Philosophy

After the deterioration of public school system from inadequate funding, the school system in Andhra Pradesh at present is dominated by the private schools. The common characters of these schools are, English being the medium of instruction, emphasis only on academic excellence, and often allowing corporal punishment to discipline the children.

The philosophy of Vikasa vidya vanam is inspired from people like Jiddu Krishnamurti and Gijubhai Badheka and says that a school is the place for wholesome development of the child and it is best achieved in a pressure-free environment. Medium of education at the primary level (Up to grade V) is the children's mother tongue (Telugu). The children are introduced early to English as a language, transitioning later in to the medium of instruction. Punishment in any form is non-existent here.

Now a residential school has been started in Akkineni Sudarsanapuram for classes 7 to 12.

Where ‘WHOLESOME LIVING TAKES PRIORITY OVER LEARNING’.
