Madhuri Mansukhlal Vasa Higher Secondary School

We are located out in Koba, which is on the way toward Gandhinagar. Being a higher secondary school means we deal with the older students who are getting ready for college or jobs. The building is tucked away a bit, but most people in the area know it. It’s a plain, functional place. We have the different streams for the students to choose from, and the teachers spend their days going through the syllabus. Koba has grown a lot lately, but the school stays pretty much the same. We have the usual labs and classrooms. It isn't a place for show. We just provide the space and the instruction that the kids need. The staff comes from all over the Gandhinagar area. We deal with the daily commute and the dusty roads like everyone else. During the breaks, the students sit outside in the shade if they can find it. We don't have a lot of extra activities; we mostly stick to the academics because that’s why people send their children here. It's a busy time of life for these teenagers, and we try to keep the environment steady for them. There’s a lot of paperwork with the higher secondary board, so the office is always full of files and registers. It’s a simple, honest school where the day-to-day work is what matters most, and we just keep our heads down and do it. It's just a regular cycle of exams and classes.
