The Story of Sherwood High Community

One of the Best Schools in Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore

On the cusp of its 10th anniversary, we are well and truly the Sherwood High Community today. Let us give you a glimpse into what has been our story.

A decade ago, Sherwood High began with a simple vision of creating a universal 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 these youngsters within its portals.

Rated amongst the best schools in south Bangalore, Sherwood High’s ‘Education by Inspiration’ has enhanced the identity of our students as ideal Indian citizens and inculcated universal values of peace to become a progressive citizen rooted in Indian values and global outlook.

“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 Trust (Regd), was always to create an alma mater that both, students and their parents, would be proud to be associated with. Each day, the focus is not only academic excellence in a non-stressful environment but the overall development of a child’s personality. Counted amongst the top schools in Bangalore, our students are imbued with the values of caring and respect. Their creativity and natural penchant for innovation are encouraged on a regular basis. All this, in keeping with the school motto of Learn-Lead-Succeed.

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 with their students and that’s why we call them mentors. Always with a keen eye to recognize budding talent, our mentors form the very foundation of Sherwood High’s strong bonding with its students, while they are with us, and even once they graduate.

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

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
~ Nelson Mandela

 

Vision 2020 is the continuous endeavour of Sherwood High management to provide quality education and world-class school infrastructure, which originated in 2010. The love and faith of parents and the dedication of our students have brought us this far.

The Sherwood High Mission

Ranked amongst the best schools near Bannerghatta road, 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

Spread over 5 acres of land, Sherwood High provides a campus and infrastructure that is quintessential to the holistic growth of a child. Be it academics or extra-curricular activities, the school will constantly upgrade itself to provide the best for its students.

With its handpicked faculty

Students deserve to have a hand that nurtures them. Teaching is an avocation for our faculty. We believe in working with teachers who are experts in their fields and who anticipate the needs of children. Their expertise will be a constant source of confidence to the children they teach.

Through grounded personality development

At Sherwood High the aim is to help students reach their full potential. Developing dimensions of their personality such as caring, respect, and spiritual growth is what will help them become true leaders of tomorrow.

By encouraging healthy competition

We want to constantly encourage children’s participation in a range of activities - academic and extra-curricular. This will help nurture their sense of competition. It is what they will have to face in the future and we prepare them to be graceful in defeat and in success.

WHY CHOOSE SHERWOOD HIGH

Message from the Principal

It’s a deep privilege and honour to be on board of a respected and reputed institution like Sherwood High that has already created a positive influence in the minds of children and parents. As the new Principal, all my actions will be directed to take the school to greater heights and ensure that learning will be truly a joyful experience.

Teaching and working closely with children of all age groups is what I enjoy; this continues to be my passion and will remain my passion.

As we complete a decade, I truly believe that success comes to those who work hard and who don’t rest on the laurels of the past.

At Sherwood High, we will continue to strive harder and move forward by adapting to the new normal.

2020 has been quite challenging for all, more so for the teaching community. In such uncertain times, we have noticed how the traditional classroom style of learning has evolved into online teaching and learning. The teaching staff has taken a tremendous effort to adapt to the digitized world, from learning to use the technology to teach the students so that the chain of learning is not broken. Our trained and experienced teaching staff at Sherwood High is passionate and highly committed to building a positive relationship with their students thereby unlocking their hidden potential.

What also remains constant is our endeavour to serve our students and the community with dedication and passion unparalleled. We believe that the objective is not to just apprise but also to empower and evolve. Here, we ensure that students make a smooth transition from dependence to independence through our philosophy “Learn. Lead. Succeed”. Learning as we all know is a lifelong process and we at Sherwood always strive to secure the emotional and social well-being of our students. This year we plan to host a series of webinars to help them enhance their skills in various spheres and thereby help them sail through these turbulent times to succeed in life.

I look forward to your continued support to carry out my duties whole-heartedly with dedication and uphold the philosophy of Sherwood High. We are open to suggestions and ideas that can help us enhance the value of our school.

Sherwood High Academic Director Mrs. Agnes Davies

From the Academic Director’s Desk

The academic session 2019-20 commemorates the 150th birth anniversary of our inspiring Father of the nation and iconic leader of non-violence. The journey of Mahatma Gandhi reminds humanity of harmonious coexistence and individual freedom. His epic vision and the charisma of the story our independence refracted in different spectrums gives a vitality to the present and future of our nation.

The theme of the academic session is “Itihaas” which is our tribute to Gandhiji. Every Sherwoodian will have an enhanced identity as an Indian citizen and inculcate universal values of peace to become a progressive citizen rooted in Indian values and global outlook.

We hope every student at Sherwood High, Bangalore, is the high and harbinger of a better future. Each milestone along the Sherwood High journey is a pursuit of excellence.

Warm Regards
Mrs. Agnes Davies
