Loyola School, Thiruvananthapuram is a private Catholic primary and secondary school for boys located in Sreekariyam, Thiruvananthapuram, in the state of Kerala, India. Founded in 1961, the school has been run by the Jesuits since its establishments and provides an education for approximately 1,750 boys from Kindergarten to Grade 12.

In 1960, Fr. Joseph Edamaram, S.J., the first Provincial of the Jesuits in the independent Kerala province, helped found Loyola School and the adjacent Loyola College of Social Sciences in Trivandrum. In June 1961, Loyola School was established at Palayam, with Fr. K.V. John S.J. as the first Principal and 36 students on the rolls. In 1962, the school was temporarily shifted to a campus in Monvila, followed by the establishment of a boarding house. Fr. P.C. Anthony, S.J. followed Fr. K.V. John S.J. as the Principal of the school.

In 1963, the school was eventually transplanted to its present campus, followed by the introduction of the ISC course and an affiliation with the Cambridge University, due to the efforts of the third Principal, Fr. Antony Vachaparambil, S.J. Fr. John Kunjaparambil, S.J., the fifth Principal, introduced weekly assemblies, the offices of the School Captain and the General Secretary, in May 1964. He also introduced four houses - Panthers, Leopards, Lions and Tigers, and is also credited with the promotion of sports and other activities in the school.

The blueprint of the main-wing of the present-day three-story ICSE block was prepared in 1967 when Fr. Mathew Pulickal, S.J. was the Vice-Principal, and the construction was completed in 1970, along with the carving-out of the main playground. A separate single-story Junior school compound and a pavilion-cum-canteen complex were erected in 1971-73, which got the school recognized by the Indian Central Government as the first boys-only school in Kerala for the placement of National Merit Scholars.

Notable dignitaries who have visited the school include Mother Teresa and A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
