The cornerstone of CMS educational philosophy is a firm belief in the statement,
“Every child is potentially the light of the world, as well as the cause of its darkness;
wherefore the question of education must be accounted as of primary importance.“
CMS believes that the school has the most important role in shaping human potential.
A modern school must therefore, act as a lighthouse of society, providing meaningful
education, spiritual direction, guidance and leadership to its students, parents and society.

Truly life is a vicissitudinous journey of
experiences and our tumultuous
tryst with the upheaval unleashed by the
pandemic has been a watershed
phase in our lives. It has been a test of our
fortitude and resilience, our faith
and spirituality.
I am happy to note that we at CMS have
successfully turned this cataclysmic
adversity into an opportunity and taken
the lead in conducting online classes,
PTM’s, orientation sessions, co-curricular
activities, tests, assessments, counselling
and destressing sessions, etc.
We conducted the first comparative examination in the online mode.
Our teachers proved to be true friends, philosophers,counsellors and
guides of the students and also of the parents. Our teachers , no less
than corona warriors, worked with missionary zeal during these trying
times to keep hope afloat amidst the deluge of despair and distress.
We worked tirelessly to harness the creativity and ingenuity of the
students during this period and you will find vignettes in this edition
which are a true expression of our children’s psyche.
During the unlock phase we scrupulously planned and conducted the
offline second comparative examinations following all COVID protocols
as for us nothing is more important than the health, safety and security
of our children. The challenges were overwhelming but our team proved
equal to the task. I am personally indebted to all our esteemed parents
for reposing their faith in us .
I solicit their cooperation in all our future endeavours. God is with us
during these turbulent times. The first Pre Board examination has also
been conducted and these offline examinations have helped us in actually
assessing our students’ knowledge and preparedness for the forthcoming
Board examinations.
After a long hiatus, offline classes resumed in a staggered and phased
manner and the whole school , regardless of the meticulous observance
of the conventions of the ‘new normal’ was agog with life and activity.
Welcoming the kids back to school was truly an emotional experience
for me and all of us- it was the new dawn that we had been waiting
for-celebrating Vidya ka parv with the tiny tots, the light of our campus and
our lives was a memorable experience- it was truly a carnival but again,
with all safety checks painstakingly in place. We are now filled with a new
vigour and vim to turn them into the creative capital of the world.
Our immediate focus is obviously the Board classes and we are leaving no
stone unturned in ensuring that our students excel and perform to the best
of their abilities.
Education has become transcendental in letter and spirit and is no longer
confined to the four walls of the classroom. We have implemented so many
new pedagogical techniques, made technology an integral part of education,
effectively linked education to life and sown the seeds of a multi- disciplinary
approach to education as delineated in the NEP. We are upgrading the
infrastructure and making new professionally relevant subjects like Legal
Studies available to students to give them a wider choice.
We plan to harness the latent talents of our students and have planned
vocational courses in various subjects including music and the performing
arts. The FIITJEE classes have been running successfully. Our stress on Total
Quality Management in Education has been vindicated in the changed world
panorama.
In this annual e-magazine, we have included the stellar achievements of
our prodigious students. They have the potential, passion and panache to
reach for their own individual skies and blaze a trail of their unique talents
in the world. As I always say, kids’ minds are a gold mine of ideas, a veritable
treasure trove of thoughts, emotions and perceptions. It is very important
to make education child centric and the write ups included in this magazine
enable us to explore the magical world of their minds and hearts.
This edition will show you that when the going gets tough, the tough get
going and the efflorescence of creativity has reinforced my faith that the
canvas of the future has no shade of pessimism or cynicism. But at the same
time, it is our duty to mould these pliable and impressionable minds in such
a way that that they become unprejudiced fountainheads of idealism and
crusaders against polarisation and divisiveness of any kind.
Paradoxically, the pandemic, despite imposing social isolation on us, has
brought us emotionally and empathetically closer to one another than
nothing else and we have emerged stronger and more resilient.
I am sure this edition will make for interesting reading not only as a
compendium of the accomplishments of our students but also as an
expression of their vision and perspective, their conflicts and dilemmas,
their unspoken dreams and desires. We have great hopes from 2021.
The vaccination drive is underway. We would like to assure all our esteemed
parents, guardians and stakeholders that we are following ALL COVID
SAFETY NORMS in letter and spirit. Our altruistic teachers and self sacrificing
staff members are ensuring the safety, health and security of each and
every child. We are conscientiously committed to providing Quality Education
to our students. I would like to express my gratitude to the CMS management
for guiding us so well through this crisis. CITY MONTESSORI SCHOOL has been
a lodestar in the firmament of education and will always be.
