In the years past, the ICSE and CBSE streams have held sway over other educational streams in India. With changes in the educational system and the rise and development of technology, the State Education Boards have quickly changed in the 1990s and in the 21st Century to meet the rapidly changing demands of society much quicker than the national boards on education. To be current in our education of the students at Samaritans, the schools follow the syllabi of the Tamil Nadu State Board of Education.

The positive impact of the state education system on our students is evident in their success in their courses, as well as their choice of careers in Information Technology, Medicine, Engineering and Computers, to name just a few.
