In an increasingly interconnected world, global education is no longer an option but a necessity. It empowers students with the knowledge, skills, and values required to thrive in a multicultural society while fostering international cooperation and peace. At City Montessori School (CMS), we believe in the philosophy of Jai Jagat—victory for the world—which encapsulates our commitment to nurturing global citizens who can lead with wisdom, compassion, and responsibility.
What is Global Education?
Global education is an approach to learning that integrates international perspectives, cross-cultural understanding, and a commitment to universal values such as peace, sustainability, and human dignity. It goes beyond academic excellence, focusing on holistic development, moral leadership, and a service-oriented mindset.
The Ethos of CMS in Global Education
At City Montessori School (CMS), global education is not just a concept but a way of life. Our vision, inspired by Dr. Jagdish Gandhi and Dr. Bharti Gandhi, emphasizes ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’—the world is one family. This philosophy is embedded in our curriculum, teaching methods, and extracurricular activities, ensuring that every student becomes a torchbearer of world peace and unity.
Key Aspects of Global Education at CMS
1. Universal Values & Moral Education

2. International Exposure & Collaborations
CMS actively collaborates with global institutions, universities, and educational bodies to provide students with an enriching cross-cultural experience. Programs such as International Conferences, Model United Nations (MUN), and student exchange programs enhance their global perspective.

One of the hallmarks of CMS is its commitment to peace education. Through initiatives like the International Conference of Chief Justices of the World (ICCJW) and the World Parliament for Children, students engage with world leaders, policymakers, and experts, advocating for global unity and justice.

A global education must be future-ready. At CMS, we integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) with humanities, arts, and social sciences, ensuring that students develop a balanced perspective on innovation and ethics.
