Optimist Academy

You can find Optimist Academy up on the third floor of Hiravanti Chamber. It is located in the Karelibaug area of Vadodara, right at number 10. The stairs can be a bit of a climb, but there is an elevator if it's working that day. We have been in this building for a decent amount of time. It’s a busy commercial complex, so there is always something going on downstairs. Our space is mostly taken up by desks and chairs for the students. It isn't a polished office with leather sofas; it's more of a place where people actually get things done. We spend our mornings getting the rooms ready and our evenings finishing up lessons. The view from the third floor is just the rooftops of Karelibaug, but it’s nice to have some light coming in through the windows. We aren't a big corporation with departments. Usually, you just talk to whoever is sitting at the front table. We try to keep things organized, though sometimes papers pile up when we are busy. People find us because they live nearby or heard about us from a friend. We don't do much in the way of sales pitches. If someone needs help with their studies, they just come up and ask us. It’s a straightforward way to run an academy. We are just local people trying to make sure students have a decent place to learn without any extra fuss.
