MESSAGE FROM PRICIPAL

It is a great pleasure for me to share a few thoughts about our school. I feel truly honored to serve as the Principal of St. Mary’s School (SMS) and sincerely thank the Society of Pilar (Mumbai Province) for trusting me with this responsibility.
At SMS, we are dedicated to providing quality education that helps students grow into lifelong learners and responsible members of society. Our teaching approach goes beyond just sharing knowledge—it focuses on the unique needs of each student. We aim to help every child reach their full potential by offering the right opportunities for success.
Our experienced and highly qualified teachers use different teaching methods to support both academic and personal growth. We believe that education should nurture a child’s imagination because imagination leads to innovation. That’s why, especially in Kindergarten, we encourage creative and play-based learning.
The safety and well-being of our students are our top priorities. We promote a healthy lifestyle and environmental awareness. We also understand that parents play the most important role in their child’s learning journey. I encourage all parents to be actively involved in their child’s education and build a strong partnership with teachers.
My door is always open if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas about your child’s education. Let’s work together to create the best future for our students.
Thank you for being a part of the St. Mary’s family!
