A school recognised for something different.
Mount Zion Silver Jubilee School has come to be recognised as a very different school in terms of quality of education, discipline and emphasis on moral education.
The various curricular and co-curricular activities are selected and organised to aid in the harmonious development of the physical, mental and spiritual faculties of the pupils — thus setting Mount Zion apart from other schools.
How we teach
Everything on the timetable serves one of three faculties.
Physical, mental, spiritual. It is the test we apply when choosing what a child spends the day doing.
Move every day
Children develop strength, stamina and motor co-ordination by playing. School teams are trained by specialist coaches to compete at the highest levels.
Learn by doing
Active-learning techniques complement age-old teaching methods, so children grasp concepts quickly, remember better and stay creative.
Grow in character
Stress is placed on discipline, character moulding and personality development — the qualities families trust the Mount Zion name for.
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.Benjamin Franklin

How Mount Zion grew.
In 1988, Mount Zion School was founded by the Chairman Mr. Jayabarathan Chelliah and Mrs. Florence Jayabarathan in the town of Pudukkottai. Under their able leadership, it has since grown to be the largest school in Pudukkottai District.
In 2001, Mount Zion College of Engineering and Technology was started at Lena Vilakku. It is now the best engineering college in the region and is well known for its results and placements. In 2009, Mount Zion College of Nursing was started, following which the Mount Zion International School was started.
To commemorate 25 years of quality service in the field of education, it was decided that Mount Zion Silver Jubilee School be started at Thenkarai, Thiruppattur, to serve the needs of the public in the vicinity.
