Icon International School

Icon International School is situated right by Javali Kuppe Gate on the Hunsur Mysore Madikeri Highway. Being out here in Chilkunda means we get a lot of students from the surrounding villages and the outskirts of Mysore. The school is easy to spot if you are driving along the highway. We have a fair amount of space here compared to schools right in the middle of the city. The building is functional and holds all our classrooms and the main office area. Every day starts with the school buses rolling in through the gate. It's a bit of a trek for some of the staff who live further away, but we all make it on time. The rooms are set up with the usual desks and boards for teaching. We don’t go for anything too flashy; we just make sure there is enough room for everyone to sit comfortably. During the lunch break, the grounds get quite active with students playing around. It can get dusty when the weather is dry, but that’s just how it is in this part of the state. We spend our days keeping track of attendance and making sure the lessons stay on schedule. People mostly know us as the school on the way to Madikeri. It’s a straightforward operation where we look after the kids and help them get through their classes. We handle our own maintenance and try to keep the place tidy for everyone who comes here.
