View LinkedInAurochild was founded by Jayavelu J with the belief that education is a responsibility entrusted to those willing to serve it with patience, discipline, and long-term vision. From its earliest days, the school was shaped not as an enterprise, but as a place where learning, character, and clarity could grow together.
Guided by inspiration from the educational thought of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, his leadership has remained focused on building an institution that endures beyond individuals. Over decades, he has stewarded the school through change while preserving its core values, ensuring that stability, integrity, and purpose remain at the heart of Aurochild's identity.
