What makes SMS different

• For a child SMS is a second home.
• Focused approach is adopted to identify the dominant strengths & weakness of every individual child.
• Considering the strengths and weaknesses of every individual child,his curriculum is customized.
• At SMS we strongly believe that every child is "BORN TO WIN" the important thing is how to make best use of his strengths and make this happen.
• Only school which has a daily planned activity schedule.
• Only school in which beside the conventional report cards you get a monthly report showing that what the child has gained on different aspects.
• Imparting best values to every child is a challenge for us to prove our expertise.
• The concept of our pre- school is based on a firm philosophy that “Every child is unique as an individual” and with patience, persistence and determination, we aim to bring about the best in each child.
• Keeping this philosophy in mind, we try to create an environment in school that will challenge the most confident child and reassure a hesitant child who is hovering on the threshold of learning with freedom to make mistakes.
• The pre - school curriculum focuses on learning through practical and project methods. This method invokes curiosity, develops interest, has an element of novelty and gives freedom to explore and experiment. It motivates the child to learn and thus in turn leads to attentiveness.
• This method slowly develops in the child the process of logical thinking and applying knowledge.
• We also supplement, activity based learning at various stages by audio-visual aids, field trips and lively demonstrations.
• In accordance with what one of the great writer has said, “The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is that little extra” and that is what we are trying to do at the kindergarten school.
• SMS is a home away from home.
• Our environment is designed with the goal of facilitating the developmental & emotional growth of children starting from 2 years of age. We aim to nurture the child so that they grow to become independent, with a desire to explore the world and understand it to the best of their ability. The adult to child ratio is the best compared to any school in and around Chandigarh.
• SMS is not only for those Montessori inclined parents but also for those who want to give the benefits of Montessori to their little ones but are unable to give them 'cause of their transferable jobs. In our kindergarten section where principles of Madame Montessori are followed and the children do get the advantage of working with the initial presentations with the materials. However for their level 1 and above they have traditional classrooms to help them adjust to the conventional ways of our education.
• It is mandatory that a Montessori enrolled child should be in our environment for a period of 3 years.

The Aims at SMS

• Create love for books in children.
• Widen child's horizon by imparting multidimentional thinking.
• Impart care moral values in children.
• Make every child confident and courageous.
• Try to groom every child in such a manner that one day he/she will become an asset for our nation.
