The Chennai Education Centre

We are a Krishnamurti Education Centre located in Chennai for the past 36 years. The centre began its activities with a small school, The School -KFI, which has grown to a full fledged school from class 1 up to class 12.

The centre has expanded its range of activities into rural health and education in both urban and rural contexts through its Outreach programmes. The centre is also in the process of establishing a very large educational campus -  Pathashaala – with residential facilities for students and staff.

The Chennai Education Centre

Pathashaala was born of the unsought opportunity when a large piece of land, 70 km from Chennai, was offered for purchase to KFI. A slow trajectory was accepted as the developmental journey of this project since there was no compulsion to expand. More details are available at the link History of Pathashaala – The Vallipuram project of The School.

This work of incubating the Pathashaala campus and school was an extraordinary effort of the staff of The School and both entities were under one administrative structure from 2001 to 2012.From the academic year 2012 Pathashaala campus is administratively independent of The School. This has been decided considering the challenges faced by The School to relocate and Pathashaala to develop suitably.
