Sherwood College established 1869, is a boarding school, established by the British in India to educate British boys and the Indian elite during the Raj. Today it is co-educational boarding school, with a smattering of girls to even things out. [1]
It is located on Ayarpatta Hill in Nainital, Uttarakhand, nestled between the hills bordering the reserve forest and the Governor's golf links. [1]
The school follows the ICSE system, and the school year runs from early March to early December with a 3 week summer break in June after Founders' Week (30th May-5th June). [1]
At Sherwood, emphasis has always been placed on an all-round education, which means that apart from academics, it is mandatory for all students to participate in sports and extra-curricular cultural activities, such as theatre, music (both Indian and Western), fine arts, elocution, debating, and bi-annual group excursions out of town, etc. [1]
Sherwood has long been known for the high quality of its football and cricket teams. The school is equipped with tennis, basketball, squash, and indoor badminton courts, as well as a swimming pool (dug by the students themselves in 1954!) and a large playground that doubles as sports field and venue for the annual school fête - much looked forward to by all! [1]
The chapel (dedicated to Saint Barnabas) is situated on the front 'quad' or quadrangle, which faces an extraordinary panorama of the Kumaon hills descending into the Terai (the plains). [1]
