There is fierce competition all around.

The pace at which it is increasing, is only throwing

up challenges that set benchmarks for the

children of today. What is necessary is that,

children should be equipped.

A school provides that foundation.

It is a place for grooming the future generation.

Most importantly, it opens the door to a

world of opportunities.

We are here to make that possible through a

strong focus on academics, and pursuits that

prepare your child to excel in every sphere of life.

Welcome to Sancta Maria International School.

Vision
At Sancta Maria International School, we aim to:

• Set the highest standards of learning and achieve intellectual

excellence within a diverse, collaborative community

• Empower children to achieve and excel

• Generate and disseminate knowledge to strengthen our society

and the environment

Mission
At Sancta Maria, our curriculum will integrate the best of teaching

approaches from across the world. Children will learn in a

world-class study environment through methodologies that will be a

combination of Western approaches to teaching, aimed at ensuring

clarity of concepts, and the Indian methodology of practice driven

towards perfection.

Our teachers will take ownership of every child, and will be

accountable for their progress. Most importantly, the school will seek

active parent-participation, so that they can contribute towards the

prosperity of their child.

Better methodologies.
Better thinking.
At Sancta Maria, we take the very best from various international

teaching approaches, which make teaching a dynamic process.

Lesson planners will include current methodology like Bloom’s

Taxonomy, The Jigsaw Method, DEAR (Drop Everything and Read)

and Peer Teaching. Also, learning at Sancta Maria will be collaborative.

This gives children the opportunity to engage in discussion, take

responsibility for their own learning, and become critical thinkers.

To ensure that every child has clear and thorough understanding of

concepts, the school will have Concept Review sessions at the end of

the day.

Also, the learning ability of every child is benchmarked; not only

against his peers in classroom, but also across the country, and even

worldwide. Following this, a programme of study is specifically designed

to focus on the child’s individual abilities. This means, children get the

attention they require in accordance to their learning capabilities.

 Sancta Maria takes pride in its teaching faculty. Our teachers are

an excellent blend of qualification, experience and culture. They

bring in open mindedness, commitment, and an outlook to teach

beyond the textbook.

Impactful teachers.
Resourceful parents.
We ensure our teaching faculty is given numerous opportunities
for professional development through the year. They are

part of various workshops, seminars and learning sessions

conducted by educational research institutions, both within the

country and outside.

We, at Sancta Maria, believe that parents add value to the

teaching process, and encourage them to be an integral part

of the school. They are also welcome to volunteer for school

activities and give their ideas and suggestions.
