Moving-Up Awards 2025 (Second and Third Grade)
SMALLVILLE MONTESSORI students are known for their excellent academic performance.
SVM program is equally giving importance on both the academic and character formation of
the children. Along with the development of the intellect, the curriculum also focuses on
nurturing the creative personality of the child which brings to our full understanding of the
power of the unconscious in learning and of how emotional growth is linked to mental
growth. We are giving special awards based on Montessori virtues and values such
SIMPLICITY, MUSIC, ARTS & MOVEMENT, CREATIVITY, GENEROSITY, HUMILITY,
ORDERLINESS, SOCIAL GRACE & COURTESY, INDEPENDENCE, CHEERFULNESS &

ACADEMIC PROMOTION
Smallville Montessori fosters academic skills that are superior and advanced. The
development of each child is unique and distinctive. The school determines promotion of
each child to a higher and more complex level of learning based on his mastery of social &
scholastic skills and psychological readiness. This year we are promoting 2 students from
Cycle 1 to Cycle 3.
Promotion of students does not only involve excellence in the academic program but must
also demonstrate competence and readiness in other areas of learning like social,
emotional, psycho-motor and adaptive skills. The child must be utterly capable to adjust to
the next level to make the learning fun, non-threatening and spontaneous. Moving up to
