An Odyssey of Excellence
Rooted in the 19th-century vision of St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara, KEEMS stands as a beacon of academic rigor and moral fortitude on the historic hillock of Mannanam.
The CMI Educational Legacy
Kuriakose Elias Group of English Medium Schools, established in 1991, is situated at the eastern side of the hillock of Mannanam, Kottayam. Mannanam is a holy place, where St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara started the CMI Congregation and his first Sanskrit school.
Managed by the CMI St. Joseph's Province, Thiruvananthapuram, our school honors the social reformist spirit of its patron. What began as an unaided English Medium School on July 16, 1991, has evolved into a premier educational hub affiliated with both ICSE and Kerala State boards.
The Architectural Grandeur of KEEMS
Nurturing over 3,000 scholars in state-of-the-art academic ecosystems.

Social Reformer

St. Chavara was a luminary of 19th-century Kerala, a social reformer who believed that literacy was the path to liberation. He mandated that every church should have a school (Pallikkoodam) attached to it, revolutionizing the social fabric of the state.
At KEEMS, we carry forward his vision of holistic development, integrating modern technology with traditional values to mold the visionary leaders of tomorrow.
