Branches

It was originally started in Nanganallur, and then a branch was opened in Madipakkam, both of which are well known suburbs in southern Chennai.

Nanganallur

The school at Nanganallur is the Head Office. It was started on June 12, 1978.The school buildings consist of an ANNEXE,the Higher Secondary block, the lower primary block and another large plot used as the playground as well as the school's parking lot. The school literally covers about a quarter of the land that's available on the college street its located on, and considering the speed at which acquisitions were once made, its not a distant future when the whole street belongs to the school itself.

Madipakkam

The school which is at Madipakkam is located on either sides of Kannagi street in Madipakkam-Puzhuthivakkam. The branch in Madipakkam was first started in Nehru Street, Madipakkam, before it was shifted to its current location on Kannagi street.Although this is a branch, more number of students study in the school in Madipakkam than the one in Nanganallur.

Co-curricular and extracurricular activities

The management of the school organises a students' exhibition called the Students Science, Arts and Crafts Exhibition once in 4 years. It is conducted every 4 years in a very grand manner. The students actively take part for the exhibition. The students are innovative and do more projects. The opening day of the exhibition is very grand followed by the event for 2 or 3 days and finally ends up with the prize distribution ceremony.

Sports competitions are held once in a year, which includes athletics, cricket, volleyball, Badminton etc. The Annual Day is the major event that is conducted every year. On this day, prizes are given away to students who excel in academics, X and XII standard Board examinations and sports. Also, fancy dress competitions, drama, dance and music competitions are held on this day.

Though such events are organized, the priority is on academics. This must explain the fantastic record the students of this institution have set in class X and XII board examinations.
