Our story
Three decades of little beginnings
St. Antony's Nursery & Primary School has been Kariyapattinam's trusted first school since 1991 — one classroom, one candle, one child at a time.
Reg. No 3908/2004

Who we are
A neighbourhood school that feels like family
In 1991, St. Antony's Nursery & Primary School began with a simple belief: every child in Kariyapattinam deserves a bright, caring start to school life — close to home.
Today we teach children from LKG through Grade 5 in English medium, with Tamil held close to the heart. Our classrooms are small on purpose. Our teachers stay for years. And our crest — a candle over an open book — reminds us daily that knowledge is a light passed gently from hand to hand.
