Prashanti Gurukulam

Prashanti Gurukulam is located here in Kanchipuram. Being in a place like Kanchipuram, we feel very connected to the local atmosphere and the history of the town. The school follows a traditional approach, which is what people around here expect from us. We don't have a massive campus with shiny buildings, but it's enough for what we do every day. The daily schedule is quite fixed. We wake up early and get the day started with the students. It’s a simple life for everyone here. We don't use much fancy technology; it's more about the books and the teaching. The rooms are basic and functional. We have a small group of staff who live nearby or on the grounds. The weather in Kanchipuram can get quite hot in the summer, so we spend a lot of time in the shade of the trees. Parents come from around the district to see how their kids are doing. It’s not a corporate environment at all. It feels more like a home. We have a garden area where things grow a bit wild sometimes because we don't have a full-time gardener. We just focus on the day-to-day education. It’s quiet and steady work. Most of the people who work here have been around since the very start. We don't really do advertising. People just find us by word of mouth in the town. It’s just our way of life here.
