Santa Maria Academy International

You’ll find Santa Maria Academy International out on the Thally to Hosur Road. We are situated in Thally, which is a bit of a distance from the main Hosur hub, but it’s a nice area. The air is often a bit cooler here than in the middle of the city. We have a good amount of space for the academy. The road out front can get a bit busy with trucks and commuters, but inside the gates, it’s mostly just the sounds of the students and teachers. We’ve been here for some time now, and the local people know the building well. It’s not a fancy corporate setup. We just have the classrooms, the staff room, and a place for the kids to play during their breaks. We deal with all sorts of paperwork and daily schedules like any other place. Some of the staff live right here in Thally, while others commute from Hosur every day on their bikes. It’s a regular routine. We don't use a lot of big words to describe what we do here. We just open the doors in the morning and close them once the last bus leaves. The garden needs a bit of work during the dry season, but we try to keep some green around the entrance. It’s an honest living, looking after the kids and making sure they have their lessons. People stop by to ask about the curriculum and we just explain it simply.
