MARY NILAYAM NURSERY SCHOOL, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM (1970)

Mary Nilayam Convent and Nursery School was opened on 26 April 1970 at the invitation of the late Bishop Bernard Pereira of Trivandrum. Fifty cents of land were purchased from Mr. George, which included a little cottage that served as the Sisters’ House, while a house with three acres of land bought from Mr. Krishnan Nair was used as the Nursery School. A low-cost Baker’s house with a seven-sided school room and a tiled roof served as the first nursery school. On 16th July 1970, the school shifted to Mr. Krishnan Nair’s house with 30 pupils on roll.

We draw our inspiration from Christ, who willed the total development of every person, as well as from our foundress, Mother Veronica. While our education is directed towards the total development of the person, we are primarily concerned with instilling spiritual values in those who come under our care. Thus, we help them take their rightful place as responsible citizens in society. Mother Mary is our Patroness, who inspires us to uphold the motto of our school.

Mary Nilayam Senior Secondary School has taken up the mission of imparting quality education to the common population while upholding moral values that keep society integrated, harmonious, and progressive.
