Great Indian Convent English High School

Our school is located on Street Number 2 in Shanti Nagar Colony. If you know Chhatarpur, you know it’s a fairly quiet part of town. We are a high school, so we have the older students getting ready for their big exams. It’s called Great Indian Convent English High School. Despite the long name, we’re just a local school. The building is a few stories high and faces the street. Every morning, the street gets narrow because of all the cycles and scooters. We have different rooms for different subjects. The science lab is a bit cramped but we make it work. In the winter, the sun hits the courtyard nicely and the kids like to stand there. We don't have a giant field, but the kids manage to play some games in the space we have. Most of our staff lives nearby. We talk to the parents at the gate quite often. It’s not a corporate place where you need an appointment just to say hello. We deal with the usual school stuff—lost sweaters, broken pencils, and the occasional scraped knee. We follow the English medium books because that's what the parents want for their kids' future. It’s a lot of hard work for the teachers and the students alike. We just try to keep the environment decent for everyone. That is about it for our little school in Shanti Nagar, just a place for the local kids to grow up.
