With over 60 years in the higher education space, the Manipal group is a pioneer in education in India with a very strong track record in higher education. All schools promoted by the group will focus on excellence in academics, sporting, cultural and artistic activities. 
Manipal Sharada Public School is a co-educational school and welcomes students from all walks of life and a variety of different backgrounds.  The school works in close partnership with the students and parents to develop their full and individual potential for life and work. 
The School follows the CBSE pattern of study from Grade I onwards with English as the medium of instruction. The School, in its first phase will offer quality education for Kindergarten to Grade IV and in the years to come will offer Middle School and the High School programmes as well.
Classrooms are equipped with interactive devices and DigitALly, a content platform that provides e-learning content for all grades. DigitALly has won the Manthan Award for the Best Digital Learning Platform in 2008. This content helps the teacher in making the classroom very engaging and interactive. The process of cognitive learning that is followed in the i -Classroom, ensures that the child learns the concepts thoroughly and retains the knowledge for a very long period of time
The curriculum addresses the individuality of students and does not confine itself to academics.  Sports and activities are integrated in the curriculum.  The striking feature of the curriculum is the absence of tests/exams up to Grade IV thus making learning fun.  At the same time, continuous evaluation and feedback in the learning system has been designed.  The curriculum design permits wide scope for children to explore their interests and to promote creativity, curiosity, determination and independence.  Self reliance, tolerance and team work are a part of their learning experience
High academic levels will be maintained right from the lower classes to enable the students to face challenges of a highly competitive world. Care has been taken to select creative, competent and professionally qualified teachers to impart qualitative learning. The role of the faculty at Manipal Sharada  Public School is that of a facilitator who makes learning fascinating by promoting interaction. The teachers in Manipal Sharada Public School undergo ongoing training to hone their teaching and technology skills.
