Chinmaya Vidyalaya Kolazhy, Thrissur, like all Chinmaya Vidyalaya’s in the country is a School With A Difference (SWAD). By this we mean that we do not merely emphasis on academics though we are in the forefront in that field, but we also enable students to adapt to various situations in life through our Chinmaya Vision Programme (CVP) which aims at the holistic development of the individual by adopting the four-pronged programme of integrated development of the personality, inculcation of patriotism, emphasis on Indian culture along with a universal outlook on life.
           
                Our school curriculum is framed to impart value-based education that aims at both spiritual and intellectual development of the child along with the physical and emotional. Our school is one of the leading schools in Kerala in the field of academics. Students are encouraged to think creatively and originally.
           
                We aim to provide a serene and pristine environment conductive to learning by creating an oasis of place and greenery in the school campus. We have a unique and exclusive herbal garden with about fifty varieties of medicinal plants and we aim to grow more than 100 varieties by the end of 2008. We also have a wonderful collection of flowering plants and an extensive vegetable garden, which provides all the vegetables for the school hostel. Both the herbal and the vegetable garden are tended for exclusively by students of class 8 and 9.
         
                Children are exposed to Indian culture and heritage right from the lower classes by celebrating all religious festivals together by the teachers and the students in the school auditorium. The students and teachers under the guidance of the principal perform activities associated with the function, dress up for the occasion and explain the significance of these functions to the children.
          
                Our children learn to see and appreciate the harmony in creation by giving due importance to all aspects of environmental education. Students prepare Vermicompost- an excellent organic fertilizer in addition to gardening. We are also enforcing a ban on plastic and encouraging use of eco-friendly bags, pouches, plates, glasses etc. It is our vision to impart education through a mixture of science and spirituality.
