Sree Sankara College is a Higher Educational Institution that was founded in Kalady, Kerala state in India in 1954 by Swami Agamananda, a scholar of the Hindu sect from Sri Ramakrishna Advaita Ashram.

The institution was established with a view to educate attendees on the teachings of Adi Shankaracharya and to enshrine the birthplace of shri Shankaracharya as a cultural hotspot. It consists of 21 Departments offering an Undergraduate Degree, a Graduate Degree and a Doctorate Degree. The college also consists of learning programs with an alternate, smaller curriculum that awards Diploma programs.

The institution was raised to the status of a First Grade College in 1956. It is affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University.

In June 1960, the patronage of the college became vested in the Jagadguru Sri Sri Sankaracharya Swamigal of Dakshinamnaya. Currently, Sri Sri Bharathi Theertha Mahaswamigal, of Sringeri Mutt, steers the administration through a board of directors with Sri. K. Anand as the managing director.

The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), a statutory body of the UGC has accredited the college A Grade with 2.80 CGPA on a four-point scale. The Departments of Economics, English, Chemistry, Sanskrit and Microbiology are approved Research Centers under the Mahatma Gandhi University.
