At MGS, our academic activities are not only inclusive but also deeply rooted in tarbiyah. From preschool onward, children are guided to perceive the world through the lens of Islam. This gradual embedding of tarbiyah and Islamic values alongside contemporary education distinguishes our academic experience from that of other institutions, Alhamdulillah!
Our school prides itself on fostering holistic development through a diverse array of tarbiyah-driven extra and co-curricular activities. Students are encouraged to explore their interests and talents beyond the academic curriculum, engaging in sports competitions, calligraphy exhibitions, various clubs, and community service initiatives. These activities complement classroom learning, instilling essential life skills such as teamwork, sportsmanship, leadership, and creativity. Through such extracurricular events i.e school retreat nights, Seerah Week, and various other engaging avenues, we focus extensively on personal development to cultivate well-rounded personalities who can serve as an inspiring representation of successful Muslims in both academic and real-world scenarios.
At MGS, participation in Model United Nations (MUNs) and debate competitions is an integral part of developing critical thinking, research, and public speaking skills. The school provides rigorous training sessions, mentorship, and practice rounds to prepare students for national and international MUN conferences and debate tournaments. By engaging in these intellectually stimulating activities, MGS students learn the art of diplomacy, negotiation, and structured argumentation, empowering them to express their viewpoints confidently. These experiences help shape future leaders by fostering a culture of analytical thinking, respectful discourse, and global awareness.
At MGS, Seerah Week is a highly anticipated event where students embark on a journey to explore the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Through engaging storytelling sessions, interactive discussions, various competitions, and creative projects, students gain valuable insights into the values of compassion, honesty, and humility. The school organizes guest speaker sessions, multimedia presentations, and reflective exercises to make learning more immersive and meaningful. By actively participating in these activities, students at MGS develop a stronger connection with their faith and are inspired to apply Islamic principles in their daily lives.
MGS’s Retreat Nights offer a unique opportunity for students to step away from their daily routines and engage in spiritual reflection, self-awareness, and personal growth. These overnight gatherings include motivational talks, Quranic recitations, guided meditations, and teamwork exercises, all carefully curated to strengthen students’ emotional and spiritual well-being. Through structured activities designed by MGS, students foster a sense of community, develop mindfulness, and enhance their personal connection with Allah (SWT). The experience leaves participants feeling refreshed, motivated, and more grounded in their Islamic identity.
Educational and recreational trips at MGS are thoughtfully planned to complement classroom learning and broaden students’ horizons. Whether visiting historical landmarks, science museums, cultural institutions, or nature reserves, each trip provides a hands-on approach to understanding various subjects. MGS also organizes recreational outings, such as adventure parks, outdoor explorations, and heritage tours, allowing students to unwind while fostering teamwork and social skills. These carefully curated excursions create lasting memories and enrich students’ educational experiences by bringing lessons to life beyond textbooks.

In these activities, students learn teamwork, self-reliance, and environmental responsibility.
