and  world  affairs  to  become  critical  thinkers,  exhibit  analytical
                     approaches to the challenges of a rapidly changing world. Our student
                     delegations from Class VIII participate in several MUN conferences.

                     Junior DAIMUN: Students in Class VII prepare for MUN across their
                     Class  VII  year,  culminating  in  an  in-house  ‘Junior  DAIMUN’  in
                     preparation for Class VIII.

                 f)  Coding and Robotics

                     NMAJS  provides  opportunities  to  the  students  to  master  the
                     fundamentals in four digital domains – Digital Citizenship, Microsoft
                     Office  Suite,  Coding,  and  Adobe  Creative  Cloud.  These  domains
                     empower the students with effective communication, collaboration,
                     creativity, design, presentation, and problem-solving skills. At NMAJS
                     every  student  from  Early  Years  to  Grade  VIII  is  exposed  to
                     programming  languages  to  ensure  that  they  have  a  basic
                     understanding  of  computer  programming  language,  developing
                     higher order thinking skills.


                     Through  robotics  and  coding  programmes  we  look  at  building  a
                     strong foundation in the field of computational thinking and robotics.
                     The school provides students with the resources and the opportunity
                     to use this knowledge, while presenting it at global competitions like
                     the  FIRST  Tech  Challenge  (Classes  VII-VIII)  and  the  FIRST  Robotics
                     Competition  (Class  VIII).  The  competition  curriculum  also  has  the
                     students espousing various causes like inclusion and gender diversity,
                     by  providing  equal  opportunities  to  all,  through  partnerships  with
                     organisations that work closely with local communities.

                 g)  Annual School Events

                     The  Annual  Day,  School  Fete  and  Sporting  meets  are  significant
                     events  that  bring  the  whole  school  family  together.  The  events
                     showcase the uniqueness of each and every student, focusing on the
                     joy of learning and community service. In preparation for Annual Day,
                     the  school  schedule  changes  and  we  follow  an  'Evening  School'
