We are proud of our History!


Adventist Education has come a long way since 1853 when the first Adventist school was opened in Buck's Bridge, New York. Today you'll find Adventist schools in nearly 150 countries. 85,000 teachers, 1.5 million students, 7,500 schools—the Adventist school system is one of the largest Christian educational systems in the world.
SDA School Kottarakara has also been part of this legacy since its establishment as a church school in 1920. It was recognized in June 1956. We are proud to say that the school has touched and built hundreds of thousands of lives and scripted their success stories over the years in versatile styles. It has an alma mater spanning the entire globe, and the sparkle in the eyes of our alumni when they talk about their school is indescribable.
Here we are inviting you to partner with us in this world where your children will grow to become individuals that will stand out to be a light to a world in darkness. Wishing you heavens choicest blessings. And thank you for putting your trust and faith in us.
The Seventh-Day Adventist School at Karickam is a Pioneering institution with a History of 97 years presence in India. It is located at one of the hills in a town called Kottarakara in the state of Kerala commonly known as God’s own country. The institution was established by our organization's founding fathers that had their vision to bring and share the Good news of the gospel to the unknown world. This institution has catered to the needs of many students and has been a source of strength to the mission field here in the southern part of India. The first Principal of the School was Mr. R. L. Wilson, which began in the year 1926. The Hill is lovingly addressed as ‘Saiypin Kunne’ which means the Foreigner’s Hill. The School through the years had reached a high and was a much sought place by one and all. Today we are sad to say that over two decades the school has had a downward trend and is in need of a revival.

School Song

Up in the hills, out in Nature,
Here we experience a Vidya janma.
For we are journeying at Karickam Adventist School,
To pursue our dreams, to pursue the truth, and practice our Lord's virtue.

Chorus:
So, we give thanks, we give praise,
For you are our home of knowledge, values, and care.
We pledge our loyalty to you, Karickam Adventist School,
For all you are doing to us and within us.
A new hope, a new life,
Where there is diligence and dedication.
For we give glory and honor to our Creator,
Who is the author and leader of our school.
