Founder
Mother Veronica of the Passion (1823–1906) Born Sophie Leeves in Constantinople in 1823 to English parents, Mother Veronica of the Passion experienced a profound spiritual awakening in her youth that drew her to the Catholic faith. She came to India in 1863 and served at Calicut, where she was moved to found a congregation of teaching Sisters devoted to the education of women and girls. Returning to France, she established the Congregation of the Sisters of the Carmelite Third Order Regular — the Apostolic Carmel — at Bayonne on 16 July 1868. Its mission, from its founding to today, has centred on the holistic education and empowerment of women and girls, particularly the poor and marginalised.
Superior General
Sr. Maria Nirmalini A.C., re-elected as Superior General of the Apostolic Carmel Congregation, has outlined a renewed vision for religious life centred on listening, shared responsibility, and compassionate presence. She envisions education as a mission of inclusion and compassion, having championed the principle that no child in the congregation’s institutions should be denied education on account of economic hardship. Under her leadership, the congregation extended humanitarian outreach to Manipur, earthquake-affected Myanmar, and Sri Lanka, while strengthening governance through new commissions and a new mission in Germany.

Adv Jins Thomas
Mother Veronica founded the Apostolic Carmel on the belief that education can lift the poor and the marginalised. That vision is, at heart, a vision of justice. Wherever law and education work together, they protect that vision, so that every child is valued, protected and empowered. May our students learn that true strength lies in truth, fairness and service to others, and carry these values with them throughout life.
Moments That Captured
Carmel English Medium School
Nestled on the tranquil shores of Vypin Island, some 11 kilometres from the bustling city of Ernakulam, Carmel English Medium School stands today as a beacon of hope and learning for the coastal fisherfolk community it so lovingly serves. Founded in 2002 under the patronage of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and administered by the Sisters of the Apostolic Carmel, the school has, over two and a half decades, grown from a single nursery classroom into a full-fledged ICSE institution offering education from Lower Kindergarten to Class X. The school received its provisional affiliation certificate on 13th May 2013, under affiliation number KE.136 — a milestone that placed it firmly within the ICSE fold and set it on the path towards full academic maturity. This journey reached a further significant landmark on 8th July 2024, when the school was granted its No Objection Certificate (NOC) and Recognition up to Class IX, and again on 11th November 2025, when this recognition was extended up to Class X — formally affirming its standing and paving the way for its continued growth.The journey of Carmel English Medium School is a quiet testament to what vision and unwavering dedication can achieve. It continues to stand today not merely as a place of instruction, but as a home where learning and love walk hand in hand — carrying forward, generation after generation, the light first kindled in June 2002, and the legacy first kindled in Bayonne in 1868, when Mother Veronica of the Passion founded the Congregation of the Apostolic Carmel. Today, the Apostolic Carmel Congregation flourishes across five provinces in India and carries its charism of faith and education to convents and mission fields across ten countries around the world — India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Italy , France and Germany
