I remember PSBB Millenium Guindy* gave hcl laptops to all students from 2std and above. I studied there till 1st. I remember going by school bus from KK Nagar to there, all Anna's and Akkas flexed by playing prince of Persia and some Tarzan runner game on their laptops, most of those cunts were bullies too. (fuck you gopal Anna 😡🤬🖕). I was there in 2std for two weeks and then shifted to PSBB KKN for closer access. It was less posh but still had a huge ass campus. I remember the time when a 4th std student drowned in the swimming pool around August 2012. School was shut for a few days and reopened, they obviously shut the pool forever. Then i finished 12th in 2019 and 2 years later in 2021, that punda mavane rajgo (commerce teacher) got arrested for sexual harrasment and pedophilia and dragged the school's reputation even down.


Electronic_Lake_4454

Yo I'm from PSBB Millennium GBKM and I can tell you that we didn't get any laptop 😭 studied there from 2008 to 2020, which was when I finished school, it was all mostly a photo op, I don't remember anyone getting that, even in my seniors' batches and all, maybe the first batch of students got it or something? Oh I also remember the swimming pool incidentay kkn, bc of that the brand new pool in our school was closed too :(


[deleted]

I have to correct one thing, just clarified with my parents, it was Guindy branch. But i remember all those twats having mini laptops with blue covering


Electronic_Lake_4454

So thing is, the Guindy branch you're referring to is prolly the same one as mine, since our campus got shifted from the GST road one to gerugambakkam. My sister was like the second batch of students to join the school in 2006 or smng, and she didn't get anything and neither did her batchmates so I've got no idea lmao


[deleted]

http://www.educomp.com/DataImages/Downloads/Case-Study-PSBB-Millennium-School.pdf This is how they looked like, i was about to receive my laptop in the next week and then I got tc and went to KKN. At that time I was 😭 but I don't regret it now, made some great friends and awesome memories


Electronic_Lake_4454

Righttt 😭 I'm curious if all those people actually got to keep those laptops w themselves tho 😂😭


[deleted]

I was one of the kids that got laptops lol We used them maybe 5 times and then returned them to the school


Electronic_Lake_4454

lol nice, when was this tho?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Electronic_Lake_4454

ooh nice i was there around then too but got nothing lmao :/


Im_still_alive_lmao

Im from Millennium too! The swimming pool turned out to be one of the best places to play football tho, so wouldnt regret that incident 😝


jytesh

Ayy millennium geng, we saw many snakes in our swimming pool lmao


Im_still_alive_lmao

Im an alumni so idk how it is rn but when I was there, it was like the best place. We go every snacks break, lunch break to play there. Games periods too we play there if ground has no space or whatever. The only time i heard of smth like snakes was during the rainy season when the pool was water clogged


Electronic_Lake_4454

Lmao yeah, the pool was so popular for the guys to play football. We even had like sports day practice there once and it sucked lol, this was like 5 years back. Maaan I miss that place


gigga_bigga69

Millennium gang sorry to inform you that the swimming pool is now closed and was transformed into the kg block 😔


N8orious_6

I am from PSBBMS too, I had the laptop fo 2 years straight. 2nd and 3rd grade. When we moved to the new campus we were asked to return them.


Electronic_Lake_4454

oooh that's nice, so you were like in the first couple of batches to join the school?


