The Non formal school, Shanti Niketan, which was closed for the summer has had a lot of activity even though the school will officially be opened only in the first week of June. All the teachers and staff are back at the school preparing the syllabus and work assignments for the coming academic year. The Director has also had a very busy time with the new admissions. The children who have been given admission in the Homes of El Shaddai are also taken to the school for an entrance exam prior to admission in school. This is so that the teacher may know the grade that child has to be admitted to. Many of the parents and also the Home Incharges have gone to the school with their children and wards seeking admittance in the Shanti Niketan School.

The classrooms have been cleaned and arranged and also the charts and the study material has gone up on the walls and other assigned places. The stationery has been sorted out and arranged grade wise. The teachers and staff are now waiting for the most important aspect that will make the school have meaning….the children who are the students, who make teaching the best vocation.
