Gardenia – perceived as a hybrid pearl of education, that blends Montessori Method with the Standard curriculum, is one of its kind, innovative initiative of the Vrusksha Group – the pioneers in establishing a chain of Authentic Montessori Schools across the state of Tamilnadu and Puducherry. Established with the perspective of making education affordable, enjoyable and adaptable in the life of children, Gardenia stands out as a happening place where Learning is a joy and Performance is supreme and Living is pleasant. Gardenia school as a unique educational icon symbolizes the Respect for children and Acknowledgement of their Intellectual Intelligence along with the nurturing of their independence. What is the fact behind the emergence of Gardenia? What makes Gardenia unique? There was this time when as pioneers of offering an authentic Montessori System, we were confronted with more parents clamoring for the want of the same stream of education in their locality. Unfortunately the Montessori system was a reality of the community schools that had a maximum strength of 30 children. As establishing more Montessori schools was a challenge during those days, we had to search for an alternative to satisfy the genuine desire of parents looking for a fruitful alternative to the existing education system whose flaws were exposed blatantly and without proper solutions to overcome. This exhaustive search culminated in the origin of GARDENIA – The Montessori Powered Board School after a meticulous research spanning a decade. The mission behind the emergence of Gardenia was to take the Montessori philosophy to a large number of children than that of the original Montessori School. The Gardenia school will follow the curriculum of the board it is aligned to but the methodology of delivering it to the children will have the Montessori trait.
