About Us

“Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it”. Keeping this in mind, Lakshmi Garden Matriculation Higher Secondary School was started in the year 2007 in the heart of Vellore, to meet the growing need for an outstanding educational institution. What started as a humble beginning with a handful of students and teachers has today grown into a big family with more than 1500 students and 70 teachers.

Uniqueness of the school

With the motto ‘Learning for Life’, Lakshmi Garden aims to give each child an eagerness to learn not just while on campus, but all through life. Our main focus is our children. They are the ones that make a school. And so we aim to enable all children to have the opportunity to achieve their best academically, emotionally and socially. We believe in the power of a collaborative approach to education. In today’s highly individualistic society, we have lost sight of the benefits of working and learning from each other. At Lakshmi Garden, each child is imbibed with a sense of belonging to a greater community while their individual contributions are valued and cherished. We provide the child with a stimulating and safe environment to explore and express their ideas. The value of togetherness is taught without compromising on maintaining and respecting their individuality. Every student is unique in his or her strengths and challenges. Our dedicated staffs focus to keep this in mind when dealing with each child. We aim at keeping our children active, responsible and caring members not just of the school but the wider community.

Academic approach

We offer an excellent education in an outstanding environment with well trained and motivated teaching staff. Our teachers are highly dedicated and constantly working with the management to impart quality education to our students. We provide high-quality learning to enable children to acquire the skills, knowledge and concepts relevant to their future. Learning from outside the text book is encouraged. By following the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation pattern of education the student is evaluated on a range of activities in addition to summative assessments.  This includes projects, charts, model-making, games, science experiments, role plays, debates, group discussions among many others. This gives the student an opportunity to develop his or her creative and mental skills and thereby attain a holistic attitude and become responsible citizens. Team work and collaborative learning are actively encouraged. Students are taught to care, respect and support each other. Regular parent-teacher meetings are arranged for parents to keep a track of their child’s over-all development.

Student Life

John Dewey said that “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself”. Keeping in line with this and the motto ‘Learning for Life’, Lakshmi Garden aims at giving its students the best life while they are within her portals. They learn through a wide variety of activities, both curricular and extra-curricular, thus moulding them into smart young men and women. A variety of Language Development classes, music sessions, Cookery classes and other activity classes teach them the essentials of life and also bring out the best in them. Regular assemblies with meaningful messages not just motivate them but also teach them to be more disciplined in all walks of life.

The Inter House Activities play a big role in their student lives while at Lakshmi Garden. Irrespective of their class and gender, children are given equal opportunities to participate in a wide variety of activities ranging from singing, dancing, acting, debating, public speaking, drawing and creating. This not only brings out the talent in these blooming buds but also instill a sense of confidence in them. Through these activities, they learn the importance of team work and co-operation and it becomes a part of them. The annual Cultural programme and other celebrations give the children an opportunity to show-case their talents and also brings out a sense of pride for the school and its traditions.

The student body plays a role in building a bridge between the management and the students. While developing high-quality leadership skills, they also help in keeping their fellow students together.

Lakshmi Garden is proud to boast about district ranks and students who have stepped into prestigious institutions in the country and abroad. Our students have also excelled on the sports field and won many laurels at the district and national level and are currently aiming the international courts.

A child spends a good part of his or her growing years in school. The moulding received during these years is very crucial and takes them a long way. All this goes to show that this abode of education is not merely a school but a place where learning is for life and where learning is fun.

Career guidance programmes and counseling sessions (for Higher Secondary Students)

William Shakespeare said,

Life is a tale told by an idiot,

Full of sound and fury – signifying nothing

We beg to differ we feel everything that makes life worthwhile, comes from a good, positive attitude.

We realize that it is imperative for students to identify their aptitudes, interests, career goals and aspirations in order to make well – informed decisions concerning higher education and for this they have to be mentally strong & focused with a positive approach towards life.  Keeping in mind the need of the hour several counseling sessions are organised in the campus.

To keep the students abreast of the growing opportunities and avenues of employment Lakshmi Garden is partnership with the leading publishers of India – Rathna Sagar organizes Career Guidance Programme every year for the students of grades XI & XII and their parents.
