Over the years, CMS has become known for the comprehensive and balanced development of its students. It is preparation not just for a job but for life itself. Such an education better prepares children for the uncertainties of the future. It grooms them to become multi-faceted so that they are able to adapt to an increasingly more complex, uncertain and global culture, while becoming useful and outstanding citizens of the country and the World.

A Four Part Program: CMS has adopted for its educational framework four critical building blocks of a child's complete education as promoted by The Council for Global Education, USA. These are: universal values, global understanding, excellence in all things, and service to humanity.

Values Education: Values put meaning into action. A values education is the foundation for every child's development. Without it, education cannot be effective.

Global Understanding: Children must learn to view national and cultural diversity as an asset. Love and respect for each other, proper communication skills, and true understanding must be the goals.

Excellence: Academic excellence is a consequence of a values focused education. A child who accepts excellence as a life guiding principle will be able to better develop their full potential and achieve extraordinarily.

Service: Children must be inspired to contribute to the betterment of the world. By taking care of the environment or the needy, for example, children gain additional confidence and motivation that classroom setting alone cannot provide.

The Decade of Divine Education (1991-2000): To inculcate high moral values and a spiritual perspective in the students, the School has declared the last decade of the 20th century as the CMS Decade of Divine Education. Under this programme, special emphasis is laid on scientific aspects of education. For example, the session 1995-96 was celebrated as the Year of the Family and 1996-97 was the Year of Eloquent Expression and Remedial Teaching while 1998-99 was designated as the Year of Making Every Child Good and Smart. From the current session CMS is celebrating the first decade of the 21st century as the CMS Decade of Spiritual Education (2001-2010).

Spiritual Upbringing: In the recent years, there has been a veritable paradigm shift in the theory and concept of the purpose of education. Parents and teachers no longer believe that the purpose of education is merely to prepare for a job or for material success. Most people realise that education must also cultivate spirituality and compassion. An educated person must be a better human being in terms of culture, compassion, discipline and personal values or else education remains incomplete.
