Sishya School

Sishya School provides a nurturing and supportive environment for students to thrive academically and personally. The dedicated faculty goes above and beyond to ensure that each student receives individualized attention and support. The curriculum is comprehensive, incorporating both traditional subjects and innovative programs to foster critical thinking and creativity. The school also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, allowing students to explore their interests and talents outside the classroom. Overall, Sishya School is highly recommended for families seeking a well-rounded education for their children.

I have read the reviews. Some of them have been written by persons who were denied admission for their children. The demand is more than the capacity and so many will be turned away. Let me clarify a few points.

Both my children studied at Sishya between 1993 and 2001. Among their friends, only one was the child of a celebrity - the daughter of a well known Malayalam actor. The rest were all children of middle class parents.

I don't know what the admission process is today. However, Dr Thomas, son of the Founder Mr KI Thomas, has a soft spot for Defence officers and fast tracks their children's admission. Recently a friend of mine was at the school for admission of his granddaughter. He told me that, the wife of an Army officer came without appointment. Dr Thomas told the security to let her in and admitted her child. For the record, Dr Thomas was in the Indian Navy and is a gallantry award winner.

If you are unable to obtain admission, don't knock the school. Those who have children in the school may comment on the academic standards.

My daughter studied Class XI and XII in the Humanities stream. The best life-changing experience. Thanks to the High Quality Management and Staff. Students are treated with respect. The teaching methods are wholesome kindling their intellectual curiosity and love for life-long learning. The heritage feel of the school I felt as a parents is memorable. Well-defined academic calendar and planned events. Every event was relevant and was highly inspiring and elevating. Everything was planned and nothing ad hoc. Staff and students left school by 3pm. No unnecessary staying back. Only open house on just two Saturdays in the whole year. Neat 5 days working. A small canteen. Good playground. Reasonable fees. Contrary to the popular assumption, the school caters to middle class as well. There is both diversity and inclusion in the classrooms. Parents are well-informed and no scope for panic. Thank you Sishya

I used to go here as a kid, 2009-2014. Honestly, 2009-2014 were the best years of my life, and the best times in general. My time at this school was so nostalgic.

Sishya is a very well funded school; they've got a nice canteen (how's Rajesh doing btw?), a sizeable amount of classrooms and good grounds, and many events.

School camp 2013 is one of those things I'll never forget; watching Despicable Me 2 and Chennai Express on a big screen when they first came out.

They used to have a book fair, a fete, an annual dance that the kids used to prepare for (we used to love skipping classes for that) and some nice theatre productions. Eh, maybe I'm just taking away the kiddy stuff from there because I was a kid when I used to go there.

Anyway, so the teachers were strict (watch out!). If you misbehave, they send you out of class. Sometimes they yell at you. And I don't know if that was the norm in India. I'm pretty sure it was; may still be.
A lot of the people that used to go and still go to this school are filthy rich (we had occasional visits from Thalapathi and other famous people like Prakash Raj and all that). People used to queue up for autographs and stuff.

Anyway, enough of my rant. Sishya was my childhood.

Excellent Institution. One of the best in the Country! I am just a Commoner not a celebrity & My daughters study here. In terms of fees, Sishya-Adyar is the most reasonable (in Private Schools) in Chennai.

Five stars for good coaching in academic and athletic activities. But minority based education institution inclined to Christian ideology obviously. Those interested can send their kids. The big nuisance at this area is numerous cars loiter to drop and pick up children during school hours make residents of this area sic.
