‘Cambridge School’ emerged in Krishnagiri in1989 – with 46 students and 2 teachers in a rented house. This school was named after Cambridge University. There are three Cambridge Schools – 2 in Krishnagiri and another in a remote village near Kaveripattinam.
His educational models like plastic free lifestyle, practicing yoga and meditation in frequent intervals at school, compulsory consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables by all students, training children to grow their own crops and vegetables as a curriculum in school, teaching them the importance and nuances of politics, governance and money management were meticulously designed and practiced by him in his schools before it gained recognition and was adopted across a lot of schools in India. His school alumni are shinning as bright examples across the world in various fields as a testimony to the success of his institution.
Not having any formal education empowered him to design his own novel education system, which is now popularly followed across the length and breadth of India. Visual Education replaced conventional teaching in this school starting from 2005, when a theater was built and was inaugurated by Dada Saheb Phalke awardee K. Balachander. Space Education is a domain that is not much covered in the academic syllabi and with Mr. Sanath Kumar’s effort, many scientists from ISRO Bangalore including Dr. Mylswamy Annadurai, visited the school to taking classes for the children, which was something schools had never done before.
The schools are in the following location:
1. Cambridge Public e-School, Kaveripattinam
