Emm Aar International School

Down in Syamala Nagar at Door No 78-13-12, you will find Emm Aar International School. Rajahmundry is a busy city, but our corner here is a bit more tucked away. We have students coming in every morning, mostly local kids from the surrounding streets. The name says international, but we are a local school at heart. Our classrooms have the usual whiteboards and posters on the walls, and the desks are lined up in rows. Teachers here spend a lot of time grading papers and talking to parents about how their kids are doing. It is a lot of small tasks that fill up the day, like making sure the water cooler is filled or checking that the gate is locked properly. We don't have a huge staff, so everyone chips in with whatever needs doing. During the rainy season, the yard gets a bit muddy, so we have to keep the kids inside more than they like. They usually spend their break time talking or playing small games in the corridors. It’s a normal school day for us, starting early and ending when the sun starts to go down. We don't try to be anything we aren't; we just provide a place for children to come and learn their lessons. The teachers are regular people who care about the kids and want them to pass their exams. It's just a regular part of life here in the 533103 area for all of us.
