Ryan International School

We’ve been here at Plot No-4 in Noida Extension for a while now. Most days start pretty early when the buses pull in and the gates open up. You can hear the kids running around before the first bell even rings. It’s a big building, and sometimes it feels like a lot to keep track of, but we manage. The staff room is always a bit of a mess with papers and half-finished coffee cups. We spend a lot of time just making sure the classrooms are ready and the lights are working. Noida has grown so much around us lately, with all these new apartments popping up everywhere. It used to be much quieter out here. Now there’s more traffic on the roads, especially in the afternoons when everyone is heading home. Inside the walls, it’s just the usual school stuff. Teachers trying to get through the lessons while the kids look out the window. We have a playground that gets quite dusty when the wind picks up. Sometimes the printer jams right when you need it most. It’s just how things go. We try to keep the place tidy, but with so many students, there’s always a stray lunch box or a sweater left behind somewhere. It's a busy place, and by the time the last gate closes, we’re all pretty tired and ready to head back to our own homes in the neighborhood.
