The school was established in 1922 by Bishop Aloysius Benziger of the Diocese of Quilon and is now located on a 8.1-hectare (20-acre) campus. The school came under the Diocese of Kottar after its bifurcation on 26 May 1930 and is presently entrusted to the Jesuits for administrative management.
The Diocese had its association with the Jesuits since 1540’s when the dedicated Spanish Missionary St. Francis Xavier (1506-1552), co-founder of the Society of Jesus set his foot on the soil of Kottar about 1500 years after the advent of St. Thomas in 52 A.D.
