Education for Life. Education for Nation Building.
Origin of VES
Vivekananda Educational Society (VES), was founded as a duly registered society in the year 1972 by a group of eminent, public spirited and service minded persons who were closely associated with Vivekananda Rock Memorial at Kanyakumari, with the sole aim to provide Value Based, National, Man Making education by establishing schools in and around Chennai with public service as the motive.
Man-Making Education
At Vivekananda Educational Society, we believe that education is not merely the acquisition of knowledge, but the making of character and the development of the whole personality.
A school is an organic system of transforming young children into responsible citizens. The objective of the transformation is to build a strong, vibrant Nation. For a Nation to be strong and vibrant, its citizens should be physically strong, intellectually sound, morally upright, spiritually awakened and must have faith in the Nation's values and culture.
Vivekananda Educational Society strives to mould the character of every child under its care and to develop their whole personality in a harmonious and positive way, which alone will bring about a qualitative change in their lives. In short, Vivekananda Educational Society strives to educate students not just for a living, but for life itself.
