In June 2007, the Valiyavila Foundation(Established and funded by Dr. Joseph D. Fernandez) bought Sree Saraswathee Central School in Chittumala, E. Kallada, and named it St. Joseph International School (SJIS), Chittumala, with about 43 students, situated in the old printing press building in Chittumala. Since the building was small, the Valiyavila Foundation bought some more land and corner stone of the current new school building was laid on Dec. 25, 2008 by Rev. Fr. Hubert M. Fernandez of Valiyavila family and the construction started. The new building was inaugurated in March 2010 by Honorable Minister Genesh Kumar. We received the NOC from Kerala Govt. on Sept. 7, 2012 for St. Joseph International School, Chittumala. We have now about 600 students enrolled. We follow the CBSE syllabus in Chittumala. Our first group passed the 10th with flying colours in 2014 – 2015. Our affiliation number is 931092.
