The students of the Amrita Vidyalayam schools have been trained in line with Amma’s vision of educational excellence combined with spiritual and emotional growth.

This year, the students of the Kerala Amrita Vidyalayams who have participated in the CBSE examinations have secured a brilliant and unblemished pass percentage
of 100% in the 10th Std CBSE examinations.

In today’s competitive and fast-moving world, educational qualifications are considered by many to only be the gateway to a lucrative career and a high-flying life. However, our beloved founder, Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, says that the purpose of education is not only to teach us skills and sciences to help us earn our living, but also to inculcate in us the deep-rooted wisdom and values that mature our personalities and bring a balance and equilibrium to our lives. Inspired by this vision, the educators of the Amrita Vidyalayams have tried to create a new generation of youth whose intellect is sharp, hearts are humble and whose hands are always ready to serve. We pray for the grace of the Almighty to realize this dream.
