Shishukunj International School

Shishukunj International School sits on the Indore Ujjain Road, right near Vishwanath Dham. It is just down the way from Sanwer Road. Most days start pretty early here with the yellow buses pulling into the gate. You can hear the engines and the kids shouting to each other before the first bell even rings. It is a busy place, but that is just how schools are. We have teachers who have been walking these hallways for years now. They know which desks have the wobbly legs and which windows are hard to open. The classrooms are full of stuff, like old posters and piles of notebooks that students forgot. We do not have everything perfectly polished. Sometimes the paint chips or the grass gets a bit long near the entrance. That is okay because we are busy with the actual work of teaching. Life near Sanwer Road has changed a lot with more shops and traffic, but inside our walls, it stays mostly the same. We spend a lot of time just making sure everyone is where they should be. It is not always easy keeping hundreds of kids on track. There is a lot of coffee drunk in the staff room while we talk about the day. We just try to get the lessons done and make sure the kids go home with all their belongings. It is a simple, hardworking kind of place for the families around here.
