Reader'S Academy

Reader’S Academy is over in Shanti Nagar, which is in the Etah area. It’s a local school that focuses on giving the neighborhood kids a place to learn their daily lessons. We aren't a big, sprawling campus with lots of fancy facilities. Instead, we have a modest building that we have turned into a series of classrooms. It gets quite crowded and noisy during the day, but that is to be expected with so many students in one place. We don’t use any corporate jargon or talk about fancy missions. We just show up every morning, open the gates, and start teaching. The teachers here are very dedicated and often stay after school to help kids who are having a hard time with their math or English. We don’t have a massive playground, so the kids usually just hang out in the hallways or the small outdoor area during their breaks. Most of the families living in Shanti Nagar know us well. They drop their kids off on the way to work. We try to keep our fees as low as possible because we know that money can be tight for many families. Sometimes things break or we run out of supplies, and we just have to figure it out as we go along. It is a very practical, hands-on way to run a school, and we think it works for our town. It is a place built for learning.
