Proud to be part of this School.
Usually, the students make the school proud, this one, likes it the other way. The teachers ensure that the students and alumni be proud of where they did their schooling. Yes, i am talking about the one and only unique school in India - Sri Ahobila Math Oriental Higher secondary school.
Tradition should be a part of the learning and this fact is made to come true in this school. Be it, Learning sanskrit, veda parayanam, prabhandam classes, Veshti as the uniform... There is a touch of tradition & values in every thing that been done in the school.
Yes, you did read the uniform as Veshti[alias - Dhoti] in previous paragraph. For boys, the uniform is White dhoti and white shirt and for girls its half saree. Many a times, i have seen all my friends struggling to tie dhoti and without a belt, it will not be complete for them. I have laughed at them umpteen times due to the fact and behind every laughter, i remember how i struggled to tie dhoti when i first joined Ahobila math and today its a piece of cake, of course without a belt :-)
All students, who have worn the sacred thread [culture for hindu brahmin boys] should learn veda and there is no excuse to it. The XII students do have an exemption and they end up writing hell a lot of tests. Other students, end up learning prabandam [Naalayira Divya prabandham, is a holy script in praise of lord vishnu]. But this should never give a racist view about the school. Mind you, there are students from various cast & creed in the school.
The second language in the school is Sanskrit. So students end up learning the ancient language.
All these are add ons to the excellent results produced by the school every year. As one of the products, i can assure that the teachers are so dedicated that they strain really hard to ensure that every student shines with good scores in the exams. Almost, many in chennai know that a student of TMS sir, will surely be getting a 100% in mathematics and Sheshadri sir is the king of commerce & accounts. No kidding, try asking any student from state board in chennai.
All being said, this is a government aided school, which means you get all the above said features for almost free of cost!
Its not that i am advertising about my school. Just wanted to give an overview about the school, when i came across this article in rediff. Pretty interesting one.
For the love of sanskrit
