History
- A munificent donation of Five hundred thousand rupees made to the Shri Vallabhacharya Vidya Sabha, Madras by the philanthropic Dwaraka Doss brothers, the late Shri Jumna Doss and the late Shri Amichand Doss enabled it to found the Dwaraka Doss Goverdhan Doss Vaishnav College, Madras in June 1964. The phenomenal growth of this institution prompted the Sabha to think loudly of expanding its service to education at different levels. A Telugu businessman and great philanthropist, the late Shri Kola Perumal Chetty came forward with a generous donation of four hundred thousand rupees, including a 21-ground land adjoining the College, for starting a first grade English School with modern techniques of teaching blended perfectly with Hindu ethos and culture.
- The active involvement of the Sabha and the munificence of Chettigaru together triggered the starting of Kola Perumal Chetty Vaishnav School on 3 July 1972 with the blessings of His Holiness 108 Goswami Shri Brijratnalalji Maharaj. That day the school made a humble beginning by admitting students from LKG to V standard. Handsome donations periodically by Shri Kola Perumal Chetty totalled to more than a million rupees. This and the untiring efforts of the Managing body resulted in a three storey building within a year of its inception, paving the way for the steady growth of the school over the years. In fact, the school came to be styled as Kola Perumal Chetty Vaishnav Senior Secondary School in 1978 with the opening of Plus Two, affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi. Spacious class rooms, good furniture, well equipped laboratories and workshops, excellent playgrounds and other amenities has made this Institution enviable and most sought after by the parents and students alike.
- Realizing the difficulties of the tiny tots to reach the school, Shri Kola Perumal Chetty donated a school bus in 1974. Science and Library Block was constructed in 1977 to accommodate the laboratories, workshops and library. The top floor of the main building was built in 1979. To facilitate the smooth functioning of the school activities, an Open Air Theatre was commissioned in 1982. The office functioning in the first floor of the new administrative block built in 1984 was shifted to the ground floor in 2004 together with the Principal’s office and the Correspondent’s room. The Principal’s room on the first floor was converted to the Committee Members’ room. It was Shri Kola Perumal Chetty who was instrumental in starting a course in Computers in 1985. In 1986 a spacious canteen was added to provide hygienic snacks and drinks to appease the palate of the pupils.
- In 1994-95 a new building to house the book stall, canteen, Sanchaika Bank, NCC Room, three class rooms and the Computer lab was built. In May 2002 a lift was installed. It was inaugurated during the Tri-Decennial celebrations. A new school bus was bought in July 2002. Means of rain water harvesting, bus and cycle sheds were built and paver blocks laid round the compound.
- The School, affiliated to CBSE, imparts instruction in English medium only. Tamil and Hindi are taught from Std. I onwards. Sanskrit is introduced from Std. V.
- In 2003-2004, the administrative office was shifted to the ground floor and new air-conditioned rooms were provided. A spacious computer lab and maths lab were built on the second floor.
- In 2005, the ADC Auditorium was rebuilt with two green rooms, one classroom and an audio-visual room. The staff room was extended and separate cabins for each teacher were provided. An arch with the school name was built at the main entrance.

History
Started by Poojya Gurudev, Swami Chinmayanandaji, Chinmaya Vidyalayas are schools with a difference. Gurudev, who recognized the power of youth, believed that education should be holistic, His vision was translated in the form of various Chinmaya Vidyalayas across the country. The Vidyalayas function under the auspices of the Central Chinmaya Mission Trust (CCMT), Mumbai. The three Chinmaya Vidyalayas in Chennai are managed by management committees, the members of which are drawn from the trustees of Chennai, Madras Chinmaya Seva Trust and Chinmaya Mission, Chennai. Swami Tejomayanandaji, the spiritual head of Chinmaya Mission worldwide, is our patron.
The Vidyalayas follow the pattern of 10 + 2 and is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, Delhi. This co-educational English medium school follows the same syllabus and curriculum followed by Kendriya Vidyalyas
The Chinmaya Vidyalaya has as its emblem, the lamp and the, ‘Hamsa’ bird. In the light of the Scriptures (represented by the lamp) the discriminative power of the human intellect is to be developed (represented by the Hamsa bird). Vedic tradition describes Hamsa as a bird that can drink milk alone from a solution of milk and water. The human intellect with its discriminative power must be able to discriminate between spirit and matters and must come to enjoy the Spiritual Essence in the world of names and forms. Thus the emblem indicates that the function of the Mission is to help people in developing ethical values and cultivating in them a discriminative intellect
