting superior results, the attention is also focused
at developing different talents in the children. We are amazed at the talents the children have demonstrated with just a little encouragement in academics, oratory, essay writing, fine arts, dramatics, music and sports.
we have seen remarkable growth in their confidence levels and self-esteem when we started urging them to take part in various contests in the school and inter-school competitions.
MMS is a co-education institute from Pre-Primary to Class X. It follows State Syllabus and is recognized by the Government of Telangana State. The school has all along been achieving excellent results in the SSC Examination.
MMS is housed in a three-storey building which is designed as a school structure. It has 38 well-ventilated rooms and other halls, Besides, there is about 1000 square meter open space in front of the building that is used as school playground.
The school which has always given due attention to the use of technology in education has introduced digi-learning or smart-learning from June 2013. Each floor has been equipped with a large board that is used for students from UKG to X. This new audio-visual aid has brought about a major change in the teaching methods. The students have taken up to digi-learning in big way.
Deeniyath : learning of Quran with Tajweed by hearting of seerat is a part of time table.
With an eye on the health of the school children, the management conducts annual health camps. It has also resorted to the supply of mineral water for drinking.
Focus on Pre-Primary education gets priority at MMS as it is at this stage that a good foundation is laid for the future learning. Therefore, an atmosphere of fun and joy has been created for them where they go about their learning through activities. While the child is lured towards learning via persuasive techniques, no pressure methods are applied on young minds.
The one person whom we would like to pay tributes to late Mr. Nawab Haji Khan, a quiet philanthropist and landlord of the school building, who encouraged us in our endeavor and allowed to set up the school at the present premises. May Allah rest his soul in peace. His son Mr. Akbar Ali Khan and grandson Mr. Imran Ali khan have continued their support to the running of the school, MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION: The medium of Instruction is English. Hindi / Urdu is the first language and second language is Telugu.
AFFILIATION AND SYLLABUS: The School is recognized by the Govt. of Telangana State.
EVALUATION METHOD: Evaluation of answer scripts will be done by the school teachers up to class IX on the basis of marking scheme provided by the board.
Self-defense is a part of our curriculum.
The Mount Mercy School, in its pursuit of wholesome education, envisages inspiring and developing a community of caring, progressive, and lifelong achievers, who know that success is more than just academics; it is the personal, emotional, and spiritual growth of the human being.
MMS strives to imbibe “Empowerment through knowledge” at the core of every student’s life and learning at our school. Students and Staff at MMS live in a community that are forward thinkers while incorporating traditions, values and culture; fast-paced and future-centric in evolution and infrastructure, while still being nurturing and loving; providing a sense of family and home, and a love for life and learning.

Greetings, Dear Parents.
At the outset, I welcome you virtually to Mount Mercy School. It was in the late 1990s when like-minded members of the Indian diaspora, then domiciled particularly in West Asian countries, myself included, deliberated upon and concluded that education is the most significant solution to pull the community out of its hardships. The conclusion manifested a little while later, in 1999 in particular, as the Mount Mercy School.
Powered by Mount Mercy School’s motto of Empowerment Through Knowledge, our vision and mission is to bring about overall development of students by means of inculcating values encouraging academic excellence and building character through a value-based education and co-curricular activities.
Mount Mercy School is well aware of the role of parents in shaping lives of their children. Given the fact that students spend a large part of the day in the school, we seek to deal with students in using parental attributes – those of compassion and empathy, without compromising on discipline.
Using a healthy blend of traditional and state-of-the-art teaching tools and techniques, and a competent faculty, Mount Mercy School equips students with the learning, knowledge and tangible and intangible resources that not only bring about intellectual growth, but also give practical skills to negotiate the challenges in this competitive world.
I invite you, dear parents, to visit our spacious campus and interact with us.
