Anugragha International School

Anugragha International School sits on the Udumalpet Dharapuram Road in a place called Thungavi. If you are driving towards Udumalpet, you can’t really miss it. The road is always busy with lorries and buses, so there is a constant hum of engines in the background. We have a gated area to keep the kids safe from the traffic. The school itself is a collection of blocks with a central courtyard. It’s nothing fancy, just a place for learning. We have a lot of stairs, so we do a lot of walking every day. The teachers come in early to get their boards ready. We use a lot of chalk here, and the dust gets on everything. We don't have a lot of high-tech gadgets, just some computers in one room that we share. During the rainy season, the ground gets a bit soft and we have to be careful where we walk. We don't try to impress anyone with big words. We just teach the curriculum and make sure the students behave themselves. Most of the people working here live in Thungavi or nearby villages. We know the local shopkeepers and the bus drivers by their first names. It is a very grounded kind of place. We just focus on the daily tasks and making sure the school keeps running smoothly.
