Kindergarten Teachers

Holy Grace Academy is a co-educational international school located in Mala with its pastoral serenity and rustic charm along the borders of two unique urban locales, Thrissur and Kochi.

With an eagle's eye on maintaining superior, smart and sustainable standards, the school has been running successfully with its elementary, middle and secondary sections under veteran leadership.

We boast of a wide range of modern teaching and recreational facilities, such as an auditorium, a swimming pool, sports courts and open spaces, as well as a fully equipped library and extensive IT facilities.

The curriculum at Holy Grace Academy is based on the recommendations of NEP and international curricula with integrated teaching practices in foundation years.

With our revamping of the entire programme in Foundation years incorporating the NEP reforms, we're currently the only school in the state with unique benchmarks merging both
N.E.P national standards and the best in various international curricula.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the highly renowned school and to help shape the future of our talented little ones.
