Parent fit
Families comparing SMBS against other CBSE schools in Kozhikode usually weigh three things: how the school handles the transition between primary and senior school, the strength of the co-curricular calendar, and how transparent the admissions team is during the enquiry. If you're choosing between ICSE and IGCSE for the long-term exit, factor in the colleges your child is most likely to apply to — that decision often settles the board question more cleanly than a side-by-side feature comparison.

Food & dining
- details
- <p> The food offered is not only very tasty and healthy veg/ non vegetarian food but also basic etiquette at the dinner table is focussed on. This rounds-off life in the hostel to being a home away from home. Varieties of food is served for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Farm fresh organic vegetables from our vegetable garden and fresh milk from our dairy farm makes us different from other boarding schools. Special home-made snacks are served along with tea/coffee during evening.</p>
