Sri Sathya Sai Vidhya Vihar, Visakhapatnam also known as Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar High School, is an esteemed educational institution situated in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. The school's inception dates back to 1984, when it commenced its noble mission under the guidance of Sri Ajey Kallam, the district collector. Rooted in the teachings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, the school upholds the motto "Education is for life and not for living."

Nestled in Sector 8, MVP Colony, Visakhapatnam, the school covers an area of approximately 1.99 acres, featuring a circular building as its primary structure and an adjoining 'L' shaped block accommodating various facilities such as the multipurpose yoga hall, science labs, kindergarten classrooms, and the Vice Principal's office. The campus also houses a well-stocked library boasting over 8000 books, a reading room, an art room, and an indoor sports facility. The round building hosts the computer lab, Principal's office, visitors room, audiovisual room, and administrative office, while a prayer hall (mandir) supports religious and service activities.

Though not directly affiliated with Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, Prasanthi Nilayam, the school receives guidance from these revered quarters and operates under the State Trust of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organizations, headed by Sri S.G. Chalam. The school has witnessed a distinguished leadership lineage, with Mrs. Prameela Abburi serving as the first principal until 2000, succeeded by Mrs. A. Kausalya, who remains the incumbent Principal, supported by Mrs. Ch Varalakshmi as the Vice-Principal.

Following the CBSE system of education, Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar imparts knowledge from L.K.G through standard 10. Students are assigned to one of four houses, namely Sathya (Yellow - representing Truth), Dharma (Red - symbolizing Right Conduct), Shanthi (Blue - denoting Peace), and Prema (Green - representing Love). These houses compete against each other in various events, such as academics, sports, Saturday Special activities, marching, and discipline, vying for the prestigious 'Best House Award.'

Promoting Indian culture and heritage, the school established a heritage club named 'SHREYAS,' operating under the INTACH Visakhapatnam chapter. Among the school's engaging activities are the 'Heritage Walk' and musical sessions held in the well-equipped audio-visual room. Morning assemblies comprise talks by faculty and students, inclusive of Bhajan sessions on Thursdays, in alignment with the practices of Sri Sathya Sai Organizations.

Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar has received recognition and accolades for its commitment to heritage preservation, winning the INTACH 'Best School Heritage Award' for consecutive years 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. Additionally, the school excelled in the INTACH Heritage Quiz Award for 2006-2007 and achieved runners-up status in 2007-2008.

What sets the school apart from others is its strong emphasis on discipline and value-based education. The curriculum integrates Educare, a combination of worldly and spiritual knowledge, with a special subject called E.H.V (Education in Human Values) that imparts essential values like truth, love, peace, kindness, forgiveness, and forbearance for a fulfilled and happy life.

Moreover, Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar places significant importance on sports and games to encourage healthy competition, character development, and physical well-being. Exceptional students excelling in academics, sports, and co-curricular activities are rewarded with gold medals, trophies, and shields. The school's unique concept of service instills in students the value of rendering aid from a young age, engaging them in activities such as providing clothing and food to the underprivileged.
