Education is Nation Building activity.
A school is an organic system of transforming young children into responsible citizens. The objective of the transformation is to build a strong, vibrant Nation. It is the responsibility of the schools to make the future generations physically strong, intellectually sound, morally upright, spiritually awakened and to cultivate faith in the Nation's values and culture.
We are proud to say that, Our Vivekananda Educational Society is celebrating it’s Swarna Jayanthi this year. SKNS PMC VVJC is at present the second in series of Vidyalayas under the banner of VES. Our school set out its journey of education in 1975 with 35 students.
Today the school is running successfully with a strength of 2800 students and 110 Teaching Staff and 20 Non Teaching staff. We are blessed with a team of dedicated, well-qualified and experienced teaching and non – teaching staff who maintain high standard of education. The school is child- centered and aims at the all round development of the taught.
- Play way method and Non examination method are adapted at pre- primary level. The Shishuvatika (Aruna and Udhaya) approach is implemented to enable the taught to learn with enjoyment and at ease. It’s like a second home for kids.
A day in our Vidyalaya begins with Prayer, Panchangam , Amrithavachanam, Swamiji Sayings, News Headlines followed by Jenma Dina Celebration based on Tamizh month birth star. Thirukkural by parents correlated with stories from Ramayana and Mahabharatha is the highlight of our assembly.
