CITY MONTESSORI SCHOOL
Aliganj Campus I
Conforming to the Vision 2025 goals of CMS, we have incorporated new approaches, learning pedagogies, and SDGs of the United Nations to make education child centric.
WE OFFER
CMS Aliganj Campus I adopted the Cambridge International Curriculum to foster an educational paradigm that transcends conventional teaching-learning boundaries. The curriculum is applauded for its intellectual rigour, emphasis on critical reasoning, and capacity to cultivate globally competent individuals. Armed with internationally recognised Cambridge qualifications, CMS students possess a distinct advantage when applying to elite universities and pursuing professional careers globally.

PRINCIPAL'S DESK
Welcome to CMS Aliganj Campus I, where education ignites curiosity, creativity, and compassion. Our mission is to foster academic excellence and holistic development, guiding every child to love learning. Rooted in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 6 Cs—Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, Character, and Citizenship. We nurture innovative thinkers, compassionate leaders, and responsible global citizens.
This year, we expanded our Cambridge (IGCSE) section to grade IX, emphasising inquiry-based learning and global perspectives. Our technology-enhanced classrooms encourage hands-on, experiential learning, preparing students to engage meaningfully with the world. Our dedicated teachers, through ongoing professional development, ensure the highest quality education.
Beyond academics, we offer diverse co-curricular activities, from literature to environmental initiatives, helping students discover their passions and become tomorrow's change-makers. This journey is supported by our visionary management, whose guidance empowers us to continually grow and evolve. Together, let's continue building a brighter future for every child.
ABOUT CAMPUS
Founded on June 30, 1993, by Founder-Manager Dr Jagdish Gandhi and Founder-Director Dr Bharti Gandhi, CMS Aliganj Campus I upholds a legacy of academic excellence and innovation in education. The campus is led by Senior Principal Mrs Jyoti Kashyap and Principal Mrs Shivani Singh, who nurture foundational values while guiding students towards futuristic learning.
Affiliated with the CISCE board, the campus offers education from Montessori to Grade XII, with Science and Commerce streams at the ISC level. In March 2023, a new Cambridge Section under Cambridge International Education was inaugurated, which includes grades I to IX.
The campus features state-of-the-art infrastructure, including spacious, well-ventilated classrooms with whiteboards and smart panels; well-equipped laboratories for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, and Robotics; well-stocked libraries; an Olympic-size swimming pool; a splash pool for children; a spacious playground; and an infirmary. The new campus building, inaugurated on 4th July 2012, reflects CMS’s vision for modern architecture and futuristic education. An integrated ERP system efficiently manages both academic and administrative records.
A dedicated Jai Jagat section provides targeted support to aspirants of JEE, NEET, CLAT, and other competitive exams. Students receive personalised guidance at the Career Counselling Centre. It implements the ‘Study Abroad’ programme and organises career fairs and workshops, enabling learners to make informed decisions.
‘Celesta’, an international ‘Festival of Music & Dance’ hosted every alternate year, fosters a deep appreciation of cultural diversity by encouraging intercultural exchange among students. Additionally, the Model United Nations (MUN), organised by the campus, promotes global awareness, thoughtful dialogue, and diplomatic engagement.
Rooted in a strong sense of civic responsibility, students and teachers at CMS Aliganj Campus I lead various outreach programmes focused on water and energy conservation, animal care, and social service. Students mentor their underprivileged peers through the “Each One–Teach One” initiative. Other community-building initiatives like JYEP (Junior Youth Empowerment Programme) instil empathy, commitment to community service, and a sense of purpose in students. Such interventions nurture holistic development and raise students as socially responsible and conscious individuals.
