“I never teach my pupils, I only provide the conditions in which they can learn.”
(Albert Einstein)

One of the most difficult job today is to educate children for a future we do not know yet. The term “21st century learning” has become an integral part of educational thinking and planning. How should we respond to 21st century teaching and learning and how should one prepare children for future jobs when the future career does not even exist. EdTech world is actively searching for ways to prepare students for the coming days. One thing is sure the educational system is evolving faster than ever before with the onset of technology enabled learning. One can only imagine how fast the change would be and where will it lead us. Change is inevitable because we cannot adequately prepare students for the society that will exist tomorrow if we continue to form them for the society that existed yesterday.

QMS is a brand name for excellence in educating the girls. The girls entrusted to us are formed under the banner of Virtue and Knowledge with respect and upholding their individuality.

Our Lady Queen of the Missions School is an Anglo Indian School founded 74 years ago. We provide 21st century learning facilities, which enhances self-learning. We offer digital online E-learning platform for students to learn at their own comfort whenever they wish to learn no matter where they are. It is time for us to make learning a happy experience in school and at home school. The teachers become their mentors who help children to construct their own learning by providing an atmosphere, which encourages learning in their own Context, Creativity, Communication, Critical thinking and Collaboration. Coding is the buzzword of the day. We offer the facility of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Mathematics (STEAM) integrated experiential and research based learning for our children.

The Moto of our school is Virtue and Knowledge. The literal meaning of virtue is- specific manifestation of moral excellence or behaviour showing high moral standards. In a QMS’er the society should experience these characteristics at par excellence. The Foundress, of the institute of the SISTERS OF OUR LADY OF THE MISSIONS, Euphrasie Barbier wrote in one of her letters emphasising the importance of character building that our girls must become valiant women to serve the world and the humanity with a difference. Every QMS’er who passed through the portals of this Institution are expected to possess the nobility of character.

QMS is a brand name for excellence in educating the girls. The girls entrusted to us are formed under the banner of Virtue and Knowledge with respect and upholding their individuality. We believe that the holistic development begins with self-respect, self-recognition and self-discipline. The hallmark of QMS education is to live life with a difference. We appreciate the Support of the parents in our combined effort to make learning a joyful experience for our children.

Our present Superior General Sr. Josephine Kane quoted the famous Greek philosopher Socrates in one of her messages- "Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.” In this united endeavour of kindling the flames for the 21st century achievers, we wish good luck to our children and their mentors. Let us become carriers of peace in the midst of brokenness and justice for all forms of life as we walk humbly with our God on this planet. Let the banner of QMS fly high.
