St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara was born in Kerala, India on 10th February 1805. He led an extraordinary life of holiness and committed action for the transformation of the society. He died on 3rd January 1871 and was canonised by his Holiness Pope Francis on 23rd November 2014. St. Chavara was a visionary leader of the time who envisaged many plans for the spiritual and social progress of the Church and society. His educational contributions laid a strong foundation for a just society in which all human beings were worthy of erudition, justice, respect and dignity. He is credited with foundations of two congregations, indigenous printing press and publications, a Sanskrit School, schools adjoined to every parish church, boarding school attached to convents and initiation of women empowerment programmes. His educational reforms brought a new dawn in the educational history of the state of Kerala. St. Chavara’s education vision includes inclusion, expansion and equity, excellence, and a comprehensive outlook. St. Chavara School nurtures and holds close these ideals, learnings and teachings of St. Chavara in its execution and running.
School education lays the foundation for and is meant to shape the future of young students. This
goes a long way in ensuring stable, successful and satisfied lives of students in our country. St.
Chavara School acknowledges and promotes the importance and significance of various stages of
students’ lives while the overall upkeep of the school is planned to identify and nurture their
inherent talents and use them for the benefit of their self, community and culture.
Our school culture is built and fostered around giving back to society and building kind and
compassionate leaders for tomorrow. The school aims to further the objectives of establishing a just
and free society. The dignity of the human person is the central message of our mission on the
campus. This, we believe, can be achieved through two means, formation and information.
As a co-educational institution, the school promotes a wide range of curricular and co-curricular
activities to make learning a complete and fulfilling experience for the students. A well-trained
and experienced teaching staff, well-equipped laboratories and well stocked library, facilities for
sports and games, and interactive learning all together provide the requisite academic and value
based inputs which children require at various stages of their growth.
Each child gets personalized attention in the learning and growing process. This individual
attention ensures that all children make their progress together as a group of happy students.
We encourage excellence, inventive and innovative thinking, and we stand for the highest
standards of moral and spiritual values.
