Nasr School

Nasr School has been a part of Hyderabad for a long time now. We don't have a fancy long address to give out because everyone around here just knows where we are. It’s a place where kids come to learn every day. You can hear the bells ringing and the children shouting during recess from a block away. We’ve got old trees in the yard and classrooms that have seen many years of students passing through. The desks have some scratches on them, and the hallways are always full of life. The teachers here have been around for ages, some of them even taught the parents of the kids who are here now. We don't really go for all those new-age slogans you see in the papers. We just focus on the books and making sure the kids behave themselves. It gets pretty loud in the mornings when the buses arrive, but then it settles down into a routine. We spend a lot of time organizing events and making sure the playground is safe. It’s a lot of responsibility, but we enjoy it most of the time. We aren't a big corporate entity; we are just a school that cares about the neighborhood kids. Every day is a bit different, but the goal is always the same—just getting through the lessons and helping the kids grow up a bit more. We keep the gate shut during the day and the office lady handles the paperwork.
