Asian Christian High School

You’ll find us out on Bagalur Road, right in Jeemangalam village. It’s a bit of a drive out from the main city, which makes it a lot quieter than those schools right in the thick of things. We’ve been part of this village community for a while now. The school sits on a good piece of land. There’s usually a bit of dust because of the road, but we try to sweep it out every morning. Our classrooms are simple. We have the usual benches and chairs. The teachers here are mostly locals or people who don’t mind the commute out to the village. We focus on getting the lessons done. Sometimes the electricity goes out for an hour or two, so we just open the windows for more light. The kids here are energetic. They come in from the surrounding areas, some walking and some on bicycles. It’s a practical place. We don’t have those high-tech gadgets you see in the city schools, but our students learn what they need to. The playground gets a lot of use during the breaks. You can see the fields from some of the upstairs windows. It’s a nice view when you’re trying to concentrate on a difficult lesson. We just keep things moving along day by day. It’s a simple way to run a school and we are happy to be out here in the village. It suits us just fine.
