My journey: From the Baby League to Big Dreams

Football has been the heartbeat of my life since I was eight years old. What started as a childhood passion took a professional turn when I began playing in the Baby League, which officially kicked off my career on the pitch.

Training at the prestigious Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence (Alchemy) was transformative, and resulted in me representing Chennai FC in the Under-15 category. Today, my eyes are set on the ultimate goal: wearing the blue jersey for India or competing at the highest level in the Indian Super League (ISL).

My journey: From the Baby League to Big Dreams

Football has been the heartbeat of my life since I was eight years old. What started as a childhood passion took a professional turn when I began playing in the Baby League, which officially kicked off my career on the pitch.

Training at the prestigious Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence (Alchemy) was transformative, and resulted in me representing Chennai FC in the Under-15 category. Today, my eyes are set on the ultimate goal: wearing the blue jersey for India or competing at the highest level in the Indian Super League (ISL).

The Balancing Act: My Time at Lady Andal Open School

The biggest challenge for any aspiring athlete is the "choice" between the field and the classroom. However, thanks to Lady Andal Open School, I never had to choose.

The school didn't just tolerate my passion; they championed it. Their flexible approach allowed me to dedicate the hours needed for rigorous training without falling behind.

Lady Andal provided the perfect ecosystem for me to flourish. They understood the demands of a professional sports schedule, giving me the breathing room to focus on my matches while ensuring I stayed on track academically.

Because of their unique support system, I didn't just "get by"—I excelled. I am incredibly proud to have scored excellently in my exams, a feat that would have been much harder without a school that truly believes in holistic development.

As I prepare to step into college, I do so with a heart full of hope and a solid foundation. Lady Andal Open School gave me the wings to fly both on the field and in my studies, and I am ready to see where this next chapter takes me.

    Tanvi Adige

    As a Class 11 student at Lady Andal Open School (NIOS Coaching Centre), I have found the perfect environment to balance my academic journey with my lifelong passion for Bharathanatyam. Since the age of eight, I have been training in the Melattur style under the guidance of Dr. Smt. Sheela Unnikrishnan at Sridevi Nrithyalaya, and Lady Andal Open School NIOS Coaching Centre has been the cornerstone of my ability to pursue this art form at a professional level.

    While I am a regular performer at Sridevi Nrithyalaya and frequently appear on their YouTube channel, one of my most cherished milestones was performing at the prestigious Raj Bhavan, Chennai, for the ministers of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.

    Being part of the NIOS Coaching Centre stream allows me the flexibility to manage a rigorous performance schedule. My teachers are remarkably understanding; whenever I miss classes for a performance, they go above and beyond to re-teach the lessons. I am deeply grateful to be part of an institution that doesn't just teach from books, but actively nurtures the individual talents of its students.

    Sundari Ganapathy

    Director & Co-Founder, SpiralUp Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
    Founder & Director, I Am An Author Publishing

    As the mother of Adithya, who studied at the Lady Andal House of Children from Class IX to XII—including during the challenging COVID years—I am deeply grateful for the nurturing environment the school provided. Adithya was encouraged to grow in his strengths, especially through his love for music. Singing the school’s prayer over the microphone became a deeply empowering experience for him, helping him find his identity and confidence.

    Children with special needs often struggle to fit into a world not built for them, even in inclusive schools. At Lady Andal, education is blended with empathy. The teachers, led by Mangala Ma’am, deeply understood the emotional and behavioral challenges these children face and supported them with patience and love.

    Today, Adithya has completed the Foundation Year in Music at AR Rahman’s KM College of Music and Technology and is progressing into his second year. We owe much of this journey to the unwavering support he received at Lady Andal.
