Shilpi'S Pathsala

Shilpi'S Pathsala is situated at House Number 231 in Lane 2 of Amritsar. This isn't a big, cold institution but a small school run right from our home. We started this place because we wanted to offer a more personal and friendly environment for the kids in our neighborhood. The rooms in the house have been converted into small classrooms with mats and little desks for the students. It feels very comfortable and safe for the younger children who come here for their early education. The parents really seem to appreciate the fact that they can just walk down the lane to drop their kids off. We don't have a big staff or a separate office building. It’s just us doing the teaching and handling the small amount of paperwork that comes with it. In the morning, you can hear the kids reciting their lessons, and it blends in with the regular sounds of the neighborhood. We have a small garden area where the students can spend a little time outdoors. We don't use any complicated technology or fancy methods. It is all about the basics and making sure each child understands what they are being taught. We've been a part of this street for many years, and it's nice to see the kids grow up and move on to bigger schools. It’s a very quiet street most of the time except when parents are arriving or leaving with their little ones.
