The school is noted not only for its academic excellence but also for sporting activities. In the late 1960s, it was one of the few schools in Kerala that was offering French as a second language.

The school has a very good choir and a humble chapel, where Muslims, Hindus and Christian students offered prayers. Extracurricular activities are always high on the school agenda(a lot of clubs); personality development programmes and summer camps are also conducted. The school encourages sports and offers financial assistance to participants with strong support from PTA.^{[citation needed]}
