    Hi all,
    We are planning to move to Porur, Chennai from USA. We have 2 daughters going to 5th and 6th grade. We are looking for a good school preferably ICSE school system in and around Porur area. Can anyone help us with school selection and the school information? Your answers are deeply appreciated! Thanks, Shama.

    Dear Shamas,

    Welcome to Chennai. This is regarding your below query. before I answer, just wanted to check are you very particular in choosing an ICSE school ? While there are many ICSE Schools in Chennai, your location Porur would be a bottleneck as the kids would have to travel a long way. South Chennai has got a good number of ICSE Schools.

    Why dont you try a hand at La Chatelaine in Valasarawakam ? The

    La Chatelaine Residential Junior College Affiliated to CBSE, the school is renowned for its infrastructure and educational environment. The school has a record of producing good result.
    NO. 1 Arcot Road, Valasaravakkam, Chennai - 600 087 Tel:+(91)-(44)-24861984, 24860794 Fax:+(91)-(44)-24868658
    La Chatelaine Junior College, Chennai - 87, Tamil Nadu, India

    Shall discuss more on hearing from you.

    Sahana

    Hello Sahana,
    Thank you so much for your reply, now we realize that it is difficult to find a school in porur ,so we thought about other areas like Adyar ,RA puram and velachery. Also we are thinking about other school systems like Matriculation or CBSE but not sure if our kids can pick up. Our other constraint would be French for second language as other second languages (Tamil, Hindi) would be hard for our kids.
    We were able to find out some schools; can you tell us which ones are good and easy to get the admissions? And please include if I have missed any.

    1. Hari Shree, RA Puram (ICSE)
    2. St. Britto's Academy, Velachery (CBSE)
    3. Spartan Schools, Mogapeir (CBSE, Matric)
    4. Schram, Maduravoil (CBSE)
    5. Shisya (ICSE)
    6. Navadisha, Velachery (ICSE)
    7. Billabong, Neelankarai (ICSE)
    8. Good Earth, Tamabaram (ICSE)
    9. Bala Lok, Virugambakkam (Matric)

    Shams,

    Well, we have discussed the schools in the chennai schools subforum exhaustively. there are threads where second language and nri's have been analysed too.

    take your time and check the forum.
