Idhayam Rajendran Residential Higher Secondary School

Setting up a school like Idhayam Rajendran Residential Higher Secondary School out here in Samanatham takes a good bit of effort. We are located right on Nedungulam Main Road, which is a handy spot for those coming from around Madurai. Being a residential school, it’s a bit different than your average day school because the kids are here all the time. It’s like a small village in 625009. We have the dorms and the classrooms all in one general area, so there is always something going on. In the mornings, you can hear the chatter as everyone gets ready for the day. The road outside can get a bit dusty, but once you step inside the gates, it’s our own little space. We spend a lot of time just keeping the place running smoothly, making sure the meals are ready and the lessons are happening. It isn't fancy, but it works for us and the families who send their children here. Living and working in Samanatham has its own rhythm. Sometimes the weather gets really hot, and we just try to keep things cool and keep the students focused on their books. It’s a lot of responsibility having kids stay overnight, so there is always someone on duty. We just take it one day at a time, making sure the routine stays steady for everyone involved.
