When the Portuguese missionaries built the church, they also built up a school. It did not have any accreditation or affiliation at the time. Biblical studies, Malayalam, English and mathematics were the subjects which were taught there. Later the British’s established an English lower secondary school when they captured the ANCHUTHENGU factory and the fort. But the school was closed down because the British and ANCHUTHENGU localities were not in good terms.
