Kaushalya World School

The school is situated at 55, S N Banerjee Road in the Taltala area. This is one of the busiest parts of Kolkata, and the noise from the street is something you never really get away from. Trams, buses, and cars are constantly moving past the building. The school occupies a section of an older property that has been there for many decades. It doesn't look like those modern schools with glass walls. It has thick brick walls and high ceilings which help keep it a bit cooler. The entrance is right on the main road, so we have to be very careful with the kids when they are arriving or leaving. There is no big courtyard, so the daily activities happen in the indoor halls. The furniture is practical and sturdy, meant to last through years of students using it. Teachers here often travel by public transport because parking on S N Banerjee Road is almost impossible. During the lunch break, you can see the kids sharing their tiffins in the classrooms. The lighting is okay, but we rely a lot on the big windows to let in air. It is a school that reflects the grit of central Kolkata. It is not a quiet place, but it is a place where a lot of activity happens every single day. We manage the space we have and keep the daily schedule moving along. Most of the staff has worked here for a long time.
