I joined Sahyadri in Grade 8, and over the years, it has become much more than just a place of education. Now, as a Grade 12 student, I can look back on how Sahyadri has helped me academically, personally, and socially. I chose Sahyadri because of its unique approach to education and its focus on overall well-being. The school’s emphasis on independent thinking has helped me question, explore, and think critically. Sahyadri also gives equal importance to my non-academic experiences and has instilled in me a greater appreciation for the natural world. My years here have prepared me for life beyond school.

Over the years, I have actively participated in a wide range of academic, cultural, and extracurricular activities. I have had the opportunity to perform sitar recitals and participate in school plays. I have also been involved in sports, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) activities, assemblies, excursions, and numerous hikes, including a Himalayan trek. As a member of the Student Council, I served as Head of the Cultural Committee for a term and contributed to the school newsletter. I was also part of the farewell decorations team.

Academically, I have participated in the IOQM and NSEJS examinations.
