Jubilee English Medium School

Jubilee English Medium School is located in Gnanapuram, which is a busy little pocket of Visakhapatnam. Being near the railway side of things, we get a lot of noise from the trains passing by, but after a while, you stop noticing it. The building is tucked away in a spot that can be a bit tricky to find if you aren't local to the 530004 area code. It is a sturdy old building, though it gets quite hot in the afternoons when the sea breeze doesn't reach us. We have a lot of stairs, and the kids are always running up and down them despite us telling them to slow down. The classrooms are basic with fans that creak a bit when they are on full speed. Most of our staff live nearby, so we see each other at the local market too. We don't have a big fancy field, just a small area where the kids play. In the mornings, there is a lot of chatter as parents drop their children off on scooters. The gates are usually open early. We keep things pretty straightforward here without any big talk. It is just about getting the students through their lessons and making sure they are safe until their parents come back at four. You can smell the salt in the air on some days, reminding us how close we are to the coast. It’s a decent place to be for both students and staff.
