Green Point Montessori

Green Point was established as the city’s first kindergarten in 1995 by Mr. & Mrs. Amalendu Banerjee. The formal education started from grade 1 and Mrs. Banerjee saw that the young children whiled their time away in the streets so she started the school as a place where they could learn something worthwhile and could still have some fun.
In 2012 when Dadaji and Aunty (as they were referred to fondly) decided to retire they looked for someone who could continue to care for their kids. The management of the school thus passed onto Mr. Ritesh Sharma and Mrs. Namita Sharma.
In the first year the new management observed the struggles and shortcomings of blackboard teaching and understood the needs of the young absorbent mind. An extensive research pointed towards the Montessori method of hands on and experiential learning whose roots are in naturalism and whose proponents have been Rabindranath Tagore and Aurobindo Ghosh.
It was a testing time when we introduced this method to the parents in the year 2013. They were sceptical and dubious of accepting this previously unheard-of new approach to child education. But as a couple of years passed by, they could see the miracle of Montessori method working on their child.
The students became fascinated with learning and all of them developed a sunny disposition and amazing confidence. They learned such complex concepts that were previously not even attempted to be taught to children so young. Maths became easy and books started talking. The effect of Montessori left everyone astonished.
The students who were in nursery in 2013 are currently studying in 7th grade and we saw for ourselves that Montessori indeed gave the children a strong foundation and a fun and rich childhood learning experience.
After the pre-primary section we switch to the CBSE curriculum in primary section and we assure that the transition is smooth for the child through our metamorphosis program.
We follow an extremely strict policy of a high student to teacher ratio and we take efforts to know what is going on in our child’s life and if it is conducive to their proper development and growth. We believe that the child, the parent, the school and the teachers are the different parts of the child’s education and all of them have to be nurtured and developed for all round growth of the child.
The school became CBSE affiliated till 10th standard in 2025 and the first batch of class 10th will attempt their board exams in the academic year 2027. Proposed affiliation till 12th standard is planned so that the class 10th can continue till 12th in our own school.
After 13 years of guidance under the exemplary management of Mr. & Mrs. Ritesh Sharma Green Point Montessori and School has become the pioneer in quality education in Itarsi. We stand true to our mission of ‘The best of education for the best of life’.
Our Pre-Primary program

Maria Montessori was born in 1870 in Italy. She was one of the first women to graduate from the University of Rome Medical School.

After her studies, she worked with mentally impaired children, observed them, and noticed that they can learn many things that seemed impossible if provided the right environment, practice, and materials.

Thanks to the results her educational approach was bringing, she was soon given the opportunity to test her methodology on healthy kids. The first Casa dei Bambini – The House of Children – was established in 1907 in Rome.
