Arqam High School

Arqam High School is located at Door No 18-13-8/41 in Rahmat Colony. This part of Bandlaguda in Hyderabad is always full of life, and the school is no different. We have a lot of students packed into our building, so things can get pretty loud during the breaks. It’s a high school, so the teenagers are always running around or standing in groups talking. The rooms are basic, with just the essentials for teaching. We don’t go in for much decoration or fancy stuff. It’s mostly just whiteboards and wooden benches. The staff room is a small space where we try to organize our notes, but it’s usually a bit of a mess with textbooks everywhere. Hyderabad weather can be tough, so we make sure the fans are always spinning. Parents are often coming in and out to check on how their kids are doing or to pay the monthly fees. We know most of the families in Rahmat Colony by now. It’s a neighborhood school through and through. We don't have a giant campus with a stadium, but we manage with what we have. Every morning starts with a bit of a rush at the entrance. We just aim to get the kids through their lessons and out the door safely at the end of the day. It’s honest work and keeps us all very busy. We take things one day at a time here.
