St Andrews High School

We’ve been here on Synagogue Street for a long time now. If you walk through Camp in the morning, you’ll hear the kids before you see the building. It’s always a bit of a squeeze with the traffic out front on 11 Synagogue Street, but we make it work somehow. The building itself has seen better days, maybe, but the walls are thick and keep things cool enough during those hot Pune Aprils. We have teachers who started here when they were practically kids themselves and now they’re seeing the children of their first students come through the gates. It’s not fancy. We don't have a huge playground, but the kids find space to run around during the short breaks. Usually, the bell rings and there’s that big rush of shoes on the stairs. We spend a lot of time just keeping things organized, making sure everyone is where they should be. Parents drop by to talk about fees or uniforms, and we sit in the office with the fan humming overhead. It’s just how it goes here every day. Sometimes the rain gets a bit much and we have to watch the roof, but mostly it's just the usual noise of lessons and pens scratching on paper. It's a busy corner of Pune, and we've just become part of the neighborhood over the years. Nothing too complicated about it, just a school doing its thing.
