Ready Set Go

Education has become narrow and limited in its implications.It needs a complete overhaul, not just some tinkering little changes at its margin. The most difficult challange is changing our own thinking. We must expect much more from human potiential, and we must provide the circumstances for every child to excel and become the best s/he can be. If we want a better future for our children, and a better world for all, education is the most important agenda of all agendas of a nation and the world.

HOW CIS IS DIFFERENT

CIS is built on years of international experience of Dr Sunita Gandhi and her family's know-how of running City Montessori School, Lucknow, world's largest school, a Guinness World Record Holder, and recipient UNESCO Prize for Peace Education.

Beyond getting an initial education in Lucknow, Sunita Gandhi qualified for the toughest scholarship at Cambridge University's Trinity College where she completed a doctorate in Physics. She then entered into world's most sought after jobs to work on educational policy at the World Bank in Washington, DC, where she was selected in a worldwide competition to become a Young Professional. This led her into management positions within the World Bank which she served for nearly 10 years.

Dr Gandhi has traveled to and studied education systems in 38 countries and started schools in the Czech Republic, Iceland and India. With a team of over 200 people working on four continents, Dr Gandhi has come up with City International Model of Schooling which is based on the four building blocks of education, and the principle of 'Compete With Yourself!'

Sunita Gandhi started City International Schools to enable her to implement a much wider agenda of reform in education than is possible in schools with already established norms.
