Sir P.S. Sivaswami Ayyar is a great legend in the sphere of education in that he gave all that
    he had to promote, sustain and perpetuate a school for boys at Tirukattupalli, Thanjavur, and
    a girls school at Mylapore - Lady Sivaswami Ayyar Girls' Higher Secondary School.
   It is worth noting that he sold away his magnific palatial house to finance the Girls' School at
    Mylapore and lived in a rented house in the evening years of his life.

    On 7th February 1989, The National Boys' and Girls' Education Society celebrated
    the 125th year of his birth in a fitting manner. The Society also decided to set another milestone
    in his memory by starting a new school. The school is housed in 'Sudharma', a building that
    stands on Sundareswarar Street, off East Mada Street of Sri Kapaleeswarar Temple,Mylapore.
    This building was built to commemorate the birth centenary of the late Sir.P.S Sivaswami Ayyar.
 
    Sir Sivaswami Kalalaya is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).The
    medium of instruction is English. Hindi, Tamil, Sanskrit are the supportive oriental languages
    offered in the curriculum. Since CBSE is devoted to a three language formula, the students will
