The campus of the school was designed by architect Laurie Baker and includes a swimming pool, basketball and volleyball courts, a football field, an 800-seat auditorium, and platforms for theatre and other performing arts.
The school has partnered with activist organisations including Greenpeace, EXNORA, and several NGOs in Kerala for projects.
It protested against the official apathy regarding the Vadavathoor Dump problem and formed the Citizen's Action Forum (CAF) which discusses such issues.
Bala Bhu Bhadratha, an environmental organisation started in Pallikoodam, has filed a Writ of Mandamus in the High Court of Kerala, praying that these rules be implemented in Kottayam.Pallikoodam has also fought against the pollution in the Meenchil River and the use of endosulfan in India.
Pallikoodam, which prides itself on its pro feminist stance, landed in hot water when a rule requiring boys and girls to be one meter apart made its rounds online.
