Shi Raghunath International School

Our school, Shi Raghunath International School, is right in the middle of Ratangarh in the Churu district. You can find us near the Ashok Stambh, which is a pretty well-known landmark around here. We are actually right in front of Agrashen Bhavan, so it is hard to miss us if you are in that part of town. Even though we have the word international in our name, we are very much a local school for the families of Churu. The weather here gets really extreme, freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer, so our building has to handle a lot. We have rooms for the different classes and a small courtyard area. The teachers come in every morning from the surrounding neighborhoods. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment, but we have the essentials for teaching the kids their daily subjects. It can get a bit loud because we are near the main road and the market area, but the students are used to it by now. We try to keep the place clean and tidy, though with the wind in Churu, there is always a bit of sand getting in. It’s just a regular place where children come to learn. We don't do big advertisements or anything like that. People mostly hear about us from their neighbors or friends whose kids already go here. It’s a practical place for education and we keep things simple.
