Olive International School, a state of the art educational institution has been established in Chennai since June 2004 to provide quality, formal education along with religious studies. Our aim is to provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment where children will recognize and achieve their fullest potential in academic, creative, personal, physical & morals – so that they can make their best contribution to the society. Also to ensure that the children leave school with a set of moral values viz, honesty, integrity, respect for others, tolerance, discipline and also while contributing to national pride.
It has been established to bring out the best in your child, to live in a sanctuary where they can learn, worship, play and grow, free of societal corruption, thus providing an ideal environment to enrich individual student’s potential and imbibe Islamic values at an early age.
To highlight the system of education and be on par with International standards, we have affiliated our academic curriculum to EDEXCEL for INTERNATIONAL GCSE & IAL Examinations, UK’s largest awarding organization.
