About the School Minnapalayam Higher Secondary School has been serving the community with quality education for the past 41 years. With a dedicated team of 22 teachers and a total student strength of 257, the school continues to make remarkable strides in nurturing young minds. Leadership and Vision Today, under the leadership of Headmaster Mr. S. Venkadachalam, the school is taking new steps to equip students with essential skills for the future. We approached Mr. Venkadachalam with the idea of starting Spoken English classes, and he gave us his full support and encouragement. For the past three years, he has been continuously supporting us to run this program smoothly. About the Spoken English Program We started our Spoken English classes on 12th July 2023 to help students improve their fluency and communication skills in English — an important tool for their academic and career success. These classes are conducted after regular school hours, from 4:30 PM to 5:10 PM, ensuring that students can learn without affecting their regular studies. Currently, 37 students are receiving spoken English training through these special classes conducted by our dedicated teachers, Ms. Sandhiya and Ms. Kalaiselvi. With their patient guidance and practical teaching methods, students are learning to speak English more clearly and confidently. We are proud to share that this program is supported by our sponsor, Team Seattle, whose contribution makes it possible for us to run these classes free of cost and reach more students in need. Strong Community Support We are also grateful for the great support we receive from the Parent-Teacher Association, whose encouragement plays a vital role in making this program successful and sustainable. Looking Ahead At Minnapalayam Higher Secondary School, we believe that good communication opens doors to countless opportunities. We are proud to be part of this mission to empower young minds and create new possibilities for our students. A heartfelt thank you to Headmaster Mr. Venkadachalam, our dedicated teachers, and the Parent-Teacher Association for making this journey meaningful. Together, we are shaping a generation that can dream bigger and express themselves confidently in English!

When summer heat rises, most kids take a break. But at Annamalai Kottai, something special bloomed in May 2023.The Kanavu School of English brought a wave of fun and learning through its summer spoken English class at Kanavu Startup Village. Led by the energetic and kind-hearted Teacher Varshini, the program began on May 2nd and saw the participation of 20 enthusiastic children from the local community. These students didn’t just learn English they spoke, played, shared stories, and grew more confident with every session. What Made It Special? Unlike regular classes, this summer camp was filled with creative activities, like: Storytelling – Students narrated fun and meaningful stories, improving their vocabulary and stage confidence. Fun Games – Learning through laughter! Games encouraged teamwork, quick thinking, and English usage. “No Boil, No Oil” Snacks – A healthy approach to snacking kept the camp light and refreshing. The goal wasn’t just to teach English, but to help children express themselves freely in a supportive and joyful environment. And Teacher Varshini made sure every child felt seen, heard, and encouraged. A Small Beginning with a Big Impact This was more than just a summer camp. It was a spark of confidence, a space where young minds began believing, “Yes, I can speak in English too!” For many, it was their first step into the world of communication and what a joyful first step it was. We thank all the children, parents, and the Kanavu team for making this possible. The smiles we saw, the stories we heard, and the growth we witnessed these are the real rewards of Kanavu.
