Valathi Outreach Matriculation School
The School
The main Valathi school, with total strength of about 400 pupils, including boys & girls from K.G to X, started in 1992, and has been growing steadily. It has recently got its recognition from the government. We plan +1, +2, classes in future.
Our school children play an important role in the lives of their parents. Some from more primitive cultures are becoming more civilized and learn to keep their children in a more hygienic way. They are happy to see them growing best and smart in our school uniform and cherish the hope of their children becoming good and able citizens with a better future.
It is every working day a pleasant sight to see our children cheerily walking in strict discipline towards their respective classrooms after morning assembly.
Our VOMS students have computer studies, and we eagerly await links for classes on internet - which along with an increasing emphasis on a Montessori type approach could result in hitherto unhead of transformations in the educational world, and most certainly in our VOMS.
