Besant Theosophical Higher Secoundry School

Besant Theosophical Higher Secoundry School sits at number 2, Arundale Beach Road, right in the heart of Besant Nagar. Being so close to the ocean means we always have that salty air blowing through the windows, which is nice during the humid Chennai summers. The school has an old-fashioned feel to it, with large trees providing shade over the courtyard where the students gather. It isn't a modern glass building; it's more of a traditional place with thick walls and high ceilings. You can hear the crows in the trees and the distant sound of the waves if the traffic on the road dies down for a second. We spend our mornings checking uniforms and making sure the assembly goes off without too much trouble. The teachers here have been around for a long time, some even taught the parents of our current students. We have a lot of paperwork to deal with, like any other school, and our desks are usually piled high with notebooks waiting to be corrected. During the lunch break, the kids head out to the open spaces, and it gets quite loud for about forty minutes. We don't try to be anything we aren't; we are just a neighborhood school that has been part of the Besant Nagar landscape for decades. It’s a bit worn in some places, but that’s just because it gets used every single day by hundreds of people.
