Al Jaffer Public School

You can find us at Villa No.19 in Manasarover Phase 1, which is inside Leela Gardens. Being in Trimulgherry means we are in a fairly quiet spot compared to the main roads of Hyderabad. The school is basically a house that we use for classes, so it has that lived-in feeling. We have desks set up in the different rooms, and the villa layout makes it feel a bit more private for the students. There is a small garden area outside where the kids gather during their breaks. It's not a huge playground, but they make it work. Most of the parents live nearby, so they just walk their kids over in the morning. We see the same neighbors every day while we are opening up the gates. Sometimes the gate squeaks a bit, and we keep meaning to oil it. Inside, it smells like old paper and maybe a bit of floor cleaner. We don't use a lot of big words or have complicated rules. We just follow the schedule and make sure the kids are doing their homework. In the afternoons, the sun hits the front porch, and it’s a good place to stand for a minute while waiting for the buses. It's just a small, local public school. We do our work, the kids learn their lessons, and then everyone goes home to their families when the day is done. It is a simple routine that we have followed for years.
