It offers education as per the Matriculation and Higher Secondary board or Tamil Nadu State Board syllabus and is affiliated to the Tamil Higher Secondary Board of Education.

The school has Hostel facilities for the students in the SBOA CBSE school campus.

History

The SBIOA Educational Trust was founded in 1978 by Mr. E.A.G. Moses who was the then General Secretary of the State Bank of India Officers Association (Chennai Circle). The SBOA School & Junior College affiliated to the CBSE board was then started for the benefit of the Bank's officers' children. In 1983, the SBIOA Educational Trust started a new school providing education in the Matriculation board syllabus also, in the same campus as the SBOA CBSE - and called it the SBOA Matriculation & Higher Secondary School.

Currently, the SBIOA runs the following schools in the South Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu: [http://sboaschoolkochi.com/trust.htm SBOA Public School, Kochi - SBIOA Information page] ]

* SBOA School and Junior College, Anna Nagar Western Extension, Chennai; affiliated to CBSE
* SBOA Matriculation and Higher Secondary School, Anna Nagar Western Extension, Chennai; affiliated to Matriculation and Tamil Nadu State Board
* SBIOA Model Matriculation and Higher Secondary School, Mugappair West, Chennai; affiliated to Matriculation and Tamil Nadu State Board
* SBIOA Public (Senior Secondary) School, Ernakulam, Kochi, Kerala; affiliated to CBSE

* SBOA Matriculation and Higher Secondary School, Madurai; affiliated to Matriculation and Tamil Nadu State Board
* SBIOA Matriculation School - Tiruchirapalli; affiliated to Matriculation and Tamil Nadu State Board.

As the demands for quality education in Anna Nagar grew, along-with the strength of the SBOA Matric school, a separate campus was required and hence the school was moved to its current location in 1994. The SBOA Matric is now functioning independently in a campus of its own right, away from the SBOA CBSE school. Later, the SBOA Matric procured and acquired the then defunct Sri Chakra School nearby and developed it into another campus - called the SBOA Matric Annexe.

Campuses

* SBOA Matric Main Campus: It houses classes from Standard IX to standard XII.
* SBOA Matric Annexe: It houses classes from Standard I to VIII, i.e., Primary and High school and also has a huge playground.

Co-curricular and extra-curricular activities

The SBOA Matric School gives equal emphasis on academics and personality development. The students have access to a wide range of activities in clubs such as:

* Bharat Scouts and Guides
* Road Safety Patrol
* National Cadet Corps
* Junior Red Cross
* School Band

Activities throughout the year are organized under the four houses named after the major kingdoms in Tamil history. Students are placed in one of the four houses, with the teachers to guide them. Hence, the staff members of each house play a major role in organising various inter-house competitions.

The four houses of the school are:
*Cheran
*Cholan
*Pandian
*Pallavan
