Essay on My School

My school is like a second home to me. It stands on the main road, a short walk from my house. It has a three-storey building, a wide playground and a small garden near the gate. The classrooms are bright, with big windows and neat rows of desks. We have a library, a computer room and a science laboratory. The day begins with the morning assembly, where we pray, sing the national anthem and hear the news of the day. Our teachers explain the lessons patiently and care about each child. Besides studies, we have games, music, art and a yearly sports day and annual function. My school has taught me discipline, friendship and good manners. I love my school and try to keep it clean.

A school is a temple of learning. It is the place where a child grows from a toddler holding a parent's finger into a confident young person. I have been studying in my school since nursery, and it has become a part of my life.

My school is in the middle of the town, away from the noise of the market. It has a large building painted in cream and brown, with a garden in front and a playground behind. As we enter the gate, we see a board with the thought for the day. There are more than thirty classrooms, each with a blackboard, a display board for our charts and big windows that let in light and air.

The school has all the facilities a student needs. The library has story books, magazines and reference books, and we get one library period every week. In the science laboratory we do simple experiments that make the textbook come alive. The computer room has enough computers for every child to practise. There is also a music room, an art room and a hall for functions.

The heart of a school is its teachers. Ours are well qualified, punctual and caring. They make sure that even the last bench understands the lesson. The principal knows many students by name and takes a round of the classes every day.

My school believes that studies alone do not make a complete person. So we have a games period, yoga, and clubs for debate, dance, science and gardening. We celebrate Independence Day, Republic Day, Teachers' Day and Children's Day. The annual sports day and the annual function are the two events we wait for all year.

Discipline is the first lesson here. We come on time, wear a clean uniform, stand in a line and keep the classroom tidy. These small habits will stay with us for life.

I owe a great deal to my school. It has given me knowledge, friends and good values. I am proud to be its student, and I hope that one day my school will be proud of me.
