S V Vakil Madhyamik School

S V Vakil Madhyamik School sits along Causeway Road in Joravarnagar. It’s a busy part of the Surendra Nagar-Gujarat region, so there is always some noise from the street outside. You can hear the rickshaws and the motorbikes going past while the lessons are happening. Our address is specifically on Causeway Road, and the zip code is 363020. The school itself is a sturdy building that has handled a lot of traffic over the decades. We have students coming in from all the nearby lanes. It’s a simple setup where we focus on the basic secondary education. We don't have a huge staff, so everyone ends up doing a bit of everything, from fixing a broken chair to organizing the morning prayers. The windows are usually left open to catch whatever breeze comes off the road, even if it brings a little noise with it. Our staff room is small and usually crowded with notebooks that need grading. We don't put much effort into looking like a big corporation because that’s just not who we are. We are a local school for local families. Most of the parents know us by name, and we see them at the market or around town all the time. It’s that kind of place. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs doing every single day to keep the doors open for the next generation.
