- Later relocated to a 100 years old building at Banaswadi in 2003
- The school, was successful in getting a piece of land measuring around 15,000 sq ft thanks to the generous financial support from donors in 2007. Shri Jaigopal Garodia, a philanthropist of Chennai, generously donated for the construction of the school building which facilitated the completion of the 1st phase of construction of ground and half the 1st floor in May 2009.
