Thomas began a nursery-cum-preparatory school, in January 1972, with a first batch of 28 pupils.In 1974, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, granted the school affiliation, thereby enabling it to present its first batch of students for the ICSE examination the following year. In 1986, the second part of the ICSE exams, (the Indian School Certificate Exams) were added, allowing the school to teach 11th and 12th grades. Two years after the school was initiated, the admirers of Mr. K.I. Thomas founded the KIT Thomas Educational Society, a registered Christian Minority Trust, as a tribute to his contribution in bettering the society. The Trust now owns and controls the management of the school.

In 1991, Preschool, and Kindergarten classes were started, through donations from ITC. In 1994, land from the lake on the premises was reclaimed, to create a playground. in 1997, a library block was added. In 2006, the auditorium and surrounding blocks were renovated, to keep up with the increase in capacity of the school. 2010 saw the creation of a new branch, in association with the C.L. Metha Trust, the Dr. C.L. Metha Sishya School, OMR, on the Old Mahabalipuram Road.
