Gandhi Memorial English School

If you head down Hosur Main Road toward Kudlu, you’ll find us tucked away in AECS Layout. Gandhi Memorial English School is at number 1162, which is a fairly easy spot to find if you know the neighborhood. The area around here has changed a lot over the years with all the new buildings going up, but our school stays pretty much the same. It’s a simple building where we spend our days teaching and looking after the students. In the mornings, the street gets busy with parents on scooters dropping off their kids before heading to work. You can hear the voices from the classrooms all the way out on the sidewalk sometimes. We don't have a massive campus with stadiums, just enough room for the children to learn and play a bit during their breaks. The teachers here have been around for a while, and they know most of the families by name. It’s a very local feel, the kind of place where people actually talk to each other. Sometimes the gate squeaks a little and the paint might need a touch-up, but the inside is where everything happens. We just focus on the daily lessons and making sure things run smoothly. It’s a lot of work keeping a school going in a busy city like Bangalore, but we just take it one day at a time here in Kudlu. There is always some small thing to fix or a report to finish before we close.
