Rising Star School

Rising Star School is located on the first floor of the Sangam Complex, right on Chicken Ghar Road. This part of Khadakpada-Kalyan City in Thane is always active, so there is plenty of noise from the street coming through the windows. We have a handful of classrooms where we teach the local students. The space isn't huge, so we have to be careful about how we move the furniture around. We’ve been here long enough that we know most of the shopkeepers downstairs and the parents who live in the nearby buildings. Every morning involves getting the chalk ready and making sure the water filter is filled. We don't have any big marketing team or anything like that. It’s just us teachers and a couple of helpers who keep the place running. The desks are simple wooden ones, and we try to keep the walls clean, though kids always find a way to leave marks. During the rainy season, it can get a bit damp, but we just keep the windows shut and carry on with the lessons. We follow the standard books and try to make sure everyone understands the math and languages. It is a straightforward operation without any hidden frills. We don't talk about being the leaders in anything. We just focus on the daily tasks and making sure the students finish their homework and learn what they need to for their exams.
