Dear Friends,
Greetings and blessings from Mount Carmel Cbse School.
It is with immense joy and gratitude that we welcome you to the official website of Mount Carmel Cbse School, Shimoga. Our school with the motto, ‘For Excellence We Strive’ is dedicated to nurturing the potential of every child, inspired by the philosophy that ‘education is a process of drawing out human potentialities’. Educere (in Latin) means bringing out the best that already lies within. As Edith Stein aptly said, "A human person is capable of developing oneself to the fullest, and it is in the realization of moral excellence that human fulfillment is attained."
‘Mount Carmel’ takes its name from the beautiful mountain rising from the Mediterranean Sea, renowned for its verdant beauty and serene atmosphere. The word Carmel has its origins in Hebrew, where it is spelled as כַּרְמֶל (Karmel). It means garden, symbolizing growth, nurturing atmosphere, and abundance. In 2018, the Carmelites brought this legacy to Shimoga, establishing Mount Carmel Cbse School under the patronage of Our Lady of Mount Carmel to provide holistic education rooted in moral and ethical values.
At Mount Carmel Cbse School, children are like seeds planted in fertile soil. They are nurtured in an environment that is serene, value-driven, and growth-oriented. Here, every child is watered daily with lessons in integrity, righteousness, upright living, and discipline. Our goal is to help students blossom into individuals of moral, social, ethical, emotional, cultural, political beings, with environmental awareness, contributing positively to society.
Instilling ‘critical thinking’ is a cornerstone of our educational approach. Through seminars, workshops, and debates, students learn to discern between right and wrong, good and evil, enabling them to make wise and well-informed decisions for a brighter future.
Our greatest strength is our competent and dedicated team of educators, who embrace the responsibility of imparting value-based education through progressive methods. They inspire students to strive for academic excellence, moral uprightness, and social integration while celebrating the diversity of religion, race, caste, and creed.
Mount Carmel Cbse School is committed to providing an education that goes beyond academics. We believe in fostering a sense of discipline, compassion, integrity, and fortitude in every student. Our facilities reflect this commitment—a spacious playground for physical growth, karate classes for discipline and self-defense, dance and music for cultural enrichment, chess and abacus for cognitive development, and swimming and sports coaching for overall well-being. To support academic excellence and skill development, we offer a well-stocked library, a fully equipped science lab, a mathematics lab, a language lab, and a special skills lab. Keeping pace with evolving technology, our computer lab ensures students are prepared for a digitally-driven future. Classrooms are equipped with digital panels, enhancing the learning experience through interactive and innovative teaching methods. Value education classes aim at fostering a spiritual and moral sense among the students.
At Mount Carmel Cbse School, we strive to create an environment where every student can grow intellectually, morally, culturally, spiritually, and socially, emerging as confident and compassionate individuals ready to make a positive impact on the world.
As educators and mentors, we strive to be more than administrators; we aim to be trusted guides, empathetic counselors, and philanthropic leaders who walk hand-in-hand with students on their journey. Together, we nurture a future built on love, mutual respect, and a shared goal: to make this world a better place to live in.
Thank you for visiting us online. We look forward to your continued support and good wishes for the flourishing of Mount Carmel Cbse School.
God bless you!
