Jay Kishan School

Our school sits right in the middle of Shree Hari Society, just off the Mavdi Main Road here in Rajkot. If you know the Rajdeep Society 3 area, we are just a short walk from the main crossing. It’s a busy part of town, so there is always the sound of scooters and rickshaws passing by outside our walls. We have been at this 16, Shree Hari Society spot for quite some time now. The mornings are usually the most hectic part of the day when the gates open and the street gets crowded. We don’t have a massive campus, but we use every bit of space we have for the classrooms and the small yard. Inside, the walls are painted in standard colors and the hallways stay busy between periods. Most of the staff live nearby, so we often walk or take a short ride to work. We spend our time checking notebooks, talking to parents who drop by, and making sure the water coolers are filled. Rajkot weather can be tough, especially when the dry heat hits in May, so we try to keep the rooms as cool as possible. It’s a very local feel here. Everyone in the neighborhood knows the school and the staff. We don’t go for anything too flashy; it’s just about getting the work done and making sure the kids have their books. When the day ends at 16, Shree Hari Society, we lock the gates and head home.
