The Oxford School

The Oxford School is located in Kallattumukku, which is part of the Manacaud area in Thiruvananthapuram. It is a quiet enough spot compared to the very center of the city, but it still has its own life. The school sits behind a gate that stays open during the day for visitors and staff. You can see the green trees around the property, which is nice when the Kerala sun gets too hot. The building is designed with wide corridors to let the air circulate, which is necessary during the humid months. Inside, the rooms are filled with the usual school stuff—desks, chairs, and cupboards full of books. We don’t go for anything too flashy or modern. It is a practical space for kids to spend their day. The teachers here arrive early, often carrying their lunch bags and umbrellas because the weather in Trivandrum can change so fast. There is a small playground where the grass grows quickly after the rains. You can hear the sound of the students talking and the teachers giving instructions from the street if you walk by at the right time. We just follow the standard school year and try to keep things running smoothly without any major hiccups. It is a local place for local families, and we like to keep the atmosphere honest and down-to-earth. The days go by pretty quickly once the first bell rings and the students start arriving in the morning hours.
