Silver Oaks International School
Sarjapur, Bangalore
9 Year Saga
Silver Oaks was born in 2002 with an aspiration to create an eco-system for inspired learning.
As School we want to groom young people as caring hearts and inspiring minds with respect for human values and the home planet whose knowledge will be a natural coincidence.
How do we do it? Society is looking at schools through a different lens! Our dichotomy was if schools have to just teach skills for livelihood who will teach human values? In a society who has the responsibility of generating values? families? organisations? Institutions? govt?
With uniformity in objectives, clothes, timings and tasks it is only a school who has the privilege and responsibility of value generation.
With that conviction Silver Oaks assumed the responsibility of Value generation along with imparting knowledge. Today Silver Oaks is one of the best school in Bangalore.
