Round Square

A positive learning climate in a school for young children is a composite of many things. It is an attitude that respects children. It is a place where children receive guidance and encouragement from responsible adults around them. Being a part of Round Square Organization provides us with opportunities to create an atmosphere that builds self confidence in children so that they can dare to take risks. It nurtures a love for learning.

Membership of the round square network offers schools a framework for excellence and continuous improvement, along with structured opportunities to collaborate and share experiences with like-minded peers, around the world.

Founded in 1966, Round Square maintains and facilitates a worldwide network of 160 schools in 40 countries.

All the schools who are part of Round Square share a holistic approach to learning; built around the SIX IDEALS of learning –Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership and Service.

A joint Endeavour of Mayo College & Mayo College Girls’ School

September 1st was celebrated as the Round Square day by all member schools in The South Asia and Gulf Region of Round Square.

40 boys & girls of Mayo College & Mayo College Girls’ School went along with their Round Square Representatives to Ajmer Train station to conduct an awareness campaign envisaging the importance of Public place cleanliness & hygiene.
