Learning Model and curriculum:

Guided by a team of highly skilled educators, we maintain a steadfast commitment to academic excellence, competencies, and values. Our signature learning model, anchored in the Montessori Method, empowers students to reach new heights. Complemented by our I.C.S.E. curriculum, this approach not only fosters effective learning but also nurtures leadership development.

Guide your child’s educational journey with the Montessori Method, fostering continuous learning from ages 2.5 to 5.5. They would progress effortlessly into the highly acclaimed Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (I.C.S.E.) Board syllabus, covering Class 1 through Class 8. Our students seamlessly transition to public exams in the 10th, 11th, and 12th standards conducted by the Tamil Nadu State Board of Education, consistently achieving excellent results. Demonstrating unwavering commitment, our students excel in State Board assessments, showcasing a dedication to academic excellence.

At Santa Maria School, we depart from the conventional focus on memorization in education. Instead, we place a strong emphasis on nurturing intellectual capabilities, recognizing that true innovation and value creation arise from critical thinking.

Our students are cultivated as ‘THINKERS’ through:

• • • • Encouraging analytical thinking,
      • Promoting a hands-on approach &
      • Learning from both successes and failures

In our school, a dedicated team of specialists is committed to elevating language proficiency, fostering debating skills, and imparting essential life skills such as etiquette and good manners. We prioritize a well-rounded education, valuing the development of talents, moral values, ethical principles, responsible citizenship, and proficiency in arts, sports, and games as much as academic excellence.

At Santa Maria School, we embrace a unique approach to discipline. Rather than relying on strict prohibitions, we respect the natural, playful spirit of children. Our method involves guiding students towards self-control and higher discipline levels through gradual growth. We believe in providing students with a significant degree of freedom within boundaries to foster genuine discipline. Our environment is non-competitive and non-judgmental, promoting self-confidence and self-respect.

At Santa Maria School, character development is a top priority. Our dedicated management and staff lead by example, embodying the values they teach. In our co-educational setting, students receive personalized counselling and guidance to nurture healthy friendships. Santa Marians are widely recognized for their exemplary character and behaviour, reflecting our commitment to shaping well-rounded individuals.
