The core values we believe in and imbibe in our students are
Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara was born in 1805 at Kainakary, Kerala. After his early schooling and priestly studies, he was ordained priest in 1829. Father Kuriakose along with Fathers Thomas Palackal and Thomas Porukara founded the Indigenous Religious Congregation - Carmelites Mary Immaculate (CMI) on May 11, 1831. Brother Jacob Kanianthara, who in 1865 became the first professed brother co-operator in the congregation also co-operated with those three founding fathers from the beginning. Father Kuriakose was a pioneer in education and social work in the country. He was an illustrious scholar, educationist, prophetic writer, poet, multilinguist, social reformer and an organizer. Father Kuriakose was a man of deep prayer and he stayed in close communion with the Lord amidst his religious and social activities. So he was accepted as a man of God.
Father Kuriakose took a keen interest in starting educational Institutions attached to the Monasteries and churches. The idea paved the way for progressive change in the field of education in India. Education is one of the Charisms of the CMI Congregation. He died on 3 January 1871 and his mortal remains are kept in St. Joseph’s Monastery, Mannanam, Kerala. He was canonized on 23 November 2014 in Rome by Pope Francis. The CMI congregation inspired by the vision of St Kuriakose Elias Chavara renders its service in educational, social, health care and other sectors aiming at the integral development of the society.
Christ Public School aims at forming leaders who are intellectually competent, spiritually mature, morally upright, psychologically integrated, physically healthy and socially acceptable, who will champion the cause of justice, love, truth, and peace, by being ever open to changes.
Christ Public School aspires towards creating a just and humane society where the dignity of the human person is respected, unjust social structures are challenged, our cultural heritage of ahimsa, religious harmony, tolerance and national unity are upheld and the poor and the marginalized are specially taken care of.

Christ Public School’s ideal location, away from the hustle and bustle of city life, picturesque locality, lush green gardens, eco-friendly environment, state of the art infrastructure and a panel of distinguished knowledgeable teaching fraternity makes it a class on its own. The fact that all this comes at an affordable fee structure makes it a favorite among the parents seeking holistic quality education for their children.
This school is primarily meant to provide sound education based on religious and moral values to all irrespective of religion, caste or community, paying respect to their religious feelings and freedom of conscience.
The school aims not merely academic excellence, but also at achieving excellence in every aspect of educational activity – spiritual, cultural, social and physical – by developing their character and personality through freedom with responsibility, personal guidance and social awareness. We mold them into leaders in the intellectual and civic life of the country. Guided by the Christian principles and holding on to our motto of Wisdom and Excellence, we ignite a natural curiosity that children exhibit about themselves and their world, and train them to use their curiosity to foster positive attitudes to learning.
Our activities are geared toward inculcating in our staff members and students a deep-rooted faith in the divine which should be manifested in their social behaviour among peer groups, family members and society at large. Utmost importance is given to provide an inclusive environment for all while stressing the need for value systems like respect, compassion, sympathy, empathy and the feeling of gratitude towards every living thing on this earth.
Every young Christite walking out of the threshold of the school is sure to be a person of values, integrity, resilience and an ambassador of goodwill wherever he or she goes. It’s all possible because of the unwavering support and trust on us by the parents.
