Staford Academy

Staford Academy is situated at 32/8 in Lucknow, over in the Aish Bagh area. We are right in Pili Colony. A good landmark for us is Nehru Wala Park. It’s nice to be near some green space in the middle of the city. The academy is a pretty straightforward place. We’ve been operating out of this building for a while now. The neighborhood is a mix of houses and small businesses. We don't have a big fancy entrance, just a regular door that stays open most of the day. The interior is functional. We have rows of desks and some old blackboards. It feels like a proper schoolhouse from back in the day. We aren't big on using tablets or fancy gadgets. We prefer notebooks and pens. The teachers here have been with us for a long time, and we all know each other well. In the afternoons, you can hear the birds in the park across the way, which is a nice break from the city noise. We don't run any big campaigns to get people to join. Most families in Pili Colony just know we are here. Sometimes the plumbing acts up or the roof leaks a little when it rains hard, but we just fix it and move on. It’s a honest place where we just focus on the daily teaching. We usually have a bit of a chat with parents at the gate.
