Sahyadri School

Established in the year 1995 the vision for a school in Western India became reality by the efforts of late Shri Achyut Patwardhan.

The school is located on Tiwai Hill, a plateau 770 m above sea level, overlooking the Chas-Kaman Dam in Pune.

Sahayadri School is affiliated by the CISCE (Council for the Indian schools Certificate Examination, New Delhi). Classes are intentionally small to provide individualised contact between teacher and students

All students from classes 4 to 8 receive formal training in classical music. Evening hobby classes in vocal Hindustani music, tabla and sitar are offered to interested students. The program for music also includes two or more concerts in vocal and instrumental classical Indian music as well as an informal musical evening each term.
Housed in a beautifully designed Art Complex, the Art Faculty provides a richly creative ambience for learning a wide variety of arts and craftwork. Children grow in their aesthetic sensibilities through learning sketching, painting, batik, tie and dye, pottery, clay work and weaving. In addition, workshops are held in bamboo craft, puppetry, glass painting, mask making, sculpture, Madhubani painting, and so on.Sahyadri has a vigorous physical education programme which includes facilities for a wide range of games. Football, basketball, cricket, tennis, badminton, hockey, softball, volleyball, throw ball, handball and table tennis are regularly played on campus.

Besides formal games, hikes, treks and outdoor camps are a regular feature at school.
