Exchange Programmes
CISV Mini Camps
Junior Model Workshops - Good before Smart
Social Service Projects
CISV (Children's International Summer Village) and ISSE (International School
to School Exchange) programmes are held regularly each year. Children from
10-12 countries participate in CISV camps from across the globe. They stay
together for a whole month to develop cross-cultural understanding and build
a lifetime of friendships. In ISSE, students of one country visit another country
for 3-4 weeks and attend classes in the host country. They stay with host
families and develop an understanding of that country's culture, education,
customs, etc.
Two-day CISV Mini Camps are routinely organised at CMS for children to learn
about the spirit of collaboration appreciating of differences and value of team
work. Children learn dances and songs of different countries and languages.
CMS consides it more important that a child be good than s/ he be smart.
Knowledge without character is harmful. Special workshops are held for moral
teaching in which virtues are taught through story telling, dramatisation,
poetry and music.
From tree planting to visiting sick patients and teaching deprived children to
read and write, CMS students put in effort to contribute to the well-being of
society.
