Kaumaram Sushila International Residential School

We are located right here at 3, Gokul Boral Street in the Bowbazar area. It is a busy part of Kolkata, especially in the mornings when the shops start opening up. Kaumaram Sushila International Residential School is not just a building for classes, since the students stay here throughout the term. You will see us early in the day, managing the breakfast routine or making sure everyone has their books ready for the first bell. Living and learning in the same spot means things never really get quiet. The building has its own quirks, like the way the light hits the hallways in the afternoon. We spend a lot of time organizing the dormitory and making sure the classrooms are set up before the teachers arrive. It is a practical setup. There are no grand marble entrances here, just the usual desks and chairs you find in any school. Sometimes the traffic on the street outside gets a bit much, but you get used to the honking after a while. Most of the staff has been around for years, so we know the local chai wallahs and where to get the best stationery when we run low. It’s a lot of work looking after kids twenty-four hours a day. We just keep things moving, from the morning assembly to the evening study hours. That is how life goes here on Gokul Boral Street. We keep it simple and keep going.
