Largest School
The world’s largest school by pupils is the City Montessori
School, Lucknow, India,
which by July 2005 had a record enrolment of more
than 30,000 pupils. The school was founded in 1959
by Mr. Jagdish Gandhi, a socially motivated Gandhian,
along with his wife Mrs. Bharti Gandhi, M.Ed., a child
psychologist. The pair launched their first campus
on a borrowed capital of 300 rupees, housed it in
rented premises and began with only five students.
The school admits boys and girls between the ages
of 2 and 5, who can then follow through their education
to Degree Level. It is the only school honored with
the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education (2002), and the
only to organize and host 15 international events
for children each year.
The school’s
inspirational motto is “Jai Jagat”
