P S A Middle School

Our school is tucked away on Godha Bazar Road in the Garha area of Jabalpur. If you know Gautam Mariya, then you know exactly where we are. P S A Middle School is a place where things are pretty straightforward. We deal with middle school kids, which means there is always a lot of energy and sometimes a bit of trouble, but that is just how it is with that age group. The building itself has been around for a bit. It’s got that old Jabalpur feel to it. We don't have those shiny glass walls you see in new offices. Instead, we have solid walls and windows that look out onto the street. You can hear the market nearby, which is quite lively most mornings. The staff here are just regular people trying to do their best. We drink a lot of chai in the staff room between classes. The kids bring their lunches and sit together during the break. It’s a noisy time, but it’s the heart of the day. We focus on the basics. Sometimes the desks get a bit wobbly and we have to fix them up ourselves. It’s just part of running a local school. We don't have a massive playground, but the kids find ways to play. It feels like a big family most of the time. We see the kids grow up fast before they move on to high school elsewhere.