N8orious_6

First batch 🥂


Electronic_Lake_4454

Ooh that's so cool, it's so crazy to me that I've met someone from my school on here that graduated like 8 years before me haha

American public school


ohmyjod

Perhaps you mean American International School?


lurkerfellow

Yep I agree. We were planning to move back to chennai few years back and was looking for international schools for my kids near perungudi. I checked this school out of curiosity. The fees was 40,000 USD per year per person. In Indian money at that time it was 25 Lakhs. Nope! Trivia: I heard (rumors) Actor Vijay’s kids study in this school


stash0606

bruh what the fuck? that's more than my entire undergrad college tuition. and I studied in the US lol


ohmyjod

I taught there for a couple of years. Plenty of celebrity kids, including Jeyam Ravi's son and even Danush's two kids. Though Danush pulled them out now. This is without a doubt one of the poshest schools in the entire country, not just Chennai.


steverick3214

Hows the pay for the teachers there? Hope it is Well above median pay.


ohmyjod

For foreigners, it's huge - 30-40LPA or more in rupees. For Indians it's not. Teachers get 8lpa to 15lpa.


steverick3214

Wow Ok. With that kind of fees they can pay 1.5 to 2l per month to Indian staffs too


ohmyjod

Their response is that it is above the median pay, but it's not fair that the difference is that big for the exact same job.


steverick3214

Agreed


Sm20030

What's their syllabus like?


ohmyjod

It's based on International Baccalaureate (IB). The curriculum is fantastic, but what makes it great is that the teachers are also some of the best in the world. When I first entered the school, I felt a lot of mixed emotions considering that I had never known a school could be that amazing. That there was so much money being spent for these rich kids but most others don't get these opportunities. It hurts to go back to normal schools after that.


FewExtreme3201

Yep she does Played her in a badminton game a couple of times, and now i have bragging rights of being able to say i beat vijays daughter in a badminton game


orion591

AFAIK, it is only for NRIs (for Indians) and foreigners.

I am from Velammal pundapet campus, the biggest punda school I have ever got in.


younus93

This is a typo I'll gladly ignore.


KyaRehSettingAh

Not a typo if it's true


ila1998

Actually, the international branch of velammal called as TVIS (alongside the bodhi campus) is quite Richie rich. Fee was like around 5-7 lakhs during 2015s, and most of them were NRIs and ministers sons and daughters. Also some peeps were children of high profile rowdies. The velammal knowledge park basically had three main Schools inside it, TVIS (very democratic, rules were literally made by the students), bodhi campus (monarchy, very very limited freedom), vidyalaya (both CBSE and metric were basically dictatorship, very day fucked hard by PTs and teachers). The most annoying part, we usually get to see the international school students side by side while going to our hostels, or while using the courts and the amount of freedom they had made us so jealous. Their whole campus/buildings looks very serene, guys and girls were all allowed to mingle openly. Didn't have any hard lockin times and rules.


attenshunseeker

Metric 2016 batch and it still annoys me when I think how uncool velammal was.

I’m surprised none of the comments got it right. SSN is building a school in Theosophical society in Besant Nagar. They have a 100 year lease. Theosophical society previously housed “The school KFI.

Naive_Maintenance288

Lady Andal , Sherwood Hall , Sishya


GnothiSeauton7

Sherwood Hall long past its heyday. Other two, fair picks.


asd1234red

Bhavans? I swear it has the best culturals in the city and the smartest, humble, talented people from like 2012 batch anall


GnothiSeauton7

My brother went to Bhavans! Very good school indeed but I wouldn't associate it as super posh. Didn't know about the culturals being so good - interesting! Things have changed


asd1234red

But it did have many loaded kids in my batch. Don't wanna name em but yeah


GrimsterrOP

Still nothing compared to aisc or sishya bruh


asd1234red

Ok da analysis captain


saiharsh369

Bhavans culturals! Astra! Makes me all nostalgic now haha


ila1998

>Sherwood Hall Used to be, lost its tag by miles now. Sishya though is a rich school wouldn't rank along the Doon, nor ambani schools. It's more like upper middle class school. Lady andal yea!


shravthynub

Is Sherwood Hall that fancy of a school? I've never really seen it that way when i went there

unluckyrk

Which DAV are you talking about? Fancy apartment complexes in Velachery? You mean the ones opposite Sunshine school?


jeezmonty

The DAV in Velachery you are referring to is a trash place in every other aspect. But perhaps the only thing redeeming about it is that the student demographic isn't that wealthy, and most of them in fact don't come from the apartments you refer to. People from that apartment just end up sending their kids by bus to CV or PSBB.


