Model English Night High School & Jr. College , Estd 1950, Aided From 1968

Our school is right there on Mahilashram Road in Matunga, near King’s Circle. It’s been around since 1950, which is a really long time if you think about it. Since 1968, the government has been helping us out with some funds. Being a night school is different from the usual places. We open up when most other schools are closing their doors for the day. You see people coming in after they finish their work shifts. Some are tired but they still want to get their high school or junior college certificate. Mumbai is a busy city and Matunga is always noisy with traffic, but inside the classrooms, it gets a bit quieter. The desks have been used by so many people over the years, they have that worn-out look. We have some old fans that rattle a bit when they're on full speed. It’s not a fancy private school with air conditioning, just a regular place for people who need to study at night. Sometimes the street lights outside flicker while we’re in the middle of a lesson. We’ve seen many generations pass through these halls since the fifties. It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes in the corridors, but everyone manages. The staff knows most of the students by name because they see them every evening. It’s just a plain building with a lot of history and late nights. It doesn't look like much from the road, but there is a lot of hard work happening inside.
