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.
