Lady Andal House of Children - Open school, T Nagar
The Madras Seva Sadan and its units were built on the Founder's ideals of leaving no child behind.
With the establishment of the Learning Centre in 1998, Lady Andal Venkatasubba Rao School, was among the first schools to provide dedicated infrastructure to help mainstream children with learning disabilities.
In 2005, the center expanded and established the Occupational Therapy Centre to support cognitive, gross and motor skills for children with mental and physical disabilities.
Today, over 400 students with special needs study across our institutions. Dedicated Learning Centers, trained staff and caregivers, as well as Occupational Therapy Centers are an integral part of all our campuses.
Moving froward:
In India, over 1.9 million children are still out of school (UDISE+ 2021–22), many of them with special needs or learning difficulties. Traditional classrooms aren’t built for neurodivergence.
Mrs.Krithika Kumar Quintal and Mrs.Tamara Ann Coelho, great-grandnieces of the founders, were inspired to provide children with a dedicated space that was equipped to nurture them and help them grow. With that goal in mind, they decided to reimagine the future of Education for Children with Special Needs.
The Lady Andal House of Children - Open School is set to be a 35,000 sq. ft. therapy-integrated special school in Chennai, offering education, therapy and vocational training to 150+ children with special needs, and offering all of these services, free of cost to the economically disadvantaged.
The Lady Andal House of Children believes that every child should have the opportunity to achieve greatness. In line with this vision, we adopted the NIOS curriculum to support sportspersons, who perform at the state, national and international level. The NIOS curriculum offers a flexible and effective learning platform tailored to individual needs.
We are in the process of bringing this vision to life and aim to be up and running at our new campus in T.Nagar in September 2025.
