What we are, what we do

Every time we tell a parent that original thinking and clear understanding are more important than marks or grades, we get the same question: "But my child's college admission depends on marks. And what about career? Will my child get a good job if the marks are not good? After all, we are in India." These are valid concerns, but not in the 21st century. National borders no longer define the market for one's talent. More than the numbers on the mark sheet, the most discerning employers are today looking for qualities like creativity and imagination, critical thinking, problem-solving capabilities and the ability to work with a team. These are fundamental to what some of the world's foremost thinkers have termed as 21st century skills. At SMIS, we believe in imparting these skills. Everything that we do is designed to prepare every child to face every challenge the evolving world throws up like an intelligent, diligent and compassionate global citizen.
