St Josephs Girls Higher Secondary School

St Josephs Girls Higher Secondary School is right in the middle of Choolai. The address is No 124, Kalathiyappa Street. If you know Chennai, you know that Choolai is a very busy and crowded area. Kalathiyappa Street is no exception, with bikes and pedestrians everywhere. The school is for girls, and we have many of them coming here every single day. The building is quite old and has a lot of character. You can hear the noise of the city from the classrooms, but the girls are used to it by now. We have high ceilings and large windows to help with the Chennai heat. It is a secondary school, so the students are a bit older and they are very focused on their studies. There is always a lot of pressure around exam time. We have a lot of teachers who have been here for decades. They know the families in the area very well. The school doesn't have a lot of extra space, so every corner is used for something, whether it is for books or equipment. We just follow the government syllabus and try to get everyone through their classes. It is a solid, old-fashioned school in a busy part of the city. People know the name St Josephs around here because we have been on this street for such a long time and the gates stay busy.
