About Silver Oak.
Silver Oak Public School is a co-educational, English-medium CBSE school on a 4-acre campus in Baner, Pune. It is run by the Silver Oak Education Society, a registered non-profit trust, and is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi.
The school opened in 1998 with 40 students and now teaches 1,240 across Nursery to Class XII. We follow the NCERT curriculum and the CBSE assessment pattern, and we cap every class at 22 students.
What we work towards.
Curious, capable citizens
To send out young people who think for themselves, work with others, and carry their learning into the world.
Small classes, trained teachers
To keep classes small, teachers well trained, and assessment honest, so every child is known by name.
Learn, Serve, Lead
The three words on our crest, in that order.
What we hold to.
Honesty
In assessment, in reporting results, and in what we tell parents.
Respect
For every child, family, and member of staff, whatever their background.
Effort
We reward the work, not only the outcome.
Service
Every senior class runs a community project through the year.
Twenty-seven years in Pune.
The school was founded in 1998 by a group of teachers who wanted a school run by educators rather than administrators. CBSE affiliation was granted in 2004. The senior-school block was added in 2011 and the science wing in 2016.
From the Chairperson.
We built this school so that our own children would have somewhere honest to learn. That standard has not changed.
The Society reinvests every rupee of surplus into the school, its teachers, and its facilities. We publish our fees and our results in full, and we welcome parents to ask.
From the Principal.
Keep classes small, keep teachers trained, keep the door open. Most of what matters follows from those three.
I read the parent feedback myself each term. If something is not working, we would rather hear it early.
The details.
School anthem
The anthem, written by our first music teacher in 2001, is sung at the Monday assembly. The full lyrics are in the student diary.
Logo and crest
The oak on our crest stands for slow, steady growth; the open book for learning; the motto Learn, Serve, Lead runs beneath.
