A quaint little village Thandalam is home to our Sankara Matriculation School. It is the same holy village which gave us our revered saint Pujya Shankaracharya Sri Shankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamigal as an Acharya of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam. The school was established and is functioning with the benign blessings of His Holiness. From a small building with few classrooms and students, the school has seen a steady growth and has been a boon for the children of the neighbouring villages.
