Pearl Modern School is fully operational and ready for the 2021-2022 academic year. “We have already admitted more than 400 students from KG to Class-XI with the capacity to accommodate more than 2,000 students. Our intention is to provide an enriching learning experience to all students, combining the importance of academics, life skills and holistic development of the students. This is the commitment of the management and teachers to parents who have entrusted us in helping to achieve their child’s full potential,” said Mathew.
