Ramana Vidyalaya

Ramana Vidyalaya has been educating children on Old Mahabalipuram Road in Sholinganallur, Chennai for over 20 years - a CBSE-affiliated school from Kindergarten through Grade 12, sponsored by the N.S. Educational Trust and guided by a founding belief that every child carries unique potential which, when fulfilled, makes the world a better place. The school has recently expanded with a new branch at Mahindra World City, bringing its deeply researched educational philosophy to a second campus. At its core, Ramana Vidyalaya frames its entire educational approach around Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory - identifying nine distinct types of intelligence and designing learning opportunities that allow every child to discover, explore, and develop what is genuinely exceptional about them, rather than measuring all students against a single academic benchmark.

Ramana Vidyalaya follows the CBSE curriculum and structures its academic programme across three deliberate developmental stages - KG to Grade 5, where learning happens through a wide variety of activities catering to all intelligence types; Grades 6 to 8, where students are given structured space to explore areas that interest them; and Grades 9 to 12, where the focus narrows to honing skills in the student’s identified areas of strength. This staged content framework runs alongside nine formally stated school values — Diversity, Equity, Excellence, Humility, Integrity, Joy, Lifelong Learning, Passion, Self-Confidence, Sustainability, and Wellness - values that the school applies to itself as an institution equally as it does to its students. A dedicated Fellowship Programme for teaching staff reflects the school’s institutional commitment to educator development alongside student development.

Student life at Ramana Vidyalaya is structured around self-directed engagement - Student Clubs, Student Leadership programmes, Student Publications, and Student-Led Initiatives give children at every level formal platforms to act on their interests and take ownership of their learning and community. A Wellness and Child Safety section within the school curriculum addresses emotional and physical wellbeing as formal academic concerns. The school also maintains a transparent commitment to inclusion: scholarships and financial aid are actively provided to ensure that a child’s socioeconomic background is never a barrier to receiving quality education at Ramana Vidyalaya.

Admissions to Ramana Vidyalaya for the 2026-27 session are currently open at both the Sholinganallur OMR campus and the new Mahindra World City branch.
