Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School

The Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School was inspired and initiated by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The school was founded under his guidance on 15 June 1981.

"Character Development with Academic Excellence" has been the governing principle of all endeavours in the school. The school at every step, big or small, is guided by the comprehensive educational philosophy of Bhagawan Baba who emphatically advocates "Education should be for life; not for mere living"

This school is a fully residential English Medium school for boys and girls affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi [CBSE]. It consists of classes from I to XII and forms a vital educational limb of the Sri Sathya Sai University, Prasanthi Nilayam. The syllabi and textbooks followed at the school are those prescribed and recommended by the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi.

The school is located inside the 'Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Giri' complex of Prasanthi Nilayam and is housed in two magnificent buildings. The imposing building with the facade of enchanting Krishna dancing on the serpent Kāliyā houses the teaching and residential quarters for girls from class I to XII and for boys from class I to VII. This building is generally referred to as the Primary School. The palatial building with the sculptured Lord Dakshinamoorty presiding over it is the teaching block for boys from class VIII to XII. The towering edifice to its right is the hostel which lodges all the boys of the Higher Secondary School.

For the year 2014, it was ranked in the top 10 CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) schools of India.^[1]
