Inaugurated in April 2024, the Shalimar OneWorld campus, located near Ekana Stadium in Gomti Nagar Extension, marked a new chapter in the illustrious legacy of City Montessori School, Lucknow (CMS), founded by the late Dr Jagdish Gandhi and Dr Bharti Gandhi in 1959. The institution has held the Guinness World Record for being the world’s largest school by enrolment since 1999 and was honoured with the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education in 2002.

Rooted in the enduring ethos of ‘Jai Jagat’ (Victory to the World) and the timeless philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (The world is one family), City Montessori School Shalimar OneWorld Campus embodies the belief that true education transcends academics. It cultivates wisdom, compassion, and global understanding.

The campus was founded with the vision to create a dynamic learning environment that equips students with the skills, values, and knowledge required to thrive in an ever-evolving world. This vision is realised through the four foundational pillars of CMS education: universal values, global understanding, excellence in all things, and service to the world.

Aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the campus follows a forward-thinking CBSE curriculum based on a competency-based approach that seamlessly blends academic excellence with holistic development. Under the leadership of Principal Mrs Priyanka Agarwal, the campus has swiftly emerged as a crucible of progressive education and community engagement. Her vision emphasises empowering students through innovative teaching practices, inclusive learning opportunities, and the cultivation of global perspectives.

The eco-friendly and fully air-conditioned campus provides a serene, secure, and inspiring environment that stimulates curiosity and creativity. Every corner is meticulously designed to ensure students’ comfort and safety.

The campus has already become a vibrant community hub, creating a buzz with its summer camps, yoga sessions, and student-led clubs that encourage leadership, collaboration, and creative expression. A host of extracurricular and co-curricular activities help students develop self-confidence, teamwork, and communication skills, ensuring a well-rounded experience.

Through these meaningful initiatives, the CMS Shalimar OneWorld campus instils in every learner a deep sense of purpose and a lifelong commitment to creating positive change in the world.
