[[File:Viviva.jpg|thumb|Vikasa vidya vanam - school campus at Poranki]]<br />
[[File:Lvvv Painting.jpg|thumb|where Living meets Learning]]<br />
After the deterioration of public school system from inadequate funding, the school system in [[Andhra Pradesh]] at present is dominated by the private schools. The common characters of these schools are, English being the medium of instruction, emphasis only on academic excellence, and often allowing [[corporal punishment]] to discipline the children.<br />
<br />
The philosophy of Vikasa vidya vanam is inspired from people like [[Jiddu Krishnamurti]] and Gijubhai Badheka and says that ''a school is the place for wholesome development of the child and it is best achieved in a pressure-free environment''. Medium of education at the primary level (Up to grade V) is the children's mother tongue ([[Telugu language|Telugu]]). The children are introduced early to English as a language, transitioning later in to the medium of instruction. Punishment in any form is non-existent here.<br />
<br />
Grades VI to XII are conducted in a fully residential campus under the name Living Vikasa Vidya Vanam in Akkineni Sudarshana Puram, Agiripalli, about 22&nbsp;km from the city of Vijayawada.<br />
