Gurgaon World School

Out here in Village Pahari, things move a bit slower than the city. Gurgaon World School is located right in the Teh Pataudi area. It’s a quiet place for the most part. We see a lot of green fields around us. The road to the school can be a bit dusty in the summer months. We have kids coming in from the nearby villages every morning. It’s a long walk for some of them. We try to keep the classrooms cool when it gets hot outside. Sometimes the power goes out, but we just open the windows and keep teaching. It’s not a shiny corporate building. It’s just a school in the village. We have a small playground where the kids play cricket during the breaks. The staff mostly comes from around here too. We know everyone’s name. It feels more like a community than a big institution. We don't spend much time on fancy decorations. Most of our day is spent with books and notebooks. You might hear the cows in the distance while we are in class. That is just life in Pataudi. We are happy being where we are. People know where to find us if they need anything. We just open the gates and get to work. It’s a simple setup but it works for the families here.
