Adarash Montessori Junior High School

You’ll find us at E 28 in ONGC Nagar, right off Arjun Ashram Road in Ranip. It’s a residential neighborhood, so it’s usually a bit quieter than being right on a main road. We’ve got the junior high students here, and the building has been part of this community for a long time. It’s a bit of an older structure, but it’s sturdy and has plenty of space for the different classes. We don't really have a lot of modern glass walls or anything like that. It’s more about the practical side of things—desks, chairs, and enough light to see the books. The parents around Ranip appreciate that we’re right in their backyard. We see a lot of the same faces every year as younger siblings move up into the junior high levels. There’s a small area where the kids hang out during their breaks. It gets a bit lively around noon when everyone is eating. We try to keep things moving along a schedule, but sometimes things run late, especially when there's a local event or a holiday coming up. We’re just a local school doing the best we can with what we have. It’s a comfortable place for the students, and we’ve gotten used to the rhythm of the school year in this part of Ahmedabad. The morning bell is always the signal for everything to get started, and we just go from there until the day is done.
