About Us

Welcome to Aksharam Montessori, where we are dedicated to shaping the future by nurturing the individuality and potential of each child. Our commitment to excellence is rooted in a profound understanding and wholehearted embrace of Montessori philosophy.

Founded with the mission of fostering holistic development, Aksharam Montessori focuses on guiding children on a transformative journey from 1.5 years to 6 years of age. We firmly believe that every child is endowed with unique capabilities, interests, and learning styles, deserving of utmost respect. At our institution, we champion the idea that each child should progress at their own pace, embracing the philosophy of self-directed learning.

One of our core principles is to provide children with a liberating degree of freedom to choose activities based on their interests. This autonomy not only cultivates a sense of independence but also ignites a passion for self-driven exploration and discovery. At Aksharam Montessori, we understand that a supportive and nurturing environment is key to unlocking a child's full potential.

Our unwavering commitment extends to creating a joyous learning atmosphere that underpins the overall growth of every child in our care. At Aksharam Montessori, we don't just educate; we inspire, empower, and guide each child towards a future where their unique talents and abilities can flourish. Join us on this transformative journey where education meets empowerment, and the seeds of a promising future are sown.

Mission

At Aksharam Montessori, we embark on a mission to deliver an authentic Montessori education that honours and nurtures the unique development of every child. We are dedicated to cultivating a child-centred learning experience that sparks a genuine love for exploration, encourages self-reliance, and champions holistic growth. Our commitment extends to fostering an inclusive environment where cultural diversity is celebrated, and mutual respect and care flourish. Join us in shaping a future where each child thrives as a confident, independent learner.

Vision

We envision a Montessori School where children joyfully embrace purposeful work, honing their unique strengths and interests. Our vision is to foster a community that sparks a profound curiosity, nurtures empathy, and instills a lifelong dedication to learning, equipping children for a successful and fulfilling life.

Our Story

In the heart of Kochi, where Soorya Krishna, a design graduate from NIFT and the creative force behind a clothing line, embarked on a heartfelt journey. Her pursuit of a holistic education for her 3-year-old revealed a gap in the educational landscape. Dissatisfied with the options available, she drew inspiration from her own family – her nephew and niece, beneficiaries of Montessori education.

Fueling her passion, Soorya enrolled in an AMI Assistant Teacher's training program, discovering alignment with her values in the Montessori approach. In May 2023, Aksharam Montessori was born a testament to Soorya's commitment to providing an enriching environment for children.

As a hands-on mother of two, Soorya's son is now a living example of Montessori's transformative impact. Her drive stems from a desire to offer a platform where every child in the city can naturally explore and learn, contributing to their holistic development.

Enter Swati Bhatnagar, an MSC Mathematics graduate from Delhi University with a rich tapestry of experiences across diverse cities and cultures. From content writing for US schools to academic counseling, Swati is driven by a deep passion to make a difference. Montessori education, she believes, is the key to shaping a responsible and compassionate generation.

For Swati, Aksharam Montessori is more than a school; it's an opportunity for the community to unite and nurture a future generation. Balancing her love for working with children, training adults, Bharatnatyam dancing, and Reiki practice, Swati envisions a school where compassion, responsibility, and lifelong learning take centre stage.

Together, Soorya and Swati are weaving a story of purpose, dedication, and the transformative power of Montessori education at Aksharam Montessori.
