ABOUT USThe Charter School

The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows

It is my proud privilege to head The Charter School, a prestigious institution under the Trivandrum International School Group of Institutions, leading a dedicated and creative team of teachers.

Our teachers inspire and motivate our students to think critically, put forth questions boldly, work as a team and create an environment where every student feels valued, empowered and prepared to forge enduring bonds with a strong value system.

Our primary focus is not only on developing core language, reading, and arithmetic skills but also on experiential learning with hands-on activities, art integrated activities, role play and team building opportunities.

At Charter, we prepare young learners to become responsible global citizens through meaningful social service initiatives to instil a strong sense of social obligation.

While our challenging and theme-based learning approach sets us apart, we believe in engaging students in real-world experiences to ignite their curiosity, and deepen their understanding. MUN’s, educational trips, STREAM Expo and LEARNING Expo provides opportunities to connect classroom concepts with practical knowledge.

The 3-deck Swimming pool, Tennis Court, Indoor Badminton court and outdoor and indoor Basketball courts and the Grass turf Football ground encourage the budding enthusiasts to explore their talents and take their sporting interests to the next level.

Our state-of-the-art 350-seat acoustically treated Performance Hall and 800-seat Multi-Purpose Hall provide spaces for creative expression, and that along with our cutting-edge kitchen and team of chefs equip us well to further scale up our events.

Parent involvement and support goes a long way in building a strong school community. My doors are open to any suggestions and clarifications which can help us come together to prepare our children to become agentic individuals who seek to explore the limitless possibilities as they move ahead in life.
