Seth M. R. Jaipuria School

Seth M. R. Jaipuria School is out here at Gitm, on Faizabad Road in the Anaura Kalan area of Lucknow. The 226028 zip code is a bit of a distance from the main city center, which means we have a bit more space, but it’s still a busy place once the day starts. Most of us here at the school spend our time looking after the day-to-day things that keep a school running. We have the usual classrooms, a library that’s usually pretty quiet, and the grounds where the kids run around during their breaks. It's not a place for fancy talk; we just get on with the job of teaching. The staff knows the local families well because many of them have been sending their children here for years. You might hear the sound of the traffic from Faizabad Road in the distance, but inside the gates, it’s all about the school day. We deal with the rain when it messes up the driveway and the heat when the power goes out. It’s a very real, grounded place. We don’t have a big marketing team writing our brochures. We just have teachers and office staff who show up every morning. We make sure the homework is checked and the students are safe until their parents pick them up. It's just life at a school in Anaura Kalan. Some days are longer than others, but we get through the work.
