ELA Green School

  On 15th August 2025 the ELA Green School, Maraimalainagar’s premier IB institution, marked the 79th Independence Day of India in the spirit of grace and solidarity that has come to define its annual observance. The campus buzzed with song, dance, and the fragrance of marigold and jasmine wreaths, freshly woven by our children, as flags of every saffron, white, and green hue rippled in the emerging sunlight. The chief guest, Thiru. Aranga Girichandran, distinguished Ward 4 Councillor of the Maraimalai Nagar Municipality, stepped forward to hoist the tricolor. In a measured voice that cut clearly enough so the last row in the kindergarten enclosure could hear, he re-called the sacrifice of forgotten heroes and called each of our 1,300 budding citizens to see in midday markers and grades a smaller struggle representing the wider fight for dignity. Education, discipline, and a sense of shared custodianship, he said, are the continuing liberty for which every young citizen can, an...

  We at ELA Green School, one of the best international schools in Maraimalai Nagar , believe that each and every move made during a chess game and in life counts. Constructive thinking as well as strategic planning and patience are developed through the game of chess. We work on critical thinking and strategic planning through holistic education that fosters learning beyond textbook boundaries. Fostering Strategic Intelligence Through Chess Here at ELA Green School, the benefits of chess go beyond entertainment and recreation; it is integrated into our curricula to help children think. Playing chess helps improve memory, attention, problem solving, and reasoning abilities. Our students engage in friendly and competitive chess bouts where they perfect the art of checkmating, much like life, where every move made impacts the outcome.

Learning at Ela Green School is not limited to the classrooms, but a colorful depiction of real-life encounters and practical experiences. Recently, there was a student-led conference where students from grade EYP 3 showcased what they had learned through engaging activities and presentations. When looking back at their achievements, I remember being amused by the question, “Which sounds better: ‘You’re 5’5 ft’ or ‘You’re 20 Kitkats long?’” This single question captures the true nature of learning at Ela Green School, described as an expedition that involves exploration, inventiveness, and significant relationships. Exploring Measurement Creatively This student-led conference by Grade EYP 3 pupils showed how far they have gone in holistic schooling. The little ones did not only listen actively while being taught; rather, they took part fully in various activities that may involve standard and non-standard measurements as well. They used idiomatic expressions such as ‘you are 20 kitkat...
