Shanti Asiatic School

Shanti Asiatic School is out on the Olpad-Dandi Road, specifically around New Narthan Town in the Olpad Taluka. It’s a bit of a trek from the main city, but it’s a lot quieter out here. We have a fair amount of land across blocks 421 to 427, which gives us plenty of space to breathe. The air feels a bit different than it does in the middle of Surat. We spend our mornings getting everything ready before the buses arrive. It’s a lot of coordination to make sure all the kids get here on time. The building itself is straightforward and functional. We don't have any interest in being a corporate entity; we’re just a school run by people who live nearby. There’s always a list of chores to do, from mowing the patches of grass to updating the notice boards. Sometimes the internet is a bit slow because of where we’re located, but we manage. The staff works hard, and we all know each other’s names. We don’t have any grand mission statements or anything like that to show off. We just show up, teach the classes, and go home. It’s a practical way of doing things. In the rainy season, the road can get a bit muddy, but that’s just part of life out here in Olpad. We just keep things moving and hope for a good breeze through the open windows during the afternoon.
