St. Mary’s Montessori School started on 20th January 1992, which was inaugurated by Shri Hokishe Sema, former Chief Minister of Nagaland and former Governor of Himachal Pradesh in presence of distinguished guests. The school started with just 16 students, 3 teachers and 1 aya and at present we have 2000 plus students with 90 teachers, 22 ayas and 16 office staff, totaling to 128 staff. This school christened as St. Mary’s Montessori School to keep it synonymous with the spirit of the people, as Nagaland being a Christian State and at the same time to invoke the blessings of Mother Mary. We started this school with an aim to impart the best education with extracurricular activities, which includes sports, educational activity, chess, painting, Library etc., and updated with changes every year. This temple of education was founded to give the best education and create all round development to children, all activities are compulsory till cl-II to give enough time to develop their inner talents. Every year, we put our innovative ideas to give something new to the school to nurture positive energy amongst the children. We have children from 2 ½ years onwards and we try to keep these children’s interest in the school, so that, their base becomes strong and in future they become an ideal and satisfied person and develop all round personality. Our vision and outlook to build up this institute as an exemplary one will definitely become true one day. As far as Montessori Education is concerned, we were the only school providing true Montessori System along with regular school from cl-III onwards. Since our school is upgraded, we have changed the name of the school as higher sections has been christened as St. Mary’s Higher Sec. School. For the higher classes, we stress on all-round development, with the best facilities which can be provided to the children, qualified and experienced faculty members to teach the higher classes to bring the best result for the school.
