Sree Sankara English Medium School is situated in a serene setting with the Tripurakulangara in its front. Goddess Karthyayani , the patroness of Cherthala , comes annually to the pond on her festival day ‘Cherthala Pooram’ for the ceremonial bath (Arrattu). Proximity to the pond is the identifying mark of our school.

SSEMS commenced functioning on 07-06-1990 under the resourceful management of the Puliyamkottu Bhagom NSS Karayogam (Educational and cultural Society, A 628/96, Tripurakulangara, Cherthala) committee comprising of the president Sri M.P Govindankutty Nair, the secretary Sri P.K. Bhaskarakurup and 9 members. From a very modest beginning with       1 KG Division and a teacher, the school traversed a path of progress, to become a centre of excellence that imparts quality education. Securing CBSE Affiliation in 2002, Sree Sankara began ascending the steps towards academic excellence. The sincere and selfless service of the former principals, Sri.K.Gopalakrishnan Nair, Sri.P.K.Narayanakurup and Sri. N.Somasekhara Panicker also contributed substantially to the growth of the institution.

We thankfully remember all the benefactors and well-wishers of SSEMS, who have contributed their great share in nurturing this school.

Today sincerely supported by the present office-bearers of the NSS Karayogam Managing Committee and coordinated by the principal Dr.U.Sureshkumar, this school is tirelessly striving to stretch arms towards perfection.
