Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Kunnumpuram started functioning in a rented building with about 200 students and 6 staff members in the year 1980. Under the able guidance of Smt. Indira Kurup the first principal, this institution grew both numerically and academically. Now we have in role 1210 students, 57 Teaching staff and 12 Non-teaching Staff. The C.E.C&C Trust purchased 60 cents of land which is inclusive of the school building in the year 1983. The school presented its first batch of ICSE students for the public examination in March 1991. The school got provisional affiliation to the council for the Indian school certification examinations. New Delhi on 9-10-1989 and permanent affiliation on 13-6-2000.
The council granted permission to start ISC(Std.XII) with science stream in 1997.The Academic performance has been excellent since then. Our plan for the year focused on providing a better environment for our staff and students with a view of raising the standard of education in the institution. The first priority was to overhaul the infrastructure of the school. Now we have well equipped Laboratories, Examination hall and a Library. The construction of a basket court and a nursery park is in progress.To make Teaching-Learning an enjoyable and a productive process, this year(2010-2011) we introduced Smart class Technology. Our student Mr. Babu of 1991 batch (ICSE) got selection for IAS during the year 2003. The School believes that every activity of the school should be value based and also strongly believes that the moral fiber should be intricately woven in to the curriculum fabric. We have been following a curriculum entitled as "Life Enrichment Programme" since 2005 in the KG Section. This scheme aims at the all round development of the child and bringing out the best of him. This is implemented by the teachers who are well trained under the guidance of Sri. V.V.Joseph(Director of Association of Learning Disabilities).
We frame co-curricular activities such as Quiz fest, Sports Fest, Science Fair, Painting and Drawing Competition, Youth Fest, Food fest , Teachers day, Onam Celebration, Independence Day etc with a view to expand Physical, Mental , Emotional, patriotic and cultural domains of students. Celebrations such as Gurupoornima , Mathrupooja etc help to boost up their spiritual expansion. In order to empower our teachers input sessions are being held from time to time. Students of our Vidyalaya put up an excellent performance in the seventh Inter Chinmaya Athletic meet and brought home the overall Championship for the second time. Students showcased their talents in Interchinmaya competitions such as Daksha- the cultural fest organised by Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Vazhuthacaud and Keraleeyam Quiz by Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Naruvamoodu. Abhilash.S of Std:XI won the Title 'Mr.Avatar' in the Daksha Fest. To get a thorough understanding of the sacred language Sanskrit "Samskrita Sambhashana Shibhiram" was arranged for three days in September. Chinmaya Dhara, our Alumini Association is always with us and render their helping hands in organising programmes like carrier guidance counseling. It is due to the untiring efforts and support of the management, dedicated Teachers, the Students and the Parents that within this short span of years, the school has already carved out a niche for itself. |
