Top 5 Best schools Near Siruseri, Kelambakkam - OMR in Chennai

I have compiled the list of top 5 schools near Siruseri, Kelambakkam, OMR in Chennai and few notes about it. Hope this post will be surely useful for parents who are looking for their kids school admission.

Velammal Vidyashram Mambakkam:

Velammal Vidyashram has started functioning from the academic year 2014-15. It is located in the Vandalur-Kelambakkam main road. We have got admission for my kid in this school. The school is already having lot of branches. So many people in Tamil Nadu are aware of this school. Since Velammal schools are there in lot of locations in Tamil Nadu. I have lot of expectation from this school since Velammal schools well known for their standard.

When I asked few other friends, they said that the school used to have good academic performance and more importance will be given to studies. One of my neighbor told me that her son was very good and well disciplined when he was studying in one of the velammal schools. She told that the performance and perfection had dropped after changing the school due to their relocation.

Also, they carefully select teachers and give 2 months training to the Kinder garten teachers. The training is must for them. So, I feel assured of the quality of teachers.

The transportation fees is so high and we need to pay the one year fee in a single shot.

PSBB Siruseri(Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan):

PSBB has started its branch in Siruseri recently. It is located inside the L&T apartment near Siruseri IT park. So, preference is given to L&T residents. Very few seats are given for outsiders. There is lot of process involved and so many factors they consider for admission. They start the admission process late when compared to other schools. The results are also announced late. By that  time, other good schools close admissions. So, people residing outside L&T apartment have to think about other options as well. The school does not have transportation facility currently. You need to arrange transport on your own. As PSBB KK Nagar branch has good reputation, PSBB siruseri is also considered as a good school. The school fee is less and affordable when compared to other good CBSE schools near Kelambakkam.

Gateway International School, Padur - Chennai:

Gateway International School is one of the international schools located near Kelambakkam, Chennai. They are continually growing. The fee structure is on higher side. It has good transportation facility. They operate American Internation School and CBSE school in Padur. Most of the parents are satisfied with the school performance. If you are located near Kelambakkam, Siruseri and Navalur and looking for international school, you can consider this school as one of the options.

Maharishi Vidya Mandir, DABC Chennai:

This is the right school if you are looking for a good CBSE school with low fee structure comparatively. The other branches of this school has good academic records with top rankings in exams. Since Polacheri branch has started only few years before, we need to wait to know its academic performance. PSBB Siruseri is also having low fee structure but getting admission is very tough there. So, if you are a parent who is looking for good CBSE school with affordable fee structure and  living outside L&T Siruseri apartment, you can choose MVM polacheri. It has good transportation facilities. MVM is already well established school with lot of branches in whole India. The main problem is the location. It is located interior from the Vandalur-Kelambakkam main road and currently the location is having nothing other than the DABC apartment. Since school provides good bus facility, you can enquire more details in the school.

This branch is accessible for the people residing near Vandalur Kelambakkam road, Mambakkam, Medavakkam and its surroundings.

Hiranandani Upscale School(HUS), OMR, Chennai:

Hiranandani Upscale school is one of the best schools which offers international programme along with CBSE programme in OMR. They have started international programme from 2014 academic year. School is recognized by CBSE authority. They offer Pre KG to X std as of now. They have transportation facility. Fees is on higher side. Some of my friend's children are studying there. Few of them like the school very much. If you are a parent residing near kelambakkam and looking for international programme, you can go and check the school for more information. It is located inside the Hiranandani Upscale Apartment. Chances of getting admission is high.