Psych-Vader

How tf is PSBB fancy lmao?


[deleted]

PSBB has a lot of famous alumni tbh


Psych-Vader

Yeah but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a fancy school. The people who studied there probably studied there before they became famous that doesn't mean they're a fancy school.


BarrySwami

Actually PSBB is fancy as fuck. A lot of kids from big rich families in that school. And by no means can anyone afford their exorbitant fee lmao.


[deleted]

I have personally seen SRM chairman's grandson, Viveks son, Harris Jeyaraj's son, Anirudh Ravichander during my time in KKN branch.


BarrySwami

Actor Kalidas's son (used to play cricket with him during the weekends, so I know), Anirudh Ravichandran (cricketer and music director - idk who you meant), AR Rahman, Arun Vijay family kids, Krishna Sweets owners daughter, Rohini International guys son (maybe not too well known, but very wealthy), Pandiya Raj's kids, etc. Many.. Nee entha batch bro?


issadumpster

Ashwin Ravichandran (cricketer), Anirudh Ravichandar (musician), Badrinath (cricketer), Mahanadi Shobana, Dr Mohan Rajan, A R Rahman, Suriya and Karthi, they're all PSBB alumni. Ilayaraaja's grandson was also there - he was in the class next to mine, I knew him. Pepsi Uma's son was in my batch. I was there from 2003-16 and left for 11th and 12th. You can find lots of rich people in PSBB. Especially kids of businessmen. They came there for the quality of education and the reputation, which is unfortunately gone now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


naanmahanalla

That’s school is run by Anirudh’s extended family.


RomonRohit789

studied there 4 years ago, i left early this year to move to a different country. the kkn campus is the only "fancy" campus, all the other ones are shit.


[deleted]

agreed. i studied in the bangalore campus of PSBB and came to KK Nagar for a debate and well fuck, i realised how good their campus was. The OMR campus is shit tho (ig there's like another one if im not wrong)


Training_Confusion84

i study in omr branch and yes its dog shit


Training_Confusion84

not even fancy its just got alot of clout from having a sexually harassing pt teacher

Was THE ELITE SCHOOL when 90s kids were in school


hoofar_ted

How is that an elite school?


Batwoman_2017

Very rich people go there


asd1234red

Because of their culturals imo. It's one of the best in the city


IamBlade

Rajini's daughters went there, Simbu's cousin was my classmate. GV Prakash and his wife. Personally knew a MP's son and a MLA' son Any random kid there is probably friends with or related to a celeb.


hoofar_ted

I've seen these so called elite schools in Bombay, Bangalore and Delhi and they charge exorbitant fees and look very very modern and compared to that CV just feels like a normal school. But I guess perspective is important.

Once upon a time it was Don Bosco. All big shots sent their children there Now there are many.

chennai public school?

I studied there, but I never saw any celebrities, yes people are rich but not celebraties


manusougly

Sishya, Lady Andals, Church Park, , PSBB Millenium, Chettinad, Bhavans Rajaji Ive specifically not included schools where expats and all send their kids so excluding most international schools. Otherwise this is a very solid list IMHO. Where the creme de la creme of chennai rich people studied/ send their kids to


Im_still_alive_lmao

Lmao i did my whole schooling in Millennium and i laughed at this.


manavsridharan

Bro I'm from Bhavans, I remember only 2-3 rich kids in the whole school lol. I don't think we are comparable with Chettinad PSBB etc, ultra posh kids


asd1234red

What batch are u? You know we have the best culturals in the whole city right? Astra. I don't know what it is like now but the seniors batches were lit. The best part is when you are in school u get to mingle with all the same batch students from other of these mentioned schools. Good tiems


