SRI SATHYA SAI HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL,

A SCHOOL WITH A DIFFERENCE

Even

as toppers and schools across the country celebrated the CBSE results

with sterling performances, the Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School,

established in 1982 by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, had a message for

all. The school at Prasanthi Gram recorded 100 percent results yet

again, in this year’s CBSE exams, with more than fifty percent of the

students securing over 90%, almost every student passed with

distinction.

C. Sai Krupa,

the school’s topper, scored 98.2 percent, Gokul Jayaram and Saru Trikha

came a close second with 96.4 percent, and the third place had L.

Naveen with 95.6 percent.

“It

is primarily the Grace and Blessings of our Dear Bhagawan that enabled

me to achieve this success. The institution’s dedicated teachers and

their continued support with a conducive environment for academic and

personality development was the key to my performance. Bhagawan’s

constant interest in our welfare and progress, His selfless love

towards our well being inspired me to do my very best as my offering to

Him. Where can we get such concern and kindness at no cost, only

wanting us to become good and responsible young boys and girls†said a

delighted Sai Krupa.

"This

is a residential school in a rural setting and our teachers are

available to students for around 10 hours every dayâ€, said Y.

Shivaramakrishnaiah, Principal. “We adopt a holistic approach to

education. Academics apart, sports, cultural and spiritual development,

and extracurricular activities are all given importance.â€

 

Presently enrolled with around 1,500 students and about 150 teaching

staff, this school mainly strives for bringing up Self-confidence with

faith in God along with best academic excellence. The teaching staff,

few of them are proud to join this institution after excelling in their

education by studying in this school, are determined to bring up their

wards too with better communication skills, affinity towards a

disciplined life, instilling in them the true value of selfless service

towards the society. They also teach better manners towards their

elders, which is mainly missing in many of the other high profile

schools.

While a lot of

emphasis is laid on the character development of the students, this is

in no way at the cost of academic excellence. The well qualified and

committed teachers leave no stone unturned to see to it that the

outstanding academic excellence record of the school is maintained year

after year. The school has been maintaining a 100% pass record with

around 90% of them with first division, consistently year after year

since its inception.

The

school is not only producing academic excellence, but also involves

their wards in rural development by taking them to rural areas and

involve them in rural development activities, health care to poor in

rural areas, so on and much more. ‘Grama Seva’ or serving in the

villages is an event which is a great enlivening experience for the

students. This is organized generally after the half-yearly

examinations in the months of Oct-Nov. Boys in groups go to different

villages in and around Puttaparthi and distribute clothes, food

packets, stationary items, etc. to the villagers. They get to see the

actual living condition of their fellow brothers and sisters and

experience the joy of serving the needy. Serving in the villages

sensitizes them to other people’s suffering and sows the seeds of love

and compassion, sympathy and service in their hearts.

 

In addition to the usual curriculum, a basic spiritual education course

drawn upon the universal Sai principles of Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi,

Prema and Ahimsa is instructed at the school not merely by precept but

more by practice. The school has a fostering climate based on the twin

foundations of love and discipline. It is suffused with prayers,

bhajans, stories and parables drawn from different faiths of the world.

 

 

Finally, why it attracts students even from the rural and lower income

groups is because the school never collects “FEES†from students,

making it a rare gem on the national school map of India.

 

The unique story the school tells, is the relevance of a total approach

to education. The promotion of a healthy body and a healthy mind in

children, with a strong base in human values and a spirit of service is

its goal. On the other hand, it also underscores the importance of

bringing education to all sections. This residential school offers high

standards in faculty, infrastructure and extracurricular development

programmes bringing education of the highest standards to the students.

 

To very many over the decades of existence it has been an enlightening

seat of learning shaping young lives. The education received with love

and free of charge, creates committed youngsters wanting to not just

rise and shine but also to serve and impact.
