We are humbled by our #1 ranking for three
consecutive years, and latest promotion to #1+. I
“am very pleased with our highest score under the
parameter of infrastructure provision because we have
carefully prepared our Montessori classrooms to be
appealing, welcoming, and designed for independent
learning. Child-sized furniture and accessible materials
promote ease of use, order, and calmness. Children help to
care for plants and arrange flowers, and classrooms enable
harmonious movement, concentration, and reflection.
Even outdoors, the environment supports children’s
gross motor development through play, climbing, and
exploration. Activities like planting vegetables for
community snacks or observing butterflies, textures,
and colours in nature enrich children’s understanding
and arouse curiosity. All this is supported by our prepare children for the future” — Samina Mahmood
