New City Convent Higher Secondary School

Down at 287A in Iyangar Kulam, that’s where you’ll find New City Convent Higher Secondary School. Ayyangarkulam is a place with its own pace, and we fit right into it here in Kanchipuram. We deal with students from all sorts of backgrounds. The school is a higher secondary institution, so we have the older kids who are getting ready for their exams and the younger ones who are still just figuring out how to sit still in a chair. It’s a big age gap to handle, but we manage. The building itself is sturdy. It has seen its fair share of rain and sun over the years. We don't have a lot of fancy decorations on the walls, just the stuff the kids make and the usual charts for lessons. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just keep going with the windows open. It’s a very local feel. We aren't trying to impress anyone with big words or polished speeches. We just want to make sure the students learn what they need to. The gates open at the same time every morning, and the routine stays the same. People around here know the 631502 area well, and they know we are just part of the landscape. It’s a lot of hard work, but when you see the kids graduating, it feels like we did something right. Just a regular school doing regular things in Iyangar Kulam.
