This I.C.S.E. school is located on the Chennai-Vizag highway. The campus of two monumental buildings, designed for a specific requirement to evoke the look of age-old Christian seats of knowledge of the Western world, is grouped into – Nursery-Primary and Higher secondary blocks along with the playground. The expansive nursery block faces North to capitalize on maximum exposure to the diffused North lighting for majority of the spaces, while the higher-secondary block faces NE, forming a parallel to the highway. Effective planning strategy incorporating courtyard, inset plaza and open spaces seamlessly into efficient circulation zoning and building orientations, creates wind and light catchers with naturally well-ventilated and lit environs aided by stack effect.

Well-equipped labs for Math, language and the sciences, music room and multi-purpose hall for arts development, dedicated kids and middle-school libraries apart from those for the older students with numerous stacks and a basketball court are some of the facilities provided to aid the best development of each child.The surfaces of dual tone form proud skewbald edifices, within which a naturally well-lit formal ambience prevails, matching the ethos of the St. Patrick’s group of institutions.
