PSSB SCHOOL DETAILS, PSSB SCHOOL ADMISSION


Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan (PSBB) is a group of schools located in Chennai, India, and now in Bangalore, India. Renowned for its academic excellence, given that about 40% of its students enter the IITs.

PSBB SCHOOL Branches:

  • Chennai
    • P.S.B.B K.K.Nagar Biggest branch of the PSBB group.
    • P.S.B.B Nungambakkam (PSBB Lake Area).
    • P.S.B.B T.P.Road (T Nagar), which is an annexe of Nungambakkam.
    • P.S.B.B Millennium School (Grand Southern Trunk Road, sister concern of PSBB and not directly associated with PSBB for finances and governance).
  • Bangalore
    • PSBB Learning Leadership Academy (Near Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore)
The PSBB School in Nungambakkam was established in 1958 by a group of housewives of the Nungambakkam Ladies Recreation Club. There were 13 students in a thatched shed on the terrace of the residence of the Dean and Director of the school, Dr. (Mrs.) Y.G. Parthasarathy.Today the school has six branches (including PSBB Millenium) with over 8000 students and 500 staff members.
One year after its inception, in 1959, the school shifted to a campus of its own at the present premises in Nungambakkam. It followed the Madras Matriculation System unit of Madras University. As the school grew in strength, the need to extend its branches arose and thus emerged the T.P.Road Junior School in 1971, as an annex to the school in Nungambakkam. In 1978, this school was affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi.
In 1976 another branch of the PSBB School, affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, was started in a residential area of K.K.Nagar with 5-acre (20,000 m2) surroundings. The K.K. Nagar Branch had four sections of every class from Pre-KG to Std. X. Today it has 5000 students with ten sections in each of these classes. Standards XI and XII have seven sections each. Mrs Chandra Srinivasan, a 40-year veteran of the school, is the Advisor for Academics for PSBB. PSBB was compelled to adopt the CBSE educational system in the 1970s and 1980s to satisfy the growing demands of the residents of the city.
PSBB has been visited by (former) President of India A.P.J.Abdul Kalam.
