Our Story

Our story: a new school, told honestly

Most schools tell you how long they have existed. We would rather tell you what we are building — and what stands behind it.

The beginning we chose to build

Excel Knowledge International School stands in Kuruvambalam, near Perinthalmanna, in the heart of Malappuram — a co-educational day school for Kindergarten to Grade 5. These are the years when a child decides whether school is a place they love.

EKIS is new as a day school, and we say so plainly. The institution behind it is not: it already runs a senior residential programme for Grades 8 to 12, led by people who have managed education in the UAE and India.

Our direction is a complete K–12 institution — a commitment of intent, not a dated promise. Grades open when they can be opened well.

What stands behind a new school

Running senior education today

The Grades 8–12 residential programme operates now — capability in practice, not a plan on paper.

Experienced management

Founders with education-management experience across the UAE and India, and an experienced principal leading academics.

Rooted in its community

EKIS carries the endorsement of respected community leaders across Malappuram.

A values-based education

Character, ethics and responsibility taught alongside academic ambition — Excellence, Ethics, Empowerment.

Said plainly

What we won't tell you

We won't quote board results for the day school — it has none yet. We won't claim years of history the school hasn't lived. A school your child may spend a decade in should begin by telling you the truth.
