EDUCATION
Our institution established in 1959 is committed to implementing a robust academic strategy that emphasizes Access, Equity, Quality, and Accountability. We prioritize the holistic development of students, ensuring they receive a well-rounded education that nurtures their intellectual, physical, and creative potential.
SSM embraces the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 through its innovative five-fold education model, encompassing:
- Formal Education: Delivering quality education in primary and secondary levels.
- Tech Education: Integrating technology for digital literacy and creative learning.
- Vocational Education: Providing practical skills training for employability.
- Fine Arts: Encouraging artistic expression and cultural appreciation.
- Sports: Fostering physical development and teamwork.
This approach has yielded remarkable results in student development, creativity, and academic performance. However, keeping pace with the rapid advancements in technology presents a significant challenge, particularly within the context of SSM’s five-fold education model. Upgrading our existing technology infrastructure is crucial to maintain high-quality education and equip our students with the skills required for the future, while simultaneously supporting our commitment to holistic development through technology-driven creative expression and fine arts.
FORMAL EDUCATION
We provide formal education through a network of esteemed institutions, including Millennium English School, Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Junior Basic School, Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji High School & Junior College, iZEST Academy of Excellence, and Keshav Institute of Science and Technology. Our schools cater to students from Nursery to Undergraduate levels, offering instruction in Marathi, Semi-English, and English mediums. Affiliated with the State Government of Maharashtra, our SSC (Secondary School Certificate) and HSC (Higher Secondary Certificate) programs are recognized by the Latur Board. Additionally, our Bachelor of Business Administration in Agribusiness Management (BBA-ABM) program is affiliated with SRTM University, Nanded. To accommodate diverse needs, we offer both residential and day schooling options, supported by separate, modern, and hygienic hostels for boys and girls.
TECH EDUCATION
Our educational institutions prioritize tech education, equipping students with essential skills for the digital age. We offer state-of-the-art computer labs and optional foundational certification courses in programming languages such as Python, C, C++, and Java. To further support aspiring technologists, we provide academic scholarships for students pursuing advanced professional education in information technology. Additionally, our Atal Tinkering Lab(ATL) fosters innovation and creativity, serving as a hub for young scientific minds to experiment and develop groundbreaking products using cutting-edge technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
We recognize the critical role of vocational training in empowering students with practical skills for real-world applications. At the secondary level, students can opt for hands-on subjects such as Plumbing, Carpentry, Home Science, Kitchen Gardening, and Domestic Electrical Work. At the college level, we offer two-year specialized vocational courses in Electrical, Electronic, and Mechanical Technology. To bridge the gap between education and employment, we regularly organize on-campus placement drives in collaboration with reputed industries, ensuring aspiring students have access to meaningful career opportunities.
FINE ARTS
To foster holistic development, we have established the Saraswati School of Fine Arts. Through the “One Student-One Hobby-One Skill” program, students are encouraged to pursue a hobby and develop a skill alongside their academic curriculum. The school provides specialized training in Classical and Modern Dance, Vocal and Instrumental Music, Drawing and Painting, as well as Soft Skills and Spoken English, nurturing creativity and personal growth in every student.
SPORTS
Our institution embraces the “Catch Them Young” philosophy, actively promoting sports and athletic development. Through the Ekalavya Academy of Athletics and Sports, 40 children under 12 are selected annually for professional coaching under the Sagroli Sunrise Athletics Program. These young athletes receive residential schooling, boarding, and specialized training. Additionally, students are encouraged to pursue their passion for sports, choosing from disciplines like Mallakhamb, Gymnastics, Horse Riding, Swimming, Karate, Football, and Athletics. Dedicated coaches at the academy work diligently to refine and enhance their skills, fostering excellence and a love for sports.
