Manikanta School Mallial

We are located on the 5th floor of the Morning Glory building, specifically in flat 504. It’s in the Pimpri area of Pune, right in the middle of a lot of residential blocks. Having Manikanta School Mallial in a flat is a bit different from your typical school with a big yard. We have to be mindful of the neighbors in the other apartments, so we tell the kids not to run too fast in the hallways. The space is used as best as we can, with different rooms for different age groups. It gets a bit tight during the morning drop-off when the elevator is busy, but everyone is used to the routine by now. We have windows that look out over the Pimpri rooftops, which gives the classrooms some light. It’s a small operation, really. Just a few teachers and the administrative staff working out of the main room. We don't have a big playground, so we do what we can indoors or use the nearby public spaces when we need to. Most of the families who bring their kids here live in the same building or just down the street. It’s convenient for them. We keep our records in a few old filing cabinets and the walls are covered with the kids' drawings. It’s a simple, local school that doesn't try to be anything it isn't. We just focus on the lessons and making sure the kids are safe and learning.
