Description:
Abacus was set up to bring new thinking into the
life of a school, to try out new ideas in
education, and to evolve an intensely child
focused school.
At Abacus, we believe that the child will learn
spontaneously, as long as he is in an
environment consisting of learning opportunities
suited to his own specific abilities and
interests. Students are provided with an
environment that is just right for their
specific age group. They have the opportunity to
choose their work and whether to work
individually or in small groups. In a mixed age
group, children not only share their talent and
skills with others, but more importantly, direct
their own learning.
The School has classes up to X (grade 10) and is
affiliated to the Council for Indian School
Certificate Examinations, New Delhi.
The journey began with a dream, which included
having a place of our own. And this dream began
soon after Abacus was born. It began in RA Puram,
moved to Adyar, and came to fruition in
Perungudi. But like all journeys, it involved a
lot of hard work, lots of planning and, often, a
lot of frustration! It brought together the
efforts of countless parents, teachers and well
wishers. People for whom this was not just a
process of helping to put up a new school, but a
means of contributing to a more effective
educational system.
