CELEBRATING 20 SUCCESSFUL YEARS

Sweet Memories High School & Jr. College, presiding atop the exotic hillstation of Panchgani, in

Maharashtra is a pure veg residential school with excellent infrastructure and teaching facilities. Located only 100kms from Pune amidst untouched hills and waterfalls, enriches the learning experi-ence of every student.

Says the administrator, Chandra Shah, “When a parent hands over their children to us, it becomes a big responsi-bility at our end, unlike day schooling, where the child is returning back home in the evening. Our moto is to be a home away from home, where children are nurtured in a safe and trusted environ-ment". This well justifies their tag line "WE DO NOT ADMIT YOU, WE ADOPT YOU".

Through her very hardwork and dedi-cation, Chandra Shah, popularly know as ‘Aunty’ to the children, parents and staff, has built a reputation of trust and belongingness with them all. The home-ly environment of the school plays a very important role in creating the fam-ilylike atmosphere which commercial schools lack.

The school offers primary and sec-ondary education in CBSE board. The Jr.College offers classes for 11th and 12th Standard. The school owns a fully A/C auditorium where various programmes are conducted through the year. Modern E-learning facilities, Design and Technology Lab and a range of co-cur-ricular and sports activities like, Volleyball, badminton, carom, chess,

football, basketball, cricket, etc, State and national quiz competitions are conducted through the year. Having affiliations with popular dance and music acade-mies in Mumbai, the students get a chance to learn the talent from experts.

The student teacher ratio is strictly maintained at 10:1 as also separate hos-tel facilities are available for boys and girls. The principal Ajay Sonawane along with other highly talented staff members define the values, discipline and the impeccable school culture.

Their dedication is seen each year as the school excels with an unbreakable record of result at the board exams till date.

Spiritual education to strengthen the value system in children is interweaved with the formal education to give a holistic approach. The school aslo encourages and involves students in social service activities done in associa-tion with NGO’S and visits to orphan-ages and nearby villages. Thus, chil-dren from SMHS reflect a personality

filled with self-confidence and imbibed with a spirit of service towards man-kind.
