In 1964, under the leadership of Miss Margaret P. Paulose as the first Principal, the college commenced its journey with 277 students in the First Year Pre-Degree class at the Holy Angels' premises. The foundation stone for the permanent campus at Chackai was laid by His Excellency the Most Rev. James R. Knox, Apostolic Internuncio to India, on 15 May 1965. The college shifted to its new campus in Chackai on 10 January 1967 and expanded its offerings with the introduction of Degree Courses in various disciplines.
Over the years, All Saints' College has witnessed significant milestones, including the introduction of postgraduate courses, accreditation by NAAC, and participation in state initiatives like the Kerala State IT Mission (KSITM) programme. The college has continually evolved to meet the changing educational landscape.
The Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2013 marked 50 years of academic excellence and service, recognizing the institution's profound impact on generations of students. The introduction of new courses, such as B.Com (Travel & Tourism), and recognition as an IGNOU Study Centre in 2014, further solidified the college's commitment to diverse and accessible education.
The journey continued with the reaccreditation by NAAC, achieving grade A in 2016 and the remarkable grade A+ in 2022. These accolades underscore the institution's unwavering commitment to academic excellence and continuous improvement.
Reviews from students and the broader community highlight All Saints' College's role as a transformative force in women's education.
