Does any one know about the education system & fees structures in Sharanalaya Montessori School in Nungambakkam?

Which Class are you looking at? I have a Daughter in Class 1, and a son in KG studying there. Decent School. Needs better infrastructure though.

I am not sure if you are referring to the teaching methodology or the course content. Montessori system is more a methodology than course content. I can tell you about my experience with the methodology.

The Montessori methodology is different from the CBSE teaching methodology. But the same difference is there for all streams , Matric, Stateboard etc. The Montesori methodology focuses on getting the child to understand the concept and the logic and arrive at the knowledge.

As opposed to the mainstream methodology of laying out the facts/concepts and asking the child to accept it at facevalue and and store the knowledge like a databank, without understanding the underlying logic.

Both the methodologies have their own merits and demerits. I think that a lot comes down to what your child is comfortable with and what you think will be best for your child.

To put it in very generalistic terms the Montessori system is like the American teaching system.

As to the fees, It costs approximately about Rs. 7000/- per semester for my son and about Rs. 8500/- for my daughter who is in Class 1.

Hope that this helps.

Glad I could help.
