Don Bosco Senior Secondary School is a well-known co-ed school located in the Vaduthala locality of Kochi, Kerala, India. It was established in 1985 as The English Medium School with the aim of providing English medium education to the students of the locality. The school was initially recognized by the Kerala Government syllabus but lost its recognition in 1987 along with other schools. Despite the setbacks, the school management made several attempts to renew the recognition and finally succeeded in 1991 when the school was raised to the status of an Upper Primary School.

The school faced difficulties in procuring permission to start a high school under Kerala syllabus, so it decided to adopt the Indian Council for Secondary Certificate (ICSE) syllabus in 1997. The Pre-Primary and Lower Primary Schools were established that followed the ICSE syllabus. The school has grown in the coming years and has become a Higher Secondary School. In March 2000, the school received permanent recognition from the ICSE Board New Delhi.

Such unique programs help students develop a civic sense and grow as responsible citizens.

The program takes initiatives in house construction, medical treatment, scholarship for poor students, distribution of food packets, and other similar activities.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Education in Kerala</span> Aspect of Indian society

The importance and antiquity of education in Kerala are underscored by the state's ranking as among the most literate in the country. The educational transformation of Kerala was triggered by the efforts of the Church Mission Society missionaries, who were the pioneers that promoted mass education in Kerala, in the early decades of the 19th century. The local dynastic precursors of modern-day Kerala—primarily the Travancore Royal Family, the Nair Service Society, Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam and Muslim Educational Society (MES)—also made significant contribution to the progress on education in Kerala. Local schools were known by the general word kalaris, some of which taught martial arts, but other village schools run by Ezhuthachans were for imparting general education. Christian missionaries and British rule brought the modern school education system to Kerala. Ezhuthu palli was the name used in earlier times. The word was derived from the schools run by the Buddhist monasteries. For centuries villages used to setup an ezhuthupally or ashan pallikoodam with one or two teachers. Students used to go this school from nearby areas and learn languages, literature, mathematics, grammar etc. After completing this students may continue study about specific subjects such as ayurveda, astrology, accounting etc. Censuses during 1800 shows that Travancore, Cochin, Kannur areas have many such schools. Even name list of ashans were used to be published along with the census.
