RECOGNITION FROM STATE & EXAM BOARDS
We are affiliated to Cambrdige Assessments International Education (CAIE) and also accredited by the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS).
INTERNATIONAL
We are affiliated to the assessment company Cambridge Assessments International Education (CAIE) formerly known as CIE and our registration number is IN842. It was issued on 02 Feb, 2012. We are a full IGCSE and A Levels School offering their curriculum from Grade 1 through Grade 12. Earlier, from 2007, we were preparing students for the IGCSE exams as private candidates. We were perhaps the first school in Chennai to offer the Cambridge curriculum. We were granted affiliation, however, only after moving to our current campus in Karanai.
STATE
We are required to apply for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to qualify for accreditation for syllabi not offered by the state of Tamil Nadu. Our initial application for this NOC was submitted in 2014. In 2018, the Chief Education Officer of our district recommended us for the NOC, and in May 2021, the office of the Commissioner of Education issued the certificate. However, the NOC issued was already 1 year and 4 months past its expiration date, with a validity that ended in January 2020. Since then, we have repeatedly reached out to the Department of Education, requesting both the renewal of the NOC and a meeting get an explanation regarding the issuance of an already-expired certificate. We have not heard back until today (29 Oct, 2024).
CENTRE
We are accredted to the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) and our accreditation number is F-23-1-1/2015/NIOS/SSS/Accr/5815. It was issued on 30 Nov, 2015. Through a number of correspondences, we demonstrated our candidature to be a Study Centre for the NIOS curriculum. Members of society and education committees from across India vouched for our work and the HRD Ministry accredited us on that basis and on the high recommendation of the State appointed officer for the NIOS.
