Holistic Development
Working under the banner of St. Montfort, we believe that education of young human beings should involve much more than simply moulding them into future workers or citizens. Every child is more than a future employee; every person's intelligence and abilities are far more complex than his or her scores on standardized tests. Holistic education is based on the premise that each person finds identity, meaning, and purpose in life through connections to the community, to the natural world, and to spiritual values such as compassion and peace.
Holistic education aims to call forth from people an intrinsic reverence for life and a passionate love of learning. This is done, not through an academic "curriculum" that condenses the world into instructional packages, but through direct engagement with the environment. Holistic education nurtures a sense of wonder. There is no one best way to accomplish this goal, there are many paths of learning.
What is appropriate for some children, in some situations, in some historical and social contexts, may not be best for others. The art of holistic education lies in its responsiveness to the diverse learning styles and needs of evolving human beings.
Academic Achievements
Motivation will almost always beat mere talent; and Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength; for the world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation...The hand is the cutting edge.
Every year, our students participate in inter-school science exhibitions and other competitions such as Elocution, Math Olympiads, Quiz, Singing, Dance, etc.
