Chatrabhuj Narsee Memorial School

Chatrabhuj Narsee Memorial School is located on Dadabhai Naoroji Road. We are right opposite the Goklibai School Compound in Vile Parle West. It’s a busy part of Mumbai, so there’s always something going on outside our gates. Dadabhai Naoroji Road is usually crowded with cars and people walking to the station. We’ve been here in Vile Parle West for a long time. The school building is quite large and we have a lot of students coming in every day. It gets pretty loud during recess when everyone is out in the common areas. We just follow a regular schedule here. The name Chatrabhuj Narsee Memorial School is on the front, so people know where to find us. Opposite the Goklibai School Compound is the easiest way to describe the location to anyone new. We have teachers who have been with us for years. They just come in, do their classes, and go home. It’s a practical place, I suppose. We don't have any of those big mission statements hanging on every wall; we just have classrooms and desks. The kids stay busy with their books and their friends. Vile Parle West is a good neighborhood, even if it is a bit cramped at times. We just keep the school running day by day. It’s a lot of work to manage so many students, but we get it done. No one here is trying to be anything we aren't, and we keep the focus on the daily lessons and getting through the school year together without too much stress.
