Miranda Primary School

If you are near the Civil Court in Agra, you aren't far from Miranda Primary School. We are located on Shamshabad Road, and the address is 282002. It’s a place for the younger children to start their schooling. Because we are near the court, the area is always full of lawyers and people busy with legal work. Our school is a bit of a contrast to that serious atmosphere. Inside, you’ll find small chairs and low tables for the little ones. The walls are often covered in finger paintings and alphabet charts. We spend a lot of time teaching the kids how to share and play together. It’s a noisy place, especially during playtime, but that’s expected with primary schoolers. The teachers here are used to tied shoelaces and spilled water bottles. We have a small staff that looks after everything from the lessons to the cleaning. Shamshabad Road is quite busy, so we make sure the entrance is well-guarded when the children are arriving or leaving. Most of our students come from the nearby residential blocks. We don’t have a big corporate setup. It’s just us and the kids every day. We keep a simple schedule of lessons and snacks. Sometimes the monkeys from the nearby trees come to visit the roof, which the kids find very exciting. We just try to provide a steady place for the neighborhood children to spend their mornings. It’s a local school for local people.
