Shreyas Public School

Shreyas Public School is located out here in Ramanagara. It’s a place many people know for the big rocky hills, but for us, it’s just home. The school is a straightforward building where we gather every day to teach the local kids. We don't have the big facilities you might find in a city like Bangalore, but we make do with what we have. Most of our students live nearby and walk or take a short bus ride to get here. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, though we do make sure the kids stay on top of their schoolwork. Our teachers are people from the area who understand the local way of life. We spend a lot of time on the basics, making sure everyone can read and write properly before they move on to bigger things. The playground is often dusty, and the sun can be quite strong, but the kids don't seem to mind when they’re playing football or tag. We have our fair share of challenges, like when the roof needs a bit of repair after a heavy rain, but we just fix it and move on. It’s an honest kind of place. We don’t use a lot of big words or make grand claims. We just want to see these children grow up to be sensible adults who can find their way in the world. It's a lot of work but the community here in Ramanagara is used to us by now and we just keep going day by day.
