The Arcadia School

The Arcadia School is located right on Chakarata Road in Sudhowala. If you know the Prem Nagar area of Dehradun, you’ve likely driven past us many times. It’s a busy part of the city, but once you step inside the gates, it gets a lot quieter. We started this place because we saw a need for a straightforward school in this neighborhood. The teachers here are a hardworking bunch. They show up early every day, even when the Dehradun winters get really cold and foggy. We have kids coming from all over the city, not just the immediate area. Our classrooms are plain but they have everything a student needs to get through the day. We don't spend much on flashy decorations because we'd rather focus on the actual teaching part. During the lunch break, you can hear the kids shouting and playing from down the street. It’s a good sound. Sometimes we have to deal with traffic jams outside our gate during drop-off times, but the local shopkeepers are used to it by now. We try to keep the parents involved in what’s going on, though everyone is busy with their own work. It’s a decent place for a child to grow up and learn the basics. We just do our best with what we have and hope the kids take something good away from their time here. We've been here for a while and the Dehradun community seems to know what we're about by now.
