Gems High School

Our school is located at Door No 20-2-478 in the Korlagunta area of Tirupati - 517501. It is a very busy neighborhood with plenty of shops and people moving around all day. You can definitely hear the city sounds from the classrooms, but we’ve all gotten used to it by now. The building has a couple of floors, and the stairs are a bit narrow, so we have to remind the students to be careful when they are rushing to lunch. Most of our staff members have been working here for a long time, so they know the routine inside out. We don’t have a big, fancy lobby for visitors. There is just a simple desk at the front entrance where people have to sign the guest book. The classrooms are basic, filled with wooden benches and green boards. We spend a lot of our time making sure the students actually finish their work and don’t lose their pens. When the weather gets hot in Tirupati, the ceiling fans run all day long to keep everyone comfortable. We buy our chalk and other supplies from the local vendors down the street. Sometimes the morning assembly gets a little bit noisy, but that is expected when you have so many kids in one place. We don't do any big advertisements or flashy posters. Most of the families find out about us from their neighbors. It is just a straightforward place where we try to keep things organized and help the kids learn what they need for their exams.
