Generations in Sivakasi have seen historical events unfold. From becoming the “Little Japan” to the second city with the most publishing press houses in the world, Sivakasi has a rich demeanour of achievements. Since the 15th century, life at Sivakasi has been close to a marvel of its own.
But today, the philanthropists, educationists, academicians and people of Sivakasi want to change the course of education for their future generations.
After almost 50 years since the first Lions Kindergarten School was established, the leaders are ready to bring evolution with their one-of-a-kind visionary project- Sivakasi Lions International Institutions.
This city is densely populated with employees of the firecracker, matchstick and press industries. These three big manufacturing industries employ over 8 lakh people. However, education only got the limelight when the leadership team of Sivakasi Lions School started to build one block after another with the help of generous donations from the club members & philanthropists.
Lions Club of Sivakasi were presented with land for establishing a dream school by KC.A.D. Chidambara Nadar and Gnanagiri Nadar of Coronation Litho Works, Sivakasi.

Balakrishna Nadar graciously donated its vast site of 1.4 acres at the excellent locality of Palaniandavarpuram to pursue the bigger goal of spacious premises for young minds.
Bharat Ratna K. Kamaraj, M.P., laid the foundation with the help of club members and forward-thinking education enthusiasts. The young kids of Sivakasi now had a future in their hometown.
The alumni of the prestigious institution are now renowned names everywhere in the world. However, they all had a humble beginning in the land of this academic marvel.
With great determination, affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education, this institute graduated its first All India Senior Secondary School batch in 1982.
From a day school at Palaniandavar Puram Colony, Sivakasi, it had become a Residential-cum-Day Boarding School with its senior classes from VI to XII shifted to a spacious 17.4-acre plot with separate hostels for Boys and Girls on Virudhunagar Road at the outskirt of Sivakasi.
