Nethaji English Medium School

You can find us at No - 2 Prabhu Nagar, on Chetti Street in the Selvapuram area of Coimbatore. This part of the city is very busy with small workshops and houses all mixed together. Nethaji English Medium School is a local place for the families living around here. We have a small entrance and the building goes back a bit. The walls are covered with some old charts and drawings made by the students. Coimbatore has a lot of schools, but we just focus on our small group of students. We have teachers who live just a few streets away. They walk to work every morning. The classrooms are a bit tight, but we manage to fit the desks in. We have a small space for the children to gather for the morning prayer. It’s not a quiet place because of the city sounds, but the kids don't seem to mind. We spend a lot of time on basic reading and writing. During the monsoon, the street can get a bit muddy, so we have to clean the floors more often. We don't have a big bus service, so most kids come with their parents on scooters or just walk. It’s a practical, everyday kind of school. We don't have much time for fancy events, we just keep to the schedule and make sure the lessons are done properly. The staff room is small but we enjoy our tea together.
