"We believe that a child develops in a warm, free and friendly atmosphere and this has been one of our outstanding features"

The School originally began as a Ladies' Club - hence the name Mylapore Ladies Club (MLC) School Society, and first started as a kindergarten for the boys of the area. This was in February 1956. Mylapore School Society was then very different from what it is today.


The first president of the society was Sister Subbalakshmi, aided in every possible by Shri Subbaraya Aiyar, a  leading   lawyer   of   his   time,  and Mrs. Padmini Chari, Educationist. Thus the school was born on the 3rd February 1956, through the efforts of the three, and Vidya Mandir Matriculation School was formally opened in 1960.


The MLC School Society was registered in 1957, and the properties of the club were transferred to it. Sister R. S. Subbalakshmi and Mrs V K T Chari, were Founder President and Correspondent respectively, Shri. M Subbaraya Aiyar became the secretary of the school.
