Kunigal Valley International Residential School

We are located out in Gottikere, right off BM Road in Kunigal. It's a bit of a drive from the main town, near Bidinigere Post. Since it’s a residential school, the kids stay here with us throughout the term. The campus is tucked away in the valley area, so it's fairly quiet compared to the city. We have students coming from different parts of Tumkur and even further away. The dorms are basic but they do the job. We eat together in the mess hall. The food is simple, mostly local stuff. Sometimes the kids miss home, so we try to keep them busy with sports or books. We have a lot of space out here for them to run around. It's not a luxury setup, just a place where students live and learn. We follow the international curriculum, which keeps the teachers busy with paperwork. The weather in Kunigal is usually okay, though the rains can make the grounds muddy. We spend a lot of time outside when the sun is out. Teachers stay on campus too, so we're all living in the same spot. It’s a long day starting early in the morning with prayers and ending late with study sessions. We don't have all the high-tech gadgets you see in city schools, but we make do with what we have. It’s a community here in the valley. We try to keep things running even when the power goes out.
