To be a beacon of Catholic education in Kerala — an institution that forms young people of profound faith, intellectual excellence, moral integrity, and compassionate hearts, who will transform society through service and leadership.
We envision a school where every child, regardless of background, discovers their God-given potential and becomes an agent of positive change in the world.
To provide a holistic, value-based Catholic education that nurtures the whole person — mind, heart, and spirit. We commit to academic excellence, character formation, and the development of leadership skills rooted in the Gospel values of love, justice, and service.
We partner with parents, the Church, and the community to create an environment where faith and learning flourish together.
Anna Muttathupadathu (1910–1946), known in religion as Alphonsa of the Immaculate Conception, was a Franciscan Clarist nun from Bharananganam, Kerala. She was the first person from India to be canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church (2008), and the first canonized woman of Indian origin.
Her life was marked by extraordinary suffering that she bore with remarkable faith and joy. Her spirituality — humble, simple, and wholly surrendered to God — continues to inspire our school's ethos of combining deep faith with genuine service to others.
