“We highly value the league table of India’s Super 30 Budget Private Schools introduced by EducationWorld last year and are very grateful to your survey respondents for voting St. Mary’s #1 once again this year. I attribute the top rank to our dedicated focus on teacher training and well-being, and efforts to make the school the ‘best place to work’. These efforts have been rewarded with the school awarded highest scores on the parameters of faculty competence and academic reputation. Yet the secret of our success is our adaptability to change. We were one of the first budget schools to digitize teaching-learning, install interactive panels, introduce hybrid learning and make the campus wi-fi enabled. Our objective is to transform St. Mary’s into a future-ready school ready to adapt to change” — Bharat Malik, Chairman, St. Mary’s High School, Kalyan, Mumbai (1,641 students and 78 teachers) and Arya Global Group of Schools.
