The philosophy of 'Jai Jagat' (Victory be to the world)
Under Mr Gandhi's inspiration and guidance, his school has
adopted Saint Vinoba Bhave’s philosophy of
‘Jai Jagat’
(Victory be to the world). Therefore, CMS education
revolves around the twin poles of Godliness and globalism. While
daily prayer-assemblies ensure that children are spiritually
nourished, globalism is inculcated in them through activities
such as Children's International Summer Village (CISV) camps,
International School to School Experience (ISSE) exchanges and
various other international events that CMS organizes every year
to provide an opportunity to children from different cultures
and nationalities of the world to come together and experience
global exposer and cross-cultural interaction.

School as the ‘Lighthouse of Society’
While the philosophy of Jai Jagat
is the guiding principle behind all school activities at CMS, Mr
Gandhi believes that the school must act as a Lighthouse of
Society, providing meaningful education, spiritual direction,
guidance and leadership to students, parents and the society in
general. He feels that school must also concern itself with the
affairs of the age which are plaguing the world today. He
believes that the purpose of today's education should be the
redemption of humankind from disunity and to bring unity of
hearts which requires purity of hearts and purity of motives.

All Religion Prayer and World Unity Prayer 
Mr Gandhi was the pioneer in organizing all religion-prayers
before the commencement of all school events. On these
occasions, students attired in traditional costumes render their
respective religions' prayers sequentially on one stage.
Particular care is taken to teach children to respect all
religions by educating them that the basic teachings of all
religions are the same. A unique feature of CMS is to organize
(i) All Religion Prayers (ii) World Unity Prayer Ceremony and
(iii) Children’s World Parliament, before the commencement of
all school events.
