St. Michael'S School

If you take the road toward Itki, you’ll see St. Michael's School sitting there. It is a familiar spot for people in this part of Ranchi. The 835301 area is a bit quieter than the main city center, which is nice for a school setting. We have a decent amount of space where the children can line up for the morning prayers. The building is made of sturdy brick and has several floors that we have to climb multiple times a day. My legs usually feel it by the time Friday rolls around. We don’t have fancy air conditioning or anything like that, just big windows that we open to let the breeze in. Sometimes insects fly in during the monsoon season, and it becomes a bit of a distraction for the younger ones. We have a small office where we keep all the files in metal cabinets. It is a bit cramped when more than two parents come in at once to talk about fees or grades. The playground gets quite muddy when it rains heavily, so we have to keep the kids inside during recess. That is when the noise really picks up. It is just a normal school where local kids come to learn their subjects. We try to keep the clocks running on time, but sometimes they drift a few minutes. It is a practical place for practical people who live and work in the Itki area.
