A Leading World School
In Sholinganallur, Akkarai, ECR, and OMR Regions of Chennai
At Sharanalaya, one of the top schools in Sholinganallur, we take a child-centric approach to education rooted in our vision to guide children with respect and value for holistic learning.
Since 2001, we have aimed to positively impact children’s lives by nurturing their independence, engagement, and active participation.
Accredited by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and the Indian Montessori Centre (IMC), we are committed to quality Montessori education.
We offer tailored Montessori environments for Primary (2-6 years), Lower Elementary (6-9 years), and Upper Elementary (9-12 years). We provide an IGCSE curriculum for students in Grades 7-10 (CIE – Cambridge Assessment International Education). We are also working towards acquiring the IBDP curriculum (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme) for Grades 11-12.
Founded by Mrs. G. Manju Venkat, her over 20 years of experience have endowed her with unparalleled expertise in Montessori education. Today, she harnesses this knowledge to help each child reach their potential, and her dedication continues to guide Sharanalaya’s journey. With the firm support of the Mallika Gunasekaran Educational and Charitable Trust, we are committed to fostering a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
Montessori Education: A Holistic Approach
Montessori is not just an education system; it's a philosophy and a way of life.
At Sharanalaya World School located in Sholinganallur – Akkarai Region, close to ECR and OMR, we believe in fostering children’s natural curiosity and love of learning. Our classrooms are designed to encourage hands-on exploration, critical thinking, and collaboration. Students of different ages work together, learning from and supporting each other. Whether it’s planting a garden, conducting science experiments, or pursuing their own interests, the children are active participants in their education.
Our teachers guide rather than direct, allowing students to learn at their own pace. The goal is not just to memorize facts, but to truly understand concepts and develop real-world skills. Social and emotional growth are also emphasized, as students gain confidence and learn to be independent thinkers.
Prominent figures like Google co-founder Larry Page credit their innovative thinking to the problem-solving abilities nurtured during their Montessori education. While we are proud of our graduates’ achievements, our main focus remains on helping each child discover their unique potential. Every student is encouraged and challenged in a warm, supportive environment.
We welcome you to visit our Akkarai, ECR, Shollinganallur area school and see our child-centered approach in action. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions and need to understand more about our Montessori program.
Legacy of Sharanalaya World School
Established in 2001, Sharanalaya World School embarked on a mission to redefine student-centric education. In our first year, we welcomed an enthusiastic cohort of learners, laying the groundwork for our evolution into a paragon of educational excellence. Over time, our unwavering commitment to the Montessori method led us to develop environments tailored to students of different ages.
We currently offer specialized Montessori classrooms for Primary (2-6 years), Lower Elementary (6-9 years), and Upper Elementary (9-12 years) students, enabling seamless transitions as they progress through the grades.
Addressing the need for a well-rounded curriculum for older students, we incorporated the ICSE and IGCSE* programs (Cambridge Assessment International Education) from Grades 7 to 10, integrating Montessori principles with standardized education. This provides our students with a holistic learning experience while also developing key skills for future academic success.
Innovation remains central to our ethos. We continuously integrate technology with traditional Montessori techniques, ensuring our students are at the forefront of educational advancements. Our alumni have risen to remarkable achievements across various fields, a testament to the strong foundation built during their time here.
With a storied history marked by milestones, our dedication to our foundational values is unwavering. We look forward to introducing the IBDP curriculum (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme) for Grades 11-12, furthering our commitment to world-class education. As we reflect on our rich past and chart our path forward, we remain devoted to nurturing young minds for generations to come.