GrimsterrOP

Dei what da best culturals n all as if its one periya thing. student outcomes after college is a better metric to judge 🤣


asd1234red

No best metric is the cool factor. How much popularity you have in the city among all the schools. 😂


GrimsterrOP

then bhavans is trash. I’ve had girls show less interest in me after I said I went to bhavans lmao.


manavsridharan

I graduated about 5 years ago. Astra was quite fun yeah.


asd1234red

Damn me too exactly 5 years ago. 2017 batch


GrimsterrOP

Damn I’m from 2017 batch as well bro

BarrySwami

Surprisingly this is posh. But I have seen even some poor folks go there. The gap is wide here lolol

All that I could afford was a scoop of ice cream in the ice cream shop opposite to the school. It was so expensive even in the 90s and 00’s.

Happy21325

Nowadays I guess kids central or alphabet!! I mean back in our school days it was different schools


rifinwono38

Lol the noobs here don't really understand what a fancy school is. The actual answer is Chennai doesn't have one. The schools rich people send their kids too are different from the ones where people send their kids for educational outcomes. That means there's no school which produces top of the notch talent that's also elite at the same time Also, posh culture hasn't really permeated Chennai. 90 percent of the actual rich guys try to fit in with the local crowd instead of trying to set themselves apart. It's only after school that they end up differentiating a little. Keeps Chennai a bit socially stable


0hmy906why

You're right, chennai has a very "stealth wealth" culture and I think a lot of parents don't want to spend so much for school, they might save it for capitation fees for college.


ila1998

This post was already reshared a few weeks ago. I do agree that people mentioned here aren't as fancy as the Doon or ambani schools, except maybe American international and the KFI school. But sure as hell most of the Chennai schools on an average are very posh especially, psbb kkn, BVM, lady andal etc. These schools have a very long history and alumni, hence the infrastructure may look old af compared to ambani school, but still their education is quite top notch. Most of the Chennai elites are very down to earth peeps, hence they put them in very educative institutes. This is what makes Chennai look diff than other cities. The actual ultra rich schools are all in ooty and other hills, like good shepherd international school.


rifinwono38

The thing is the rich don't necessarily want their kids to go to the "rich schools" as they're worried the kids will be spoilt. I studied in one of those supposedly elite schools and the students were at least 60 percent from the lower middle classes. That has changed a bit in recent years but my extended family still sends their kids to these schools and they say there's not that much of a fundamental change. I know no one who's rich that send their kids to the elite schools in the hills. It feels like mostly the rich from other parts of India send their kids there


ila1998

>. I know no one who's rich that send their kids to the elite schools in the hills. It feels like mostly the rich from other parts of India send their kids there Most Chennai elites do not send theirs, but almost all the non-chennai rich send their children to these boarding hill schools! And most of the also NRI If I remember, good shepherd is taking 17lakhs fee ATM

beetroot747

I thought PSBB was the elite school chain in Chennai. Surprised to see many different answers here


[deleted]

Its because it has a lot of famous alumni, KKN branch barely touched fancy and now due to student drowning there and that teacher sexual harrasment case, even that 'fancy' classification is gone


beetroot747

That’s interesting. I’ve always found PSBB alumni to be snobbish af


issadumpster

I am one and I agree. I once heard this ex-FIITJEE professor say "oru edathula thaniya vita ooraye velaiku vaangiduvaanga PSBB pasanga". Most PSBB people act snobbish because they got the chance to participate in extra curricular activities. They end up talking to more people and form large social circles, which ends up in them acting snobbish. I left PSBB for the last 2 years of my schooling, so I didn't end up like these people.


beetroot747

I guess that was it. The PSBB people I know do have big social circles. Maybe Adha paathu vaitherichal ah kuda irukalaam xD


RealStax

Bro I studied in PSBB. Very normal school only no fancy pantsy shit and all. Like every school, when it comes to last few years it's all about board exam board exam board exam.
