St. Marys Infant U.P School

You can find us in the Avva Building on 60 Feet Road, which is in the Vinoba Nagar area of Shimoga. St. Marys Infant U.P School isn’t a giant institution, but we have a good presence here. The 60 Feet Road is usually quite busy, so there is always a bit of a buzz outside our doors. We take up a portion of the building, and it’s a lively place from morning until the mid-afternoon. The younger kids make a lot of noise, which we’ve all grown used to over the years. Our rooms are basic but functional, decorated with some drawings the students have made. It’s an honest environment where we just get on with the business of teaching. The staff knows most of the families in Vinoba Nagar by now. We don't have a lot of corporate polish here; it's more about the people and the daily interactions we have with them. Sometimes the fans are a bit squeaky and the desks show their age, but that doesn't stop the learning from happening. We spend a lot of time making sure the children are looked after and that the school day goes according to plan. It’s a local school for local people, and we like it that way. Being in the Avva Building means we are easy to find for anyone in this part of Shimoga. We just keep doing our work, day in and day out, helping the kids along with their lessons.
