The Beginnings

Wisdom Montfort International School was opened in 2014. It is a unit of the Montfort Educational and Charitable Trust of the Brothers of St. Gabriel, which is a Religious, Charitable and Educational Society of the Catholic Church. The Founder of this Society is St. Louis Grignion de Montfort who lived in the 18th century. His country of origin is France. The members of this Society are fully dedicated to the mission of education through charitable institutions across the globe. In India alone, they have about 150 such institutions of various types, like schools, colleges, technical and vocational institutions, training schools, social service centers, Special education for the differently abled children, and so on. Through these institutions they aim at empowering the youth particularly the weaker sections of the society and the rural people.

The Montfortian Vision of Education

Montfortian education aims at giving the youth the basic skills and knowledge needed to climb up the ladder of life through a process that is both enjoyable and enlightening. They learn to be worthy citizens of the nation who can render selfless service to their countrymen. Montfortian education is meant to be an adventure of discovery and creative learning. The school constantly endeavours to instil in its students deep faith in God, love for fellow human beings, love for all creatures and nature in general, quest for truth, genuine freedom, social justice, love for the poor and the less privileged, and so on. Montfortian institutions always strive to maintain a friendly and welcoming atmosphere in their campuses. Love for nature is amply evident in the greenery that surrounds them.

It aims at the fullest possible development of every young student by developing their various gifts and talents. Nothing is left to chance. Montfortian education, in short, takes care of the student's Physical, Mental and Spiritual life.

The School Community

The School Community consists mainly of the students, teachers, management and parents. Everything happens in close collaboration among these stake holders. Utmost importance is given to interpersonal relationships and inter-dependence. Everything said and done, the ultimate goal is the growth and development of the students who are the real assets and beneficiaries of the institution. Wisdom Montfort international School is a minority institution primarily meant for the education of the youth who knock at its doors. The school is open to all without any distinction of caste, religion, ethnicity, social background or language.

About School Emblem

The motto of Wisdom Montfort “Scientia et Sapientia” in Latin means Knowledge and Wisdom. This watchword of our school brings out the Vision and Mission of Wisdom Montfort, a Montfortian School of Excellence. We, at ‘Wisdom Montfort’ will not stop at merely imparting knowledge to the Children in our care – but ensure that the Holistic Education given to them will lead them to the realms of Wisdom.Mere acquisition of knowledge is earthly and has no lasting value. 

1.  The emblem contains all dimensions of knowledge: The open book represents the quality education the students will receive as they pursue their quest for knowledge.
2.  The computer symbolizes the 21st-century literary culture and the role of mass media in Holistic Education, wherein students should be computer literate, familiar with information technology, in order to be considered truly literate. 
3.  The yellow circle with a dot in the middle symbolizes ‘Wisdom’, the ultimate focus of Montfortian Education. We believe in all-around and comprehensive education – ‘a Sound Mind in a Sound Body’ is what we stress upon. 
4.  Sports and Games play an equally important part in our philosophy and pedagogy of Education. 
5. The racquet and the ball represent Sports, Games and Athletics. To help students develop their Aesthetic values, we give them a lot of opportunities and encourage literary and liberal arts.
6.  The masks represent Arts, Music, Dance,Communicative Skills and Dramatics. Wisdom Montfort is a Green School.

 We invite our students to go beyond the classrooms and learn from nature, trees, flowers, animals, birds, rivers, mountains and oceans. We want the students to be eco-friendly and to cultivate eco-spiritual qualities. The spirituality of Montfortians emanates from the bosom of Mother Earth and it strives to create a sustainable world where all created things live in harmony with each other and move towards a new Heaven and a new Earth! We want our students to fight pollution in all forms and work hard to protect Mother Earth and the Universe, under the umbrella of the five Rs namely, Reduce, Refuse, Repair, Reuse and Recycle. This is represented by the tree of life in the emblem.

 Above the circle, we have two letters D & S with the cross between, ‘D † S’. D and S stand for Dieu Seul in French – the watchword of our inspiration and source, St. Louis Grignion de Montfort. It means God Alone and reminds us of what St. Montfort believed and taught through his life, through his preaching and writings. Irrespective of all that we do, it is ‘God Alone’ that must be the focal point of our living and being. The fruit of all our educational endeavors and acquisition of knowledge is wisdom. At the top of the emblem, we have a crown with a three-pronged structure representing the ‘Trinitarian’ dimension of the Almighty who guides and watches over and protects the School, the Children, teachers, parents and collaborators.
