The first Quranic revelation says,

❝Read! In the name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists). He has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen. He has taught man that which he knew not❞. (Chapter 96 ayath:1-5)

These verses address the whole of humankind to seek knowledge and delve into critical thinking.

❝Seeking knowledge is mandatory for every Muslim.❞

The MWA focuses on these aspects – Reading and seeking knowledge.

At The MWA, we believe in the all-round development of the child. We give equal importance to co-curricular and extracurricular activities.

We aim not just to impart knowledge to the students but also to support them in developing the skills that will allow them to be responsible and contributing members of the community. With the guidance and support of the Management and the cooperation of dedicated teachers, we leave no stone unturned to bring out the latent potential in the students. The Assembly speeches by students, skits performed in the Assembly, Comprehensive Revision Programme (CRP) before the Exams, Toppers Enhancement Programme (TEP) & Students Training Programme (STP) for Std X and XII & various club activities organized in the school stand testimony to this.

Value education is a part of the curriculum. Education which does not mould character is worthless. We build individuals with strong character here.

Change is the only constant in life. When we embrace change, we will begin to see it as an opportunity for growth. Our Curriculum and teaching methodologies are reviewed and updated so that our students’ future needs are met. TATA Class Edge was introduced this year by the Management to introduce technology in classrooms.

In an age of technology explosion, it has become mandatory for teachers to be fully equipped with the latest trends in every field so that they have answers for all the questions posed by the students. Thus, Teacher – training is an on- going process at MWA.

Sports does not take a back seat at MWA. Our U 19 Football team won at the District level and represented Chennai at the State Football Tournament held in Coimbatore.

We are sure to achieve our aim of scaling new heights of success every year in collaboration with our young learners, dedicated teachers, supporting parents, and encouraging mentors.

I would like to conclude by quoting Gandhiji’s words.

❝ Live as if you were to die tomorrow,
Learn as if you were to live forever ❞

H. Sameen Fathima
Principal

A small band of Muslim women started the
❝The Women's Association School❞ in 1961 with a motto to ❝LEARN AND SERVE❞

The motive of this inception was to groom the girls of the community to excel in education both formally and non-formally, by honing their talents and skills to become great achievers in all facets of life and especially guiding them to march forward bravely to become able leaders and citizens.

We at The MWA, consider offering a structured curriculum that induces a holistic development of the child to face the competitive world. To hone the students' innate skills is our prime motto. We practice a systematic 5 step experiential teaching-learning method that activates students’ communication, logical, creative, and reasoning skills. Right from the foundational level of the Nursery to the Middle school, the child grows academically strong with the calibre to face the board exams confidently.

In a nutshell, we look forward to moulding and developing responsible young citizens towards nation-building.
