History
Education ministry is a legacy we have inherited from the CMS missionaries. What we strive to do is the upliftment of the common people by providing them with better education. C.S.I. Madhya Kerala Diocese has special concern for the less privileged and the differently abled. It is the C.S.I. Madhya Kerala Diocese which took initiative in the education and rehabilitation of the hearing impaired children in Kerala. C.S.I. HSS For The Deaf which was originally started in Pallom in 1938 and then transferred to Thiruvalla is the first institution of this kind.

Madhya Kerala Diocese. This building was constructed with the aid received from Tear Fund, London. Sri. Mathew Philip was the first headmaster of the school.
