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.
