OIS – The Newton Campus
Oakridge International School, Newton Campus, offers an international educational opportunity that prepares students for life, work and civic roles in a globally interconnected world. The question is, of course, what exactly do we mean by the term “international education”?
At OIS, international programs strive to prepare students for the global economy of tomorrow by empowering them to become solid thinkers and good citizens with a global perspective. They are immersed in an academically vigorous program that enables them to work in diverse groups, communicate in more than one language, and appreciate the diversity of world cultures. The focus on global education and second language proficiency promotes rigorous, open-minded intellectual engagement, nimble thinking, strong problem-solving skills, multicultural friendships, cognitive development and creativity.
The Oakridgers are therefore well prepared for the challenges of the 21st century.
They have had a strong academic program, but one that has also allowed each student to blossom according to his or her strengths.
They have a solid grounding in the traditional disciplines and a deep knowledge of at least one other language and culture.
The Oakridgers enter high school and eventually universities as self-confident learners who understand the impact of global interactions and the changing world, are beginning to develop true cultural competency, and have a deep commitment to understanding the world and making it a better place for all.
