Sri Gopal Naidu Higher Secondary School

We are based in Bharathi Nagar, which is in the Peelamedu area of Coimbatore. It is an old part of the city and people around here have known about our school for a long time. The school has a lot of history and you can see that in the older parts of the building. Every morning, the bell rings and the students gather for the morning assembly in the open yard. It gets quite warm in Coimbatore, so we have plenty of trees around the campus to give some shade during the break times. We have students from all kinds of backgrounds coming here for their higher secondary education. The classrooms are simple with wooden benches and blackboards that have been used for years. We focus on the daily lessons and getting the students ready for their board exams when the time comes. Teachers here have been with us for a long while and they know the families in the neighborhood quite well. It is a quiet atmosphere inside the gates, even though the city outside is growing and getting louder. We do not use much technology compared to newer schools, but we keep our records straight and make sure the students follow the rules. Life here is steady and follows the same rhythm every year, from the start of the term in June until the exams in the summer. It is a traditional place where we just focus on the basics of teaching.
