Prachiti International School

Prachiti International School is out in Kavathe, which is part of the Dhule district. It’s a bit of a drive to get here if you’re coming from the main town, but it’s a quiet area for a school to be. We have a fair amount of space around the building compared to city schools. You can see the fields nearby, and it feels different from a crowded urban school. We’ve got students coming in from the surrounding villages every morning by bus or on foot. The school day starts early because that’s just how life is in this part of Maharashtra. We have basic classrooms and a playground where the kids spend their breaks. It’s not a high-tech facility with tablets for everyone, but we have what’s necessary for teaching the curriculum. The teachers here are mostly from the local area or from towns nearby. We spend a lot of time making sure the kids are actually learning their basics. Sometimes the electricity goes out for a while, so we just open the windows and keep going with the lesson. The playground gets a bit dusty when it hasn't rained in a while. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. Word usually gets around the village about how the school is doing. It’s an honest place where we just try to do our jobs well. The building is a simple structure that serves its purpose for the families living around Kavathe.
