Devi Academy Matric Higher Secondary School

Devi Academy is located over in Valasaravakkam, right on Alapakkam Road in the Alwarthirunagar area. We’ve been at this 1/E address for a long time now. It’s a school, so you can probably imagine what the daily life is like—lots of uniforms, bells ringing all the time, and teachers rushing to get to their next class. We follow the matriculation system here for our students. The building itself has seen a lot of different classes pass through its doors over the years. It’s a bit of a maze if you aren’t used to the layout, with different wings for the younger kids and the higher secondary students. We don’t have a massive budget for fancy decorations, so the walls are mostly covered in student drawings and old notices that have been there for months. Our playground isn’t very huge, but it’s where all the noise and action happens during the lunch breaks. The staff room is usually a bit of a mess with stacks of notebooks and half-empty tea cups, which is pretty normal for a busy school like ours. Parents come in and out all day long to talk about their kids or to settle things with the office staff. We try to keep things running on time, but with so many children, there’s always something unexpected happening that slows us down. It’s just a regular, hardworking school where we focus on the syllabus and making sure the kids behave themselves.
