Pathashaala, the youngest of the Krishnamurti schools, embarked on its journey in August, 2010. Nestled in Elimichampet village (80 km from Chennai), the school strives to bridge the urban and rural divide. It aims to foster individual autonomy and encourages intelligent coexistence with nature.

For its inception, Pathashaala drew on the thirty-six years of experience of The School KFI in the city of Chennai, practices in other KFI schools, and sensible approaches elsewhere. It began the first academic year in 2010-11 with a small group of middle school boys and girls.

Today, with the landscape transformed and with around 120 boys and girls, Pathashaala offers residential education to students from grades V-XII. For a comprehensive overview of Pathashaala, watch the Introduction Film, the Virtual Tour and the Presentation made for The Circle group.
