The Carmel Convent School was founded on 16 July 1957, by Mother Theodosia and five other sisters. It had no facilities and was dependent on donations. The first student, Iona D’Souza, was admitted on 1 July 1957, and she was followed by 59 others. On 16 July, during the Feast of the Lady of Mount Carmel, the school was formally inaugurated.In December 1957, there were 150 students enrolled, and by January 1985 enrollment had reached 350 students. Lower classes were added the following year. To accommodate this surge in students, the school rented a larger house.
