Our Ethos

The Education Ethos Of Montfort Centenary Academy Matriculation Higher Secondary School

To keep yourself and your surroundings clean. It is there flection of your inner self.
To compete with yourself, and not with others, to achieve excellence, to stretch your potential to the maximum that you can. Remember, the sky is the limit; only you can limit yourself.
To pray to the Almighty to give you the strength to achieve the things you can and the serenity to accept what you cannot, and above all the wisdom to know the difference.
To struggle again stall odds; that greatness is not in achieving, the easy and the ordinary; it is in achieving the seemingly impossible the greatness lies; that history is made by the courageous who dare to question and to challenge and not following the ordinary and the easy.
Never to disown; hurt or oppress the poor, not to bend knees before insolent might.
That you learn to give generously till it pains; but let not your left hand know what your right hand gives. However much you may give, it is never more than you have received; for what you have received is infinite; life and love.
Not to waste your time; there is not enough time to learn, to love, to give, to achieve, to wonder, to leave behind a legacy, a minute lost is lost forever, it can never be retrieved, One life is not enough to unravel the mysteries of life and of this universe ‘‘One crowded hour of life is worth an age without a name”.
To appreciate the beauty and goodness in the universe; the beauty and goodness with in you and the beauty and goodness in others.
That a good deed sets in motion, a chain of other good deeds just as a warm smile will not fail to reflect another warm smile.
That every human being is basically good. If anyone is bad to you, it is not your fault; nor his fault, he may have been treated badly by others. May be your goodness to him will bring back his own goodness. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth has never brought anybody peace; but when one strikes you on one cheek, show him the other, to bring reconciliation, conversion, repentance. Unfortunately, the world today has forgotten this art and hence the unhappiness, the misery of the wars, the killings, the sufferings and the poverty of today’s world.
Never to curse darkness, but to light a candle instead: “How far does a little lamp throw its light in a dark night, so does a good deed in this naughty world.”
That this great universe and all it contains is the creation of the Almighty; and nothing happens in this universe without His knowledge and consent however unfathomable his ways may be. Hence, man should endeavour to work in tune with the Almighty and with nature. Do not pollute nature; but keep the ecological balance.
That nothing is absolute or final in life; that chance is an unavoidable law of growth; that we never possess the absolute truth. The Almighty is the only absolute truth.
That within you develop harmony of body and soul; nature and creativity; reason and desire
Not to be afraid to go against the current trends. It is better to be struggling with a hard task than being complacent over a small success. A defeat in the face of a humanly unsure mountable task is better than the satisfaction of a small achievement. The sacrifice of one’s own life for a worthy cause is better than a long life that no one reason to remember.
That each individual is unique and each must find his unique path in life for success and fulfillment. There is no challenge and therefore, no reward in the beaten path. Each one blossoms in his own uniqueness. Therefore, you decide, your destiny and you make it. Others, even Teachers and Parents are only helpers. Dare to take the path untraveled, for that will make all the difference in your life.
To be always on the search to discover, to explore possibilities and opportunities which are unlimited.
That it is possible to agree to disagree; that is alright to be different; not to feel guilty to assert oneself (one aggressively); it is healthy to look for one’s own happiness (though not at the expense of another).
Top lay well the game of life in the Pierre de Coubertin way; “the important thing is not to win but to take part just as the important thing in life is not triumph but to have fought well.
To be prepared to pay the price of greatness and achievement. Jesus Christ was crucified and killed before, he rose from the dead to eternal life. Socrates had to drink the cup of hemlock and die before, the world acknowledged his greatness. Siddharth had to renounce his palace, his Kingdom and his family and wander for years before, he became Buddha. The Mahatma faced bullets before, he became the “Father of the Nation”.
