Value Education:
The soul of all education is that the learner must learn to respect the value of life. This is achieved if through and apart from the subjects for a formal education, the learner sees the need of friendship, tolerance, sacrifice, integrity, hard work, self-control, emotional balance, and creative thinking to promote a successful career. The five human values are integrated into the very pattern of life that a student leads in the school and society. The ideal of ‘Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu’ is inculcated and the feeling that the supreme goal of education is self-illumination, is fostered.
Secular Education :
The Sarva Dharma Prayer and the Sarva Dharma Symbol of the school emblem speaks of the common goal of humanity. Religions may be different but the destination is one. A student well ground in the culture of his nation can grow into a full-fledged citizen endowed with the right understanding to love and appreciate the diversity of his mother land.
The blossoming of Human Excellence is achieved through the integration of the physical, the intellectual, the artistic and the spiritual aspect of human personality. Community interaction is an important aspect of Sri Sathya Sai education system, for education should serve the cause of humanity.

The school boasts of excellent physical education comprising of all ball games, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor games.

Regular exhibitions organized in the school promote creativity and inventiveness.
Leadership qualities are nourished by providing ample avenues for fostering this quality.

House captains and sub-captains develop the qualities of leadership by organizing extracurricular activities and conducting games, sports, competitions, etc.
Spiritual Education :
Spiritual development is fostered by participating in Bhajans, Veda Chanting, Stotra Chanting and engaging in meditation. The very atmosphere of the mandir and school, surcharged with devotional fervor, is most conducive to the spiritual development. The chanting of Vedic Manthras , stotras and prayers nourish the spiritual progress of the students. The regular talks given by eminent speakers in the human values classes and the discourses given by the divine Master Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba are a source of spiritual inspiration.
Free Education:
No fee of any kind is collected in the school. The facilities of the library, Computer Lab, Science Lab, games and sports are offered to the students completely free of cost.
Wisdom flashes like lightening amidst the clouds of the inner sky; one has to foster the flash, and preserve the light. That is the true sign of the ‘educated’ person.
