Principal
Guided by the global humanitarian vision of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the school fosters an environment where education goes beyond textbooks and examinations. SSA weaves intellect, compassion, and creativity together to make certain, the children grow into confident, kind, and capable individuals. As Principal Chanchala Yelamanchi articulates, “The purpose of education is not just to build intelligence, but to shape beautiful personalities grounded in values and filled with joy”.
Journey & Nurturing Minds through Holistic Education
Established in 2013, Sri Sri Academy, Hyderabad began with a small yet determined group of learners. Over the years, it has grown into a dynamic, institutional brand with more than 500 students, reflecting growth anchored in the ideals of the SSRVM Trust, a pan-India movement committed to nurturing cheerful and value-centered spirit. The founding philosophy of the school is greatly inspired by the belief that each child is inherently gifted with virtues like compassion, curiosity, and creativity.
Education at SSA focuses on awakening these qualities, enabling students to discover their inner potential and develop the emotional intelligence needed to navigate life with clarity and confidence. Every day at SSA starts with yoga, pranayama, meditation, Sudarshan Kriya, and mindful silence, cultivating emotional stability, enhanced concentration, resilience, and harmony within. The curriculum follows NCERT guidelines but is enriched with experiential learning, life skill programs, and creative exploration. Children engage in class presentations, research projects, and role plays that encourage teamwork and independent thinking.
Infrastructure, Faculty & Technology
The Sri Sri Academy, Hyderabad campus offers, a serene learning environment, nestled amidst nature, with infrastructure designed to support joyful and meaningful education. The school emphasizes
experiential and project-based learning across all subjects, complemented by research-driven class exhibitions and thematic learning festivals. Students engage in STEM, robotics, and hands-on science modules while life skills and leadership programs nurture communication, empathy, and teamwork. Creative expression is encouraged through dedicated labs for writing, public speaking, and performing arts. Integrated value education ensures that students reflect on real-life situations, fostering ethical awareness alongside academic growth. This balanced approach equips students with critical thinking, problem solving abilities, and confidence skills essential for thriving in an increasingly globalized and competitive world.
Faculty Excellence & Continuous Development
Teachers are the backbone of all that is achieved at Sri Sri Academy. Each facilitator undergoes training not just in pedagogy but also in value education and mindfulness practices. They regularly attend work teams, workshops, and 'Shraddha' courses to hone their skills and thus connect more deeply with the philosophy that guides the school.
Meditation and periods of silence are used for maintaining emotional equilibrium among teachers, helping them inspire students by example. This organization functions under the aegis of the SSRVM Trust, which envisions affordable and quality education for all. The Hyderabad branch upholds this mission through its inclusive and value-centered approach to learning.
SSA uses technology judiciously i.e.; every classroom is fitted with digital learning facilities, and the school integrates smart classrooms and digital learning tools to make lessons engaging and interactive, while promoting mindful and responsible use of technology. However, the school also lays more emphasis on digital discipline in teaching children the safe and judicious handling of technology.
