Ivy League Academy

Out in Shamirpet, away from the main rush of Hyderabad, you’ll find our academy. Being in the Rangareddy district gives us a lot more space than schools in the city center. It’s a bit of a drive to get out here, but once you are on the campus, it’s much more peaceful. We have a lot of trees and a good amount of ground for the students to use. Since it’s a residential place for many, the atmosphere is a bit different; it feels more like a small village sometimes. The mess hall is a busy spot three times a day, and the food is just standard home-style cooking. Nothing fancy, but it fills you up and keeps you going. The dorms are basic and kept as clean as you can expect with a bunch of teenagers living in them. We spend a lot of time making sure the schedule is followed, from early morning wake-up calls to lights out at night. It’s a lot of responsibility looking after kids twenty-four hours a day, and the staff here works hard to keep things in order. We don't have a lot of high-gloss brochures; we just focus on the day-to-day life of the students. It’s a place to study and live without too many distractions from the outside world. Often, you can see the sun setting over the trees, which is a nice way to end the day.
