Jay Jalaram International School

We are situated right where Anand Boriavi Road meets Lambhvel Road. It’s a spot in Boriavi that stays fairly busy during the week. The school has a decent amount of space, but with all the traffic on the road outside, it feels very much part of the town's hustle. Every morning, the staff arrives and sets things up before the students start showing up. We don’t have a lot of bells and whistles, just the usual school setup you’d expect in this part of Anand. The hallways are wide enough, though they get congested when the periods change. We have a playground area that gets used a lot, especially in the cooler months. Maintenance is a constant thing here, whether it’s painting a wall or fixing a leaky tap in the washroom. The parents come by often to talk about their kids or pick up forms from the small office near the front. It’s a practical place. We don't try to make it look like something it isn't. Most of the people working here are locals who know the area well. It’s a long walk from some parts of the town, so the buses are important for getting everyone here on time. The sun hits the front of the building in the afternoon, making it quite bright. We just keep our heads down and do what needs to be done to get through the school week. It gets a bit tiring by Friday, but we just come back and start again on Monday.
