Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, Trivandrum, Higher secondary school in Nalanchira, Thiruvananthapuram, India
Sarvodaya Vidyalaya is a higher secondary school in the Nalanchira neighborhood of Thiruvananthapuram, situated on the Mar Ivanios Vidya Nagar campus in the Bethany Hills area. The campus brings together classrooms, science laboratories, and sports grounds spread across a hilly plot with open green spaces.
The school was founded on January 3, 1973, by Benedict Mar Gregorios, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Trivandrum, under the Major Archdiocese. It was set up as part of a broader effort to bring more schooling options to the area.
The school follows a trilingual teaching approach, with English as the main language of instruction alongside Malayalam and Hindi. This mix is visible in everyday school life, from notices on the walls to the way students and teachers communicate across subjects.
The campus sits in the Bethany Hills area and is reachable by public transport from different parts of Thiruvananthapuram. Students coming from across the city generally use the school bus service, which covers several neighborhoods.
The school offers both the ISC and ICSE curricula, which is uncommon since most schools in India follow only one of these examination boards. This means students can follow different academic tracks depending on their goals, within the same institution.
