New Kiran Public School

Down in Podanur, you’ll find New Kiran Public School at No 7 D1 on White Street. It’s a bit of a tucked-away spot in Coimbatore, but it works well for a school. The street itself is mostly residential, so we don't have to deal with too much heavy traffic, which is a relief when the kids are coming in. The building is a simple structure, nothing too tall or modern looking, just enough room for the grades we teach. We spend a lot of time just keeping the place tidy and making sure the desks are in good shape. Most of the staff live nearby, so there’s a lot of walking to work happening. You can hear the sounds of the neighborhood throughout the day—sometimes a car horn or someone selling vegetables on the street. It’s a very local atmosphere. We don’t really do big advertisements or anything like that. People mostly find us because they live in Podanur and need a place for their children to study. The classrooms get a decent amount of light in the afternoons. Sometimes the fans are a bit noisy, but we’re used to it. Life at the school follows a pretty steady rhythm. We open the doors, the kids arrive, and we get through the books. By the time the afternoon sun hits the front steps, everyone is ready to head home. It’s just how things go here on White Street.
