“To inspire every child to become both good and smart,
a gift of God to mankind and a pride of the human race.”

City Montessori School, popularly known as CMS, is the world’s largest private school in a city with over 39,000 students in 20 locations in Lucknow. Its student body ranges from pre-school toddlers to the degree level. The CMS education, in terms of knowledge, qualities, skills, attitudes and capacities, strives to enable young minds to become conscious subjects of their own growth and active and responsible participants in a world society. CMS is an organisation with a vision of grooming children to become global citizens. Its vision is well enshrined in the school motto ‘JAI JAGAT’ — Glory to the World! The CMS philosophy is based on the belief that:

"Every child is potentially the light of the world and at the same time the cause of its darkness; wherefore the question of education must be accounted as of primary importance."

The academic and co-curricular achievements of CMS students have placed the school amongst the foremost educational institutions of the world.

CMS students have made an impact in national and international level events and their excellent performance in co-curricular and academic activities on a global platform have led them on to demonstrate a high achievement profile.
