About Us

PVP Sainik School, Loni makes gentlemen soldiers out of boys. A residential school for boys, the institution ingrains patriotism in the hearts and minds of students and takes them to great heights.

Inaugurated on the auspicious day of Vijayadashmi on 11 October, 1997, we are a government-aided school in pursuance of Maharashtra Government’s scheme for “One Sainik School Per District”. From just two teachers and 26 students in Class V, we now have 26 teachers and 462 students from Class VI to Class XII. The institute functions on Maharashtra State Board’s pattern for Secondary and Higher Secondary Education.

Our results have been envious – many of our alumni have secured admission in the National Defence Academy (NDA) and are serving with honour in the defence forces. That apart, our students have participated in the Republic Day Parade in New Delhi and National Scout Camps, while winning medals and accolades at various gruelling sports events. The School has been in the forefront in Ahmednagar District, Pune Division and the State in the field of sports, especially Swimming, Boxing, Kabaddi & Horse-riding.

PVP Sainik School has been approved as New Sainik School under the aegis of All India Sainik School Society, Ministry of Defence. It offers an opportunity to students to get highest standard of education and all-round development, with life values duly embedded.

Students of Classes VI to XII are prepared for induction into the armed forces of our country, with special emphasis on training for NDA & TES. They are trained and prepared to become potential leaders for Armed Forces and other walks of life too.

Visits of students to NDA and other Defence establishments close-by are organized, and Army Camps conducted for them. Motivational lectures and workshops by Armed Forces Officers and important personalities from other fields, and webinars are also conducted.

Coaching for SSB for NDA & TES is conducted by Commandant (himself a Veteran of the Indian Army with long and varied exposures to combat), and by external agencies having expert Armed Forces Officers who have served in Selection Centres and are well versed with SSB procedures and requirements.

We offer best infrastructure with a beautiful, clean & green, pollution and vices free environment. Facilities for all games and sports including horse riding, swimming, rifle shooting, archery, etc are available with expert coaches, some having national/international exposure.

Our thrust is on developing values, leadership qualities, communication skills and all-round personality in our Cadets so that they stand out in a crowd.
