Nurturing growth at Sancta Maria

It's a wonderful experience with the Early Years at Sancta Maria. My child enjoys a nurturing environment that truly helped our child blossom in every way possible. The focus on experiential learning, play-based activities, and holistic development is remarkable. It's truly heartwarming to see how much my child have grown emotionally, socially, and intellectually in such a short time.

Sancta Maria: Embracing New Beginnings

For me, Sancta Maria was my second home. I attended 6th through 12th grade there, so it feels like I grew up there. I joined Sancta Maria right after moving to India from the US, and everyone welcomed me with open arms. While I had heard of so many kids who had trouble adjusting to life and school in India, I had no trouble at all. Sancta Maria made the transition extremely easy.

Unlocking Potential at Sancta Maria

My time at Sancta Maria was anything but mundane, despite only being there for 2 years. It’s an institution that does not just rely on traditional tropes of international schools or Indian schools, but an amalgamation of both! Aside from the academic support and freedom the school provides, it’s culture and the connections I made throughout are truly what created value as well as unlocked several aspects about me that I had never expected.

Inspiring teachers at Sancta Maria

I want to thank all of our teachers for inspiring each student to learn and work hard to reach new heights even if it means failing, as Brad Henry said, 'A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination and instill a love of learning.

My best schooling years

My most favourite years of schooling would definitely be my time in Sancta Maria International School. Moving from a different school let alone from a different country was a huge change for any student. I've been grateful to have been a part of the Sancta Maria family. I was holistically acquainted with all aspects of a great schooling experience.

International admissions: a smooth start for families joining from abroad

Thank you all for your incredible effort in making the Corbett trip such a success. It was wonderfully organised. Although initially hesitant to send the children without mobile phones, the team's positivity made the decision easier. My son, Dhairya Vaid (Grade 8), had an amazing time with his friends and caring teachers. He enjoyed the meals and felt completely at ease. A special thanks to Nida Ma’am and Shalini Ma’am for making him feel so happy and cared for. We truly appreciated the daily updates despite your busy schedule. Heartfelt thanks to Anvita Ma’am for going the extra mile to join the group and lift everyone’s spirits. Grateful for this fun and enriching experience!

Exceptional school! My kids love it—great teachers, strong values, and a caring environment

Our experience at Sancta Maria has been exceptional. My children just LOVE this school. They are happy to be at school. From the teachers to the students to the challenging curriculum, Sancta Maria integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons. Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within child – their good behaviors and achievements. The administration is open minded and think outside the box to make Sancta Maria successful educational experience for the students. Great Team- Great School

At Sancta Maria, students are truly happy—learning is joyful, inclusive, and deeply engaging.

Let me not talk about academics and qualified teachers, every good school fulfills (more practically, should fulfill) these two requirements. What differentiates SMISF is that, here the students are in a happy place. The way of teaching is not instructive but exploratory… the rules not authoritative but inclusive. What I learnt from them is that, when students are happy, learning happens much faster and easier.

Grateful for your care—my son has grown so much under your patient, nurturing guidance

Nurturing a child is much like growing a plant – it needs the right care, guidance and support to thrive. Your dedication has made a lasting impact on Shivin. Since he began schooling online with you, we've seen remarkable improvements. From struggling to hold a crayon to now colouring with focus, his progress is a result of your patience and belief in him. Discipline, responsibility and confidence are blossoming in him every day. Words aren't enough to express our gratitude. You will always remain an integral part of Shivin’s journey. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being his wonderful guide and mentor.

Kevin is super excited and feels both engaged and motivated since he’s been a part of the Enrichment Programme. It has helped him pursue, and enhance his areas of interest beyond the classroom.

At Sancta Maria my child became more confident, expressive and thriving in academics and arts.

The best school in Faridabad …….. I am seeing a drastic change in terms of knowledge and overall personality development of my child. From an introvert, my child has become an extrovert and she is able to express herself. The school is putting in a lot of effort to identify my kids’ inner talents and are grooming it, unbelievable that my daughter is able to sing !!!!! Perfect balance of sports and academics ….. Overall the best decision I have made for my child. Commendable job by the principal Anvita Gupta and her team.

Sancta Maria offers holistic, concept-based learning with IB & Cambridge—perfect for our child

We were looking for a curriculum that is new age & progressive and thus we chose Cambridge + IB for our child. However, no curriculum is good unless the institute offering can match up to it. Sancta Maria is an excellent school that offers holistic development that includes academics, extra-curricular & Life Skills. Also, the school follows the concept of synchronous leaning wherein every subject’s discussion revolves around the same concept, gives child a 360 degree perspective. A beyond book way of learning with application based focus and equal opportunities for all students is what makes us as parents content. Sancta Maria is a school where students Learn together, Play together & Eat together!

Thanks to Sancta Maria for the Enrichment & MUN programs—boosting skills, voice, and confidence!

I am writing here as a token of appreciation for the efforts and the initiative taken by the school in the form of the Enrichment programme. Thank you for providing the students with such learning opportunities wherein they can express their views and opinions freely. The Model UN programme is helping the children learn from each other. It activates the students’ imagination and creativity while also enhancing their confidence and communication skills. Keep up the good work!
