Talent School

Talent School is situated on B M Road in Hunsur, which is a very busy stretch of road heading towards Mysore. You can always hear the trucks and buses roaring past the front gate. It makes the place feel very connected to the rest of the world, even if it’s a bit noisy. The school building is right there on the main road, so it’s easy for parents to drop their kids off on their way to work. We have a small playground area in the back, away from the traffic, where the kids can run around safely during their breaks. The classrooms are basic but they do the job. We have some posters on the walls and the windows stay open most of the day to let the air in. Our staff is a small group of people who have lived in Hunsur for most of their lives. We don't have a principal with a giant mahogany desk; the office is just a desk in the corner of the staff room where we handle the paperwork. Sometimes things get a little disorganized when we have a big event, but we always figure it out. Most of the families who send their kids here are locals who work in the shops or small businesses nearby. It’s just a regular school where people know each other by their first names and stop to chat in the street after school.
