“Beautiful hands are those that do work that is earnest.
And brave and true.
Moment by moment the long day through.”

--Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

At CMS where humanity conquers all, we do not recognize a certain type of intelligence instead, we want our students to embrace their gift of uniqueness with confidence, creativity and generosity. Our pursuit of excellence is not in a competitive or perfectionist sense, but through doing one’s best.

Our school curriculum is designed to give our students ample opportunities to develop as intelligent, confident, wise, lovable young children with a strong sense of social responsibility. The 2019-2020 academic year brings forth for our students a comprehensive range of extra-curricular activities where wholesome participation and also care for the happiness of every student will be encouraged and fortified.

Our teachers approach the classroom as one does a temple. They ensure a framework of discipline that is flexible yet supportive along with freedom that allows our students to learn from their mistakes and become dutiful.

“Learning is their journey, let them navigate. Push them to explore and watch them discover. Encourage them to question and allow them to struggle. Support their thinking and let them fly.”

I vehemently postulate that without healthy parental involvement a child’s education process is fragmentary. Education must always be authentic with a ceaseless interplay of experience, reflection, action and evaluation between parents, students and teachers. Therefore, we require an unequivocal cooperation of our parents in attaining our educational vision of ‘Jai Jagat’ which is a concoction of cultural tolerance, respect for all living creatures, compassion, wisdom, integrity, and moral values.

Every year my children invariably have been bringing accolades to CMS with their hard work, brilliance and consistent results. We are extremely fortunate to be blessed by the Lord with such an incessant progress. I extend my deep gratitude to our Founder Manager, Dr. Jagdish Gandhi, Founder Director, Dr. Bharti Gandhi, President and Managing Director (MD), Dr. Geeta Gandhi Kingdon, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Roshan Gandhi, Superior Principal and Head Centre for School Improvement (CSI), Ms. Sushmita Basu for being the guiding lamps that made our school a leading one amongst all.

A special message for my students –
View every problem as an opportunity to learn and strive to reach your goals. Always have the courage to do the right and be humble. Discover what makes you come alive, and then be your best at whatever you choose. All the best to all my lovely students.

The credit of a child’s success always goes to his/her school and parents. Today, I can proudly say we all are very successful.

A heartfelt thank you to all the parents, teachers and management.

City Montessori School, Aliganj Campus II was established in the year 1984 by the school’s founders, Drs Jagdish and Bharti Gandhi with just two students on its rolls. Prof Geeta Gandhi Kingdon is the President and MD of City Montessori Schools. Under the nurturing care of its first Principal, Mrs Gauri Khanna, the number of students grew at such a fast pace that within ten years, new premises were needed and the entire campus was shifted to Aliganj Sector 'O' (now known as Aliganj Campus I) while the old premises were retained and new students enrolled. This old premise is known as Aliganj Campus II and provides education from playgroup to Class VIII.

At CMS Aliganj Campus II, the message of Love, Peace, Unity and Brotherhood is spread through various activities, the school organises. Children receive the best value - based education, which inculcates in them human values of kindness, love, happiness and trust worthiness guided by their self-sacrificing, teachers and inspired by the smiling face of their principal, Mrs Samvida Adhikari.

CMS Aliganj II Campus has set a high standard of education for its children so that they reach out for excellence in the ever widening field of knowledge.

The unique feature is its emphasis on Spoken English, value-based education and development of children's talents in academics, music, games and sports. The campus organises Human Rights Day every year to raise consciousness for the need to recognize rights to all human beings equally especially women and children. Inter Branch Competitions on themes related to human rights like collage, painting, art, speech etc. for primary and junior classes are organized and attractive prizes are given to the winners.

Every day is a new beginning at the Campus. Under Mrs Samvida Adhikari's care and supervision children are educated to excel in all things and develop their abilities with great emphasis on eloquent speech.

Character building education takes precedence above all things and Mrs Samvida Adhikari's dedicated team of teachers leave no stone unturned to help the children to have a strong character. Model Classes are conducted regularly to focus on children's oratory skills. Art and craft exhibitions, Annual Mother's Day and sports Day are organized to motivate the students to realize their full potential in all fields of knowledge. The aim is to set high standards and help the children to reach for the sky.
