Vidhyadhiraja School

You can find us in the Nattassery area of Kottayam, specifically near Shmpo. It is a quiet neighborhood and the school fits right in. The building is a bit older and has that classic look you see in many local schools in Kerala. We have a few trees around the yard that provide some shade. Most of the staff comes in from nearby areas on their bikes or by bus. We don't have any fancy signs or promotional papers lying around. We just focus on the daily teaching and making sure the students are prepared for their exams. The rain can be a real challenge here in Kottayam. Sometimes we have to mop up the corridors when the monsoon hits hard. It’s just a normal part of life for us. The office is small and usually filled with stacks of notebooks and attendance registers. We don’t put on any act for visitors. We are just a regular school with regular people. The kids wear their uniforms and we follow the bell. During the breaks, the noise of children playing fills the whole street. We try to keep the garden a bit tidy but it’s hard work when the weather is so wet. It’s a very local vibe and we like it that way. We've been here for many years and have seen many students pass through these doors. We just keep doing our work every day without much fuss.
