Established in 1995, Thiruvalluvar Tamil School is a non-profit, charitable institution dedicated to the upliftment of marginalized and underserved communities in Karaikal.
Operated by the Thiruvalluvar Ethics Educational Service Trust, the school has been providing completely free, ethical, and value-based education to children from the most disadvantaged social and economic backgrounds.
We began with just 22 students in a rented house, driven by a commitment to ensure that no child is denied an education due to poverty or social discrimination. Today, we proudly serve 80 students—most of whom are first-generation learners from slum areas whose parents work as daily wage laborers, scavengers, and domestic workers.
What sets us apart is not just our commitment to academic instruction, but also our strong focus on nourishment, holistic development, and ethical grounding.
Every child enrolled receives:
✅ Free education with Tamil-medium instruction
✅ Daily nutritious mid-day meals and snacks
✅ Access to extracurricular activities like sports, art, music, and educational field trips
✅ A clean, safe, and joyful learning environment
✅ Personal attention and emotional support from a dedicated team of educators
To empower economically and socially underprivileged children through free, quality, and ethically-rooted education, enabling them to become self-reliant, responsible, and compassionate citizens of society.
- To eliminate educational disparity by offering free academic education to children from low-income families
To promote physical and mental well-being through nutritious meals and recreational activities
To instill strong moral values, discipline, and cultural awareness in students
To support co-curricular development through music, painting, dance, and sports
To foster joyful learning experiences and instill a lifelong love for learning
To ensure that no child drops out due to financial constraints or family hardships
