We often hear parents saying that their children can't pay attention in school, but what they don't realise is that the same kids spend hours studying the complex worlds of their latest video games. When education is 'presented' in a push model, it becomes the slowest, least effective and most disinteresting path to learning. Adhering to this method of mass production in an age of digital personalisation, makes learning dull and de-motivates the children. In this way schools become boring places and a disservice to our society.
Now, just for a moment, think what would happen if we were to turn this around. What if we question the traditional rules when we build schools of the future? What if our school makes children as excited about learning as they are about their videogames? What if children don't have to study to learn? What if learning is both relevant and useful?

Welcome to SHEMFORD, where children run to school not because they ‘have’ to, but because they 'want' to.

SHEMFORD aims to be India’s leading chain of schools with branches across the country and abroad, under the CBSE system with select branches offering options for the International Baccalaureate (IB). The vision of SHEMFORD extends beyond the narrow walls of classrooms and textbooks, as it aims to give the students a truly global perspective while preparing them for the careers of tomorrow. As a chain of schools located across the length and breadth of India, SHEMFORD will empower its vision with a unique educational programme EduMAX™- where learning comes alive. Designed by award winning educationists of India and creators of the SHEMROCK pre-school system, SHEMFORD’s educational programme, EduMAX™ is research based and forward looking. EduMAX™ has been designed as a unique educational system aimed at making learning interesting by making it more practical oriented-thus the motto “Where learning comes alive”. In addition, the focus at SHEMFORD will be on inculcating life skills such as reading, public speaking, making presentations, personal grooming, working in teams etc. with an emphasis on the application of the knowledge to everyday situations.
