By the 1940s and 1950s, Sivakasi had grown into a thriving industrial town, known for its Match, Fireworks, and Printing industries. During this time, many industrialists sent their children to distant public schools in hill stations like Ooty, Kodaikanal, and Yercaud for an English-medium education. Recognizing the need for a local English-medium school, the Lions Club of Sivakasi, a group of dedicated community leaders, took the initiative to establish one in their town.

In 1968, the Lions Kindergarten School was founded on a 15-cent site generously offered by Messers K.C.A.D. Chidambara Nadar and Gnanagiri Nadar of Coronation Litho Works, Sivakasi. Over the years, the school grew steadily, first becoming the Lions Junior School and later evolving into the Sivakasi Lions Matriculation Higher Secondary School.

As the school expanded, additional space was needed. The Palaniandavar Youngmen’s Sports Club, including members such as Messers K.S.S.P. Arumugaswamy Nadar, Dr. P.C. Mathews, S.A.K. Arunachala Nadar, K.T.R. Thavasiappa Nadar, and K.P.S. Balakrishna Nadar, donated a 1.4-acre site in Palaniandavarpuram. On April 6, 1970, Bharat Ratna K. Kamaraj, M.P., who played a pivotal role in promoting education in Tamil Nadu, laid the foundation stone for a three-story school building funded by generous contributions from club members and other philanthropists.

The school initially affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), presenting its first batch for the All India Secondary School Examination in 1980 and the Senior Secondary Examination in 1982. In 1983, it transitioned to the Tamil Nadu Matriculation and Higher Secondary Board, with its first Matriculation and Higher Secondary batches graduating in 1983 and 1984, respectively.

A significant milestone came in the 2005-2006 academic year when the school expanded into a Residential-cum-Day Boarding School. Senior classes (VI to XII) were moved to a spacious 17.4-acre campus on Virudhunagar Road, complete with separate hostels for boys and girls, marking a new era in the school’s growth and development.

A new milestone begins in the 2024-25 academic year, with the launch of Sivakasi’s first international school (IB-PYP), marking a new era of global education for the community. Spanning an expansive 22,500 square feet across a 4/5-acre campus, the school offers a dynamic environment where young minds are encouraged to explore, innovate, and grow.
