Nestled within the greenery of NIT Campus Post in Calicut, Dayapuram Residential School has been a landmark institution in Kozhikode district since its establishment in 1984. Managed by the Al Islam Charitable Trust and affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE Affiliation No. 930044), the school is situated approximately 22 kilometres from the heart of Calicut city, in an environment that its founder C.T. Abdurahim described not merely as a campus, but as a carrier of an egalitarian and inclusive vision. Over four decades, Dayapuram has grown into one of the most recognized CBSE schools in Calicut, offering continuous schooling from Nursery through Class 12 under the leadership of Principal Mrs. Jyothi P.

What sets Dayapuram apart among residential schools in Kozhikode is its early adoption of Artificial Intelligence as a formal part of the curriculum - a distinction the school claims as a first in India. Alongside AI, the school runs structured programmes in Coding and Robotics through its annual Digital Fest, giving students exposure to technology-led learning from the school years itself. The CBSE curriculum is delivered across all streams at the senior secondary level, with a teaching methodology that integrates co-curricular participation, life-skills training, and humanitarian values as active parts of the academic experience.

The campus facilities include smart classrooms, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, and Computer Science laboratories, a well-stocked library, and a large playground supporting football, basketball, and multiple other sports. The campus also features culturally significant spaces - the Vaikom Muhammed Basheer Museum, ONV Park (built around a poem by O.N.V. Kurup), and the Azad Ambedkar Arena - giving students an environment that connects learning with literature and social consciousness. GPS-enabled school buses cover major routes in and around Calicut, and fee payments can be made online through HDFC or Federal Bank portals.

Admissions for 2026-27 are currently open, with online registration forms available separately for general classes and Class 11.
