MCH Summer School
Reimagine classroom spaces through applied learning and enjoy a taste of college life in a charming campus town. You will participate in a range of activities that are designed to give the best exposure to a future in the humanities and social sciences in the company of peers from the best of schools across the country.
We believe the best learning happens when we have time and space to think for ourselves. The Summer School has been designed to offer a guided and facilitated education drawing from select academic disciplines via select activities. By the end of the one-week program, the students will participate in various activities, within and beyond the classroom. Apart from this, the students will also benefit from individual mentoring, and will be able to hone their learning and writing skills in their focused areas of interest.
Interested students from any discipline in their XI or XII grade are eligble to apply.
