Sri Venkateshwara Montessori Teachers Training

Finding us at No 44-C on Arcot Road isn't too hard because we are right near the Koyambedu Bus Terminus, which is basically the heart of the city's transport. Sri Venkateshwara Montessori Teachers Training is a place where adults come to figure out how to handle classrooms of their own. Because of the location in Alwarthirunagar, there is a constant background noise of buses and commuters. The building is practical, more about function than anything else. We have rooms set up with all the Montessori materials—the beads, the blocks, and the wooden maps—which the trainees spend hours practicing with. It can get quite stuffy in the afternoons, so the windows are usually wide open to let in whatever air is moving on Arcot Road. People come from all over for these sessions, some traveling long hours on the very buses that pass by our front door. The atmosphere is quiet and serious most of the time, though you will hear plenty of chatter during the tea breaks. We don't have much of a lobby or anything grand; it is just a series of rooms where people sit and learn the specific ways of the Montessori method. The floors are simple stone, and the walls are lined with charts. It is a straightforward spot for people who are looking to start a career in teaching without any unnecessary distractions or polished corporate talk.
