	Leader In Me
Leadership can be in-born, developed or imbibed. Different situations make people into leaders. A person who can direct himself is a leader and a person who can lead himself and others is also a leader.We in the School are aiming to groom students into young people who can first lead themselves and then others and thereby the Country. Through Independence Day celebrations, we want to teach our students that there are leaders within our known community also. They have learnt about the leaders of the world but they know little about the leadership qualities their parents possess. We want them to discover that the people they meet everyday are also leaders in some way. So we have taken the initiative of teaching our students that leaders exist amongst the parents also.

	Mantras of Mahatma
Gandhiji’s example of a congruent life is a great source of inspiration for the team @ Silver Oaks. Mahatma Gandhi said - “My life is an indivisible whole and all my actions run into one another”- we take this as a maxim and create all policies and practices of the school to develop every child with character and competence. Gandhiji’s ‘Truth’ is practiced as all ‘such positive communications which are well received by the listener Gandhiji’s ‘Ramrajya’ as guiding oneself to do the right thing 5 Mantras of Mahatma - Satyagraha Swadeshi Swaraj Sarvodaya and Swadharma - are interpreted to suit the present generation and made easy to implement in daily life.

	live life the lean way
Sustainable thinking dispositions lead to eco friendly actions Protecting the planet involves different approaches. Besides planting trees on birthdays, acorns are also encouraged to live life the lean way by buying only what is needed and not what is wanted. We attempt to make them see that celebrations and occasions are meaningful with the needy than the well fed. Efforts towards reducing consumerism, is not only to prevent wasteful expenditure but also to relieve the planet earth from unwanted materials.

	Beautiful Tree
As Gandhiji said that every village should educate its young, we as a School have assumed the responsibility of supporting the education of underprivileged children in rural areas. We believe that transformation of a country begins at grassroot levels and that is where our responsibility begins. We identified a 15 year old NGO called Rural Development Foundation which is running 5 schools and a junior college for less privileged in the rural areas. Having seen their sincerity in purpose and consistency in cause, we as a School have resolved to help them financially and pedagogically. We try to develop empathy and personal responsibility in our students towards this cause through visits to these schools. We raise funds annually to support RDF and also train their teachers continuously into qualitative teaching methods. Our acorns also educate the ayahs and drivers with basic etiquettes and positive thinking and also help in basic literacy program.
