Chairman's Message

“By education, I mean an all-round drawing of the best in child and man in body, mind and spirit” - Mahatma Gandhi
 
Motivated by these inspirational words from the Mahatma, we at Dr.Antonio da Silva (High School and Junior College of Commerce, Technical High School and Junior College of Science) have made it our mission to accept and appreciate the needs of our students in the context of their circumstances. We realise it is pivotal to have an empathetic understanding of the socio-economic and cultural background of every child to achieve this aim.
 
In the words of John Dewey, “Education is not preparation for life; it is life itself." We firmly believe in providing a learning environment that promotes academic excellence and simultaneously integrates co-curricular activities that can develop practical skills beyond mere knowledge of subjects. Assimilating physical education in the core curriculum has been our priority.
 
To achieve this, we provide our students professional training with state-of–the-art sports facilities.
 
It is my earnest appeal to our parents to join us in our continuous endeavors to develop a child’s true potential. Together, we will empower them to achieve academic success and teach them fundamental virtues like self-esteem, respect for others, and regard for the environment.
 
As Chairman of the Trust and as an exstudent of this esteemed 150-year-old educational institution, I take this opportunity to thank each one of you -parents, teachers, non-teaching staff and school committee members—who, individually and collectively, strive towards creating a conducive educational climate for the reason this organisation was established and continues to exists - its students.

Head Mistress' Message - Primary School

Together, the pre-primary and primary sections of our school provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for young learners. The pre-primary section focuses on holistic development; it lays the groundwork for academic success and personal growth with a meticulously designed curriculum tailored to pre-primary students' needs.
 
The primary section builds on these foundations with a comprehensive curriculum that develops critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.
 
The success of our pre-primary and primary sections is largely due to our dedicated and experienced teachers, who foster curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning, ensuring each child feels supported and valued.
 
Our school exemplifies excellence in early childhood education, preparing children for the future while instilling a lifelong passion for learning and personal growth.

Principal's Message - Secondary School and Junior College of Commerce

Education is the key to unlocking a world of  possibilities. It serves not only to enhance a child's intellectual capabilities but also to uncover hidden potential, skills, and talents. Most importantly, the quality of education provided will undoubtedly shape the character of the child and his/her outlook on life.
 
This is precisely the aim of Antonio Da Silva School. This institution offers a perfect platform for students to achieve excellence in academics, sports, and creativity through co-curricular activities. Over the years, many of our former students have made significant contributions to society and the nation, be it academics, business, service industry, art or sports, leaving behind a rich legacy of excellence that inspires and motivates the current generation to strive for greater heights. We believe that each child is special and a unique masterpiece, waiting for an artist to reveal their hidden beauty. Undoubtedly, our teachers are these artists, ever ready with their chisels to carve out sensational masterpieces.
 
Despite various challenges, I am confident that my dedicated and motivated bunch of teachers will go the extra mile and continue their efforts to ensure their students excel and shine.
 
With the visionary leadership and unwavering support of the management, Antonians can look forward to a future filled with opportunities. I encourage each of our students to embrace these opportunities and resources and use them to channel their potential to the fullest.

Principal's Message - Technical High School and Junior College of Science

Dear Parents and Students,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to our technical website page .

This institute was started to educate deserving boys and enable them to receive quality education. The technical branch began in the 1970s to encourage students to become self- reliant. 

It gives me immense joy to declare that our students have done well, not only in academics but also in sports and other co-curricular activities. From the year 2021, our first co-education batch began successfully.

Being a technical school and Science college we believe in “ learning by doing “.  We have a state of the art workshop with the latest technology and robots, fully functional science laboratories, an innovative math lab.,  along with expert guidance from our very own efficient and experienced  teaching staff. Our teachers give their 100% to fulfill our mission; to educate, challenge and inspire all students to reach their full potential.

Adherence to discipline is our priority, so our students shine and stand out in society. 

The teaching and non-teaching staff are  like an extended family, always striving to take the institute to greater and newer heights.

It is my earnest wish that our students not just imbibe scientific and technical knowledge but are nurtured and guided into becoming responsible human beings, with the highest morals and values, and use technology to make our planet a better place for all.

Thanks & regards,

Sandesh Sarwade,
