Schools in chennai

Thanks Shanthi,

If I go for admission for my kid in either of the DAVs in Velachery or Adambakkam, do u know what is the procedure? when will they give application forms for admission, fees structrues, etc. I need admission for U.K.G next year. Some people are telling it is hard to get into it other than Pre KG or LKG. Pls give ur suggestions.

You have not mentioned about how old your son is. then velachery has few creches.

HI hema,

I do not know what is the procedure. my cousin had not found it difficult to get admission into adambakkam.You want good results go ahead with adambakkam dav.

I have been told dav velachery is a better option than dav adambakkam.

My sugestions are that you call the office of the school directly.

Hi,

I am new to this group. We are moving to chennai next year.We started looking for schools for my son who will be going to 4th class next year.

I need some details about PSBB K.K Nagar.

Kanaka can you please help me in this.

The procedure for admission,2nd and 3rd languages and the timings.

I heard that the school hours are 9.00 to 12.30. Is it true?Its only half a day.

Thanks in advance friends.

hi Jyothi,
Vael's billabong and Hari shree vidhyala both are ICSE curriculum schools. Students from abroad are easily adaptable to this curriculum which was exclusively initiated for NRIs. they give much importance to communication and practical things than studying what other CBSE and matric schools in chennai do. vael's billabong is a n international school which is situated in neelankarai. very good atmosphere. hari shree vidhyala is chettinad group school located in raja annamali puram. many NRIs are studying in both the schools.. if u want any information further u can contact me. i will give the deatils what i know.

Hi Jothi,
I live in USA. We are planning to return to india this june. My house will be located in Thiruvanmaiyur.
Few questions on Billabong.
1. Is it CBSE/ICSE/Matric?
2. What is their fee structure (enrollment and term fees?)
3. Did you have to make a trip from the US to Chennai for registration? Some schools insist on seeing the children first.
4. Do they have any entrance exams?
5. What about the tamil language problem? My daughter is studying 3rd grade here in the US and I am in the same boat as you are. What is the school policy on this?

Kindly share the details, it will help us to do the necessary. The schools start in June 1st week. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hello Everyone!

Hi bagy,

Zion is a matriculation school in tambaram/selaiyur. brittos academy provides french as second language.arsha vidya mandir is not affliated to cbse, but is a good school. Brittos is near TNHB, velachery and arshad vidya mandir is also velachery. there are school buses for st.brittos. arshad vidya mandir i am not sure.

I am giving you the wikimapia marking for st.brittos. you can check it across selaiyur.

http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=12.993...18&l=0&m=a&v=2

The website address for the school is Welcome to St.Brittos Academy

Any other information i shall provide when u need.

There is one satya sai school in nemilichery, that u can ask about second language.
I think by 8th they dont mind if ur child wants to take french. Now i think the cbse board allows japanese also as second language. talk to the schools. some of the schools are very accomodative.
I would even suggest vaels billabong, but i dont think they still have 8th.
You have lot of other schools, like sankara, vivekananda also in the area.
I think you will get replies from other il's also.
