The Story of Sherwood High
RANKED AMONGST THE BEST SCHOOLS IN BANNERGHATTA ROAD, BANGALORE
On the cusp of its 13th anniversary, we are well and truly the Sherwood High Community today. Let us give you a glimpse of our story so far.
A decade ago, Sherwood High was established with a simple vision of creating a school that focussed on the idea of a community that was Indian at heart, before it was anything else. It is towards this idea, that the school has blossomed into what it is today – a home away from home for its students, as well as for those, who shape the minds of our learners within its portals.
Identified amongst the best schools in South Bangalore, Sherwood High’s philosophy of ‘Education by Inspiration’ has driven us to create a community that remains rooted to its traditions and culture while also imbibing universal values to become responsible citizens of tomorrow.
“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable” – Christopher Reeve.
The vision of the Board Members of the Emmar Charitable Trust (Regd.), has always been to create an alma mater that learners, parents and educators would be proud to be associated with. Each day, the focus is not only on achieving academic excellence in an encouraging environment but also ensuring the overall development of a child’s personality. Living true to the School’s motto, Learn. Lead. Succeed., our learners are encouraged to explore diverse interests, master their inclinations and share their dexterity for their personal growth as well as the welfare of those around them, all while keeping in mind values of compassion and empathy.
Learning at Sherwood High is the culmination of several bits of intelligence. Here is a school that believes in providing the best academic infrastructure and environment to hone young minds and give their formative years the right direction. The attention to detail is visible in every aspect of the classrooms and the campus. All the staff, teaching and non-teaching come together seamlessly to create a learning experience, unlike any other.
A true proponent of equal opportunities, free-ships and scholarships are an integral part of the education system at Sherwood High. We have always believed that the nurturing of every child and their potential should be on an equal platform, irrespective of stature.
When you interact with our teachers, you will instantly feel the spirit of dedication that they operate with. They are often known to go above and beyond for their students. Always with a keen eye to recognize budding talent, our educators form the very foundation of Sherwood High’s strong bonding with its students, while they are with us, and even once they graduate.
Book a school tour now and we wholeheartedly welcome you and your child to this wonderful community that we have nurtured.
The Sherwood High Logo
The Sherwood High school emblem embodies our identity. The ‘Tree of Life’ is symbolic of how all beings on this earth are interconnected. No one being can remain independent of the other. The tree also indicates the seamless education system that Sherwood High has created – one that nurtures while disseminating knowledge. Creativity and discipline are depicted in the colors beige and blue, also the colours of the school. And the Earth symbolizes the well-rounded educational environment that the Sherwood High community is known for. It also gives you a glimpse of the world that our students will inherit and lead in the future.
The Sherwood High Vision
Sherwood High aims to embody universality in its approach to its students. This, the school believes, is the hallmark of the leaders of tomorrow – all of whom approach their duties and responsibilities, personal and to society, without any discrimination. Everyone at the school works in tandem with one another to ensure that this belief is fostered among the students as they grow and learn through a campus built for excellence, with its well-trained faculty working on a curriculum which aims at holistic personality development, by providing the right learning environment for our learners.

We help them learn the new, lead their peers, and achieve success on their mettle.

Greetings from Sherwood High!
It gives me immense pleasure to be a part of the Sherwood High Community, where every member is treated with courtesy and respect. What sets us apart is the fact that we are a school that believes that every child is unique and has the potential to become better versions of themselves, with constant encouragement and proper guidance.
As Aristotle rightly puts it, “Excellence is never by accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution”, with this in mind, we at Sherwood High, strive for excellence in all that we undertake – be it the teaching methodologies that we adopt, the learning environment that we provide or the learning experiences that we engage in with the children. We believe that achieving excellence is a process. A process best defined by the school motto – Learn, Lead, Succeed – through which we nurture future-ready citizens equipped to face the challenges of tomorrow.
An important aspect of learning is to learn through the lives of others – the hardships they have faced, the lives they have led, and their success stories. It is crucial that as a community, we teach our young Sherwoodians to appreciate the little things and acknowledge that life need not always be comfortable. In line with this, we have chosen the theme for the Academic Year 2023-24 as ‘Unwavered – An Ode to the Tribes of India’.
We as a school would like to dedicate this academic year to the unwavering spirit of the tribes of India who have stood the test of time. Through activities that will be conducted throughout the year, we wish to help our students understand the different facets of these tribes. Through this, we intend to teach our students the importance of empathy, inclusion, and above all the need to inculcate an indomitable spirit and to be zealous to achieve the impossible.
I thank our dear parents and guardians on behalf of Sherwood High for choosing us as partners to help in the all-round development of your child. It is my sincere wish that every Sherwoodian has a fruitful and memorable schooling experience.

Greetings!
I feel privileged to be a member of the Sherwood community where every person is treated with dignity and respect.
It is wonderful to have children back in school again. Children have lost two precious years of their schooling to the pandemic. For every child, irrespective of the grade they belong to, this is a phase of transition. One that is filled with new challenges to cope with.
We all have now come to terms with the fact that change is something that we have to constantly deal with. But coping with change is not always easy. In line with this, we have chosen the theme for the Academic Year 2022-23 as ‘The Renewal – Nurturing Resilience through Connection’. The pandemic has taught us a lot of lessons. We have realised that it is impossible for us to predict what the future holds for us. It is therefore important for us to equip our students to be resilient individuals. By this, we would enable them to face the uncertainties of the future. It is the need of the hour for us to encourage students to cherish their successes, while at the same time guide them to handle failures with grace.
At Sherwood, we believe that school life is far more than just academics. The school achieves its motto – Learn. Lead. Succeed. when every child succeeds to achieve being the best version of themselves in everything they do – be it academics, sports or other extracurricular activities.
School in fact is a miniature of society. Hence, schooling would be incomplete without catering to the social-emotional well being of our students. The activities planned at Sherwood High help develop social competence and pro-social values, make students understand their purpose in life, be optimistic in their approach to solving complex problems and help them build effective coping mechanisms when faced with a challenging situation.
I thank our dear parents and guardians on behalf of Sherwood High for choosing us as partners to help in the all round development of your child. It is my sincere wish that every Sherwoodian has a fruitful and memorable schooling experience.
