LADY ANDAL SCHOOL

What LADY ANDAL SCHOOL does

Lady Andal School is a private K-12 institution located in Chetput, Chennai, operating as a unit of the non-profit foundation The Madras Seva Sadan (founded 1928). It is an authorized IB World School delivering the full International Baccalaureate Continuum: the Primary Years Programme (Kindergarten to Grade 5), Middle Years Programme (Grade 6 to 10), and Diploma Programme (Grade 11 to 12), alongside a wholly-owned early-childhood subsidiary, LAHOC Activity Centre / Pre-KG, and an alternative NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) certification pathway.

The school's core technology is the IB inquiry-based curriculum framework, supported by infrastructure including fully equipped Chemistry, Biology, Physics, ICT, Design, and Mathematics laboratories, an 8,500+ volume Resource Centre library organized by Transdisciplinary themes, a 25-metre swimming facility, and a 1,192-seat Concert Hall. Curriculum management is delivered through third-party education platforms Faria and ToddleApp, and enrichment programming is sourced through partnerships with Goethe-Institut (German language and cultural exchange), Imageminds and Rainbowfish Studio (creative arts), Hotfut (sports), and Madras Seva Sadan Cricket Academy. The school maintains a stated 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio as its central personalization lever.

The revenue model is tuition-based and recurring, with fees not publicly disclosed. Distribution is single-campus and direct-to-consumer through online admission forms for K-12 and a separate application track for LAHOC Pre-KG. The target customer segments are Chennai-based school-age children seeking IB continuum education and their families, with a secondary emphasis on upper-secondary students receiving career and college counselling. Marketing relies on the school website, organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), published parent and student testimonials, and on-campus university and career events.
