Mala strongly believes, “We are preparing a passionate flight for every child on the wings of holy courage & responsibility, fueled by rational beliefs & undaunted confidence.”

As per the literal connotation of ‘Sweven’, the ‘dream/vision’ of the Sweven Montessori is driving it to present a differential attribute by promoting dynamic learning.
