AMG School, Bheemili was started in 1988, to provide free education to children from poor, socially and economically backward families from Scheduled caste/ tribe/ backward and other communities, in Bheemili and surrounding villages. The school was started with 20 children in a rented house.
Now, there are more than 1800 children in the school, which is located in own premises. These children come from different backgrounds viz., orphans, semi-orphans, children of leprosy patients, polio children, physically handicapped children, children from slums in Bheemili and poor children from villages. The children belong to all castes and religion. The only criterion for selection of children is poverty and poverty alone.
The school has classes from LKG to 10th grade. Initially, the school began as a Telugu Medium school. However, in order to equip the students, to meet the demands/ standards of employment, English Medium sections were started, with the aim of converting the school into a fully fledged English Medium school. The school now has English Medium classes from LKG to 10th grade. The Telugu medium sections are slowly closed.
AMG also started DayScholar programme for children from Bheemili town and nearby villages, to accommodate more children from distant villages in the hostels. This has facilitated enrolment of more children from Bheemili town, as they go back home in the evening. AMG has provided school buses to transport and to take students from home to School and back to school again, the students from and to their homes. In turn this also helped AMG to keep more students from distant villages in the hostel. This was necessary, as the campus was facing water and accommodation problem. Former students of this school are now working as Teachers, Staff in Government and Private Sector, Lawyers, Army soldiers, Doctors, Technicians etc.

AMG schools aim at the holistic development of a child i.e. development of the Body, Mind and Soul, in order to mould the personality of a child as a productive and constructive citizen of the country. Keeping this in view, ample opportunities are provided for games and sports and good food is provided for bodily development. Teaching is done on the best levels and children are encouraged to participate in different extracurricular activities like debate/ essay writing/ painting/ singing competitions, Sports & games etc., to instil in them the spirit of competitiveness. These activities help the child, to better utilize his Physical and mental faculties and brings out their latent talents.. Children in AMG schools are provided with reasonable amenities to make their stay comfortable and live in a decent and dignified environment.
It is the intention of Dr. John David and AMG that, in order to instill self-confidence and the needed initiative, these poor children should be treated on par with middle class family children. Without proper accommodation and facilities, they will not gain the required self-confidence. These children will not be able to compete with children from commercial schools; AMG should help these children to be fit to compete in the market, when they grow up. Otherwise, even after completing their education, they will not be successful. We thank the Donors for their love, concern and support for these children.
