[edit] Affiliation
The school is affiliated to both the Matriculation Board of Tamil Nadu, and the State Board of Tamil Nadu. Matriculation Board syllabus is taught till X standard, and Tamil Nadu State Board syllabus is taught in XI and XII standard.
The XI standard Common Examination comes under the control of the Kancheepuram district Board of Education.
[edit] 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.
[edit] 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.
[edit] 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.
[edit] 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, thought these are never looked at with the slightest importance due to them.
Though such events are organized, not much of emphasis is provided to any of those co-curricular or extra curricular activities. Students are expected to mug and cram the text books 24*7 and this is rigorously emphasised for the X and XII Standards. So any person who is ready to do the same is most welcome to join the esteemed organization. Also, students are expected not to look for any extra knowledge than what is given in books and any such pursuit is looked upon as vain and with contempt both from the management and most of the faculties.
This school is managed by the Prince Shri Venkateswara Trust headed by Mr. Vasudevan. That man is the important reason for the development and fallback of the school.he is known for his arrogancy over students and monopoly over teachers.he cares for none beats the students like an angry demon on the pretext of shaping them a rubbish reason.but he is a great administrator.every one should admire on his administration.
About 4000 students study in this school which employs about 250 teachers.
The school has a great potential to be one of the most illuminous schools in chennai, but with a management (which actually is another name for the chairman itself) that focuses more on cramming and results, the school is a billion steps behiend what it actually could have been. Most of the alumni of the school have turned out to be top-level achievers, but the awe for the school has turned into a sort of cynical idol-worship, blinding themselves from accepting the bare essentials. Though in its presnt way the school already has a name for itself, it could go a lot further if it decides to change its methodology.
