Sunbeam School

Out on the Faizabad-Raebareli Road, Sunbeam School is situated in a busy part of Faizabad City. Being on a main road like SH-15 means there is always the sound of trucks and cars going by. We’ve grown used to it over the years. The school building is a solid, no-nonsense place. We have a lot of rooms and they are usually quite full. In the mornings, you’ll see kids jumping off rickshaws or being dropped off by their parents. We don’t have any fancy receptionists or a big lobby. You just walk in and someone will help you. The teachers are always busy, usually carrying a stack of books or rushing to the next class. We focus on the standard subjects. There is a lot of writing involved. The walls are covered in student work, mostly drawings and some science charts. It’s a bit cluttered, but it shows that the kids are active. During the winter, the sun hits the courtyard just right, and that’s where everyone wants to be. We handle all the administration ourselves, from the fees to the exam schedules. It’s a lot of paperwork. We don't use any slick advertising to get people to come here. Word of mouth in Faizabad is usually how people find us. It’s just a normal, everyday school where we try to do a decent job with the resources we have at hand for the children.
