Goodricke School For Special Education

You can find us at Kundu Bhaban on Bidhan Road in Siliguri. It’s a well-known building in this part of town, 734001. We run a school here for kids who need a bit of extra help with their learning. It’s not like a regular school with hundreds of kids running around. It’s smaller and a bit more personal than that. The rooms are filled with drawings and posters that the students have made during class. Sometimes it gets a bit loud when everyone is excited, but that’s just part of the day for us. We have teachers who have been here for years and they really know each of the children. We don’t have a lot of expensive equipment or fancy tech, but we make do with what we have. Siliguri can get very rainy in the monsoon, and sometimes the roof leaks a little, but we just put a bucket under it and keep going with the lessons. The parents come in often and talk to us about how their kids are doing at home. We don’t use a lot of big words to describe what we do here. We just try to give the kids a place where they feel okay and can learn a few things at their own pace. It’s hard work and it can be tiring, but it’s what we do. We’re right there on Bidhan Road.
