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...

The students of EYP 2 celebrated Rakshabandhan, a festival that stands for love, care, and protection between siblings. At Ela Green School , this day provided an avenue for our young students to have a taste of what friendship, love, and unity are all about, as depicted in the occasion. A Heartwarming Celebration On that note, the EYP2 students marked Rakshabandhan by tying traditional Rakhis not only around the wrists of their siblings but also around those of their classmates. This is much more than just a family affair; it embraces friends and peers who are always there for each other. The site of little hands threading colorful treads brought home to me how deep yet pure these ties were between our children. Understanding the Significance of Rakshabandhan Before the celebrations kicked off, teachers narrated stories explaining the cultural importance of Rakshabandhan to kids. Through the storytelling method, they learned from history how the festival began and why it is celebrate...

  As the vibrant hues of autumn paint our surroundings and the sweet aroma of delicacies fills the air, we at  Ela Green School  prepare to embrace the joyous festival of Diwali. A celebration of light, hope, and new beginnings, Diwali holds a special significance in Indian culture. It’s a time for families to come together, illuminate their homes with lamps and diyas, exchange gifts, and savor the sweetness of life. At Ela Green School, Diwali is not just a day of festivities; it’s an opportunity to instill in our young minds the values that lie at the heart of this ancient tradition.

This year, our Diwali celebrations will be centered around the theme of ‘A Green Diwali for a Brighter Future.’ We aim to promote eco-friendly practices and encourage our students to be responsible citizens...
