About
P.S.Senior Secondary School, is situated in Mylapore, in a sprawling campus in the cultural hub of the city of Chennai. With a strength of 2700+ students, this co-educational institution affiliated to the CBSE, has been a hallmark of quality education and is known for personality development of its pupils since its inception in 1976. The school, which functions under the aegis of the century old P.S.Educational Society, reflects the rich legacy and the vision of its founder Sri Pennathur Subramania Iyer. We believe that human excellence is the true aim of education and therefore focus on not only academics but on activities that foster holistic development in children, as well. We give enormous importance to sports activities of our children for which the achievements on record stand testimony. We sensitise children to appreciate our rich culture by inculcating traditional values of our great nation and give significant emphasis on character building, an aspect which we believe is very essential in their formative years.Brahmasri Pennathur Subramanya Iyer was born in March, 1860 in a middle class family at Chittoor. He was a man of great courage, dedication and generosity. His graceful demeanour and elegance in manners made him stand out. In 1890, he was made the Commissioner for the Mylapore Division, a seat he retained till his death in 1901. It was at his instance and through his influence that the underground drainage works were done in the Mylapore Division, replacing the open drains that had existed before as a hotbed of infections of various kinds. He thought that the best use he could make of his wealth was to utilise it for the spread of knowledge and education of the upcoming generations. This led to the formation of the P. S. Charities which has expanded its service in the cause of education and stands glorious after 100+ years. He bequeathed all his property towards P.S. Charities.
