Annie Besant School

If you go down Annapurna Road in Indore, you will find Annie Besant School at 49 48, Precanco Colony. It has been a fixture in this neighborhood for quite some time. The mornings are always a bit of a rush with parents dropping off their kids before they head to work. Our building sits in a residential area, so it feels very much like a part of the local community. We have classrooms that have seen many groups of students pass through over the years. The walls are covered with student projects and some old charts. It is not a silent place by any means; there is always the sound of someone practicing a poem or a teacher explaining a math problem. We have a small staff room where we drink tea and talk about how the kids are doing. Indore is a busy city, but inside the gates here, it is all about the school schedule. We have a bit of a yard where the children can play during their recess. It gets quite loud then. Most of the families who send their children here live nearby in Precanco Colony or the surrounding streets. We do not use any fancy gadgets, just the usual books and pens. It is a straightforward school where we focus on getting the work done and making sure the day goes smoothly. We have been part of this street for a long time now.
