Kishori International School

Kishori International School sits on Pilani Road in the town of Chirawa, Jhunjhunu. It’s a well-known spot on that road. We’ve been here for several years now, and the school has become a staple for local families. The building has a lot of windows to let in the light, though we have to keep them shut when the dust storms start up in this part of Rajasthan. We have a mix of teachers, some who have been here since the start and some newer faces. We don't really do the whole corporate visionary talk. We just want to make sure the kids know their subjects well enough to pass their exams and do something with their lives. The courtyard is usually full of life during the lunch break, with kids swapping tiffins and running around. We have a library that is a bit small but full of useful books, and we try to add more when we can. The furniture is practical—just desks and chairs that have seen a lot of use over the years. We aren't a high-pressure environment, but we do expect the kids to show up on time and do their homework. Parents often drop by to talk to the teachers without making a big appointment. It’s a very grounded, local way of doing things. We just provide a space for learning and try to keep things running smoothly for everyone involved.
