Stellar International School

You'll find us out on Tepla Road in Basma, which is a bit of a drive out from the main parts of Chandigarh. It is actually quite nice being away from the heavy city traffic. The air feels a little different here. Our school, Stellar International, is set on a decent piece of land where there is room to breathe. We don’t have those massive skyscrapers around us, just some open space and the road heading out. Every morning, the buses pull in and the place suddenly wakes up. The staff mostly comes from the nearby towns, and we spend our breaks talking about local news or what we’re having for lunch. We try to keep the atmosphere relaxed. It’s not one of those schools where everything is stiff and formal. We have our rules, of course, but we talk to the students like they are real people. The classrooms are basic but comfortable enough. Sometimes the cows from the nearby fields wander close to the fence, which the kids find funny. We don’t spend much time on fancy presentations or marketing stuff. We are too busy keeping up with the syllabus and making sure the building stays in good shape. It’s a lot of work to run a school out here, but we have a good rhythm going now. Most days are just about showing up and doing our best.
