M. A. High School

If you head over to Thuravoor, right near the post office, you will find M. A. High School. We are in the Ernakulam district and have been serving this area for a long time. The school building is an older one, and you can see the age in the walls and the roof. Since we are in Kerala, we get a lot of rain, so the grounds stay green most of the year, though they can get a bit muddy. Most of our students live nearby and either walk or ride their bicycles to get to class. The classrooms are simple and stay busy from morning until late afternoon. Our teachers are local people who have been with us for years and know the families here well. We do not have much in the way of modern technology; we mostly rely on books and blackboards. The school office is a small, cramped room filled with old wooden cupboards and stacks of paper files. You can hear the noise from the main road throughout the day, but it mostly fades into the background. During the lunch break, the yard is full of children eating and playing together. We are not trying to be a fancy international school. We are just a local high school in Thuravoor providing a place for kids to study. It is a quiet, simple life here, and we just take everything one day at a time without any fuss.
