Top CBSE School in Odisha, Co-Academic Programs for Holistic Student Development

ODM aims at the holistic development of its students. Thus, we not only provide quality education but also offer the most interesting and out-of-the-box activities for students to acknowledge their hidden talents and for us to provide the right exposure and platform to that talent. We lay due emphasis on different activities through active participation in various social, athletic, and artistic clubs and societies. We guide students to discover and create their own understanding.

In order to create and sustain an integrated multidisciplinary environment that facilitates excellence in research and creative activities, at ODM, in addition to regular classes in the fields of Music, Art, Yoga, Dance, etc. we also have dedicated clubs to enable students to pursue their interests and at the same time develop life skills. The team has carefully curated a set of clubs, events, activities, celebrations and educational tours to enhance exposure and experiential learning amongst students. Every grade has 2 dedicated periods for co-academics.

L.E.A.P Series

“Learn. Engage. Aspire. Prosper.” – This is an initiative wherein eminent personalities are invited to the campus to address the students. The guests share their experiences, shortfalls, successes and learnings with the students. We strongly believe that witnessing such talks and events helps in building character and inspiring students.

Educational Tours & Trips

The school organizes educational visits that promote personal, social, and emotional development. Site visits are a significant part of our course, during which students visit companies, and educational institutions and get insights into the internal working environment of an institution. Annual Tours, National and International Trips are designed to give exposure and facilitate cultural exchanges. These visits undoubtedly form an indispensable part of our teaching practice. For each such activity, parents’ approval is taken via consent forms post which a student is allowed to participate in the same.

High Flyer Awards
