We proudly declare that our students have excelled in every event and aspect. They have proved themselves to be proud ‘Oakridgers’ and are heading towards greater achievements.

OISB has always been a platform for students to prove themselves global citizens and foster independence and collaboration as a result of holistic learning. Students have an opportunity to expand their perspectives and connect across the world. On this note, a word of gratitude to all the parents for their extended cooperation and prompt response and action needed to help our students thrive in the uncertain future that is also volatile.

The pandemic subsided bringing in fresh air for the students and teachers to get back to normal amidst all the uncertainties. The School reopened for students segment-wise, three days for the senior school and one day for the Primary and the Early years each. After rigorous and mindful planning, finally, the premises of Oakridge roared with the zeal and vibrant smiles of our youngest Oakridgers. It was an inexpressible experience of seeing our students after a long time. Even the students expressed their happiness of attending school physically. They feel that learning is better in a physical school and they were elated doing the activities and tasks along with the PE and PA classes too.

OISB aims at new concepts that will raise the bar, intelligence-wise among the students, all in the interest of the children. In view of this, Oakridge Parent Partner (OPP) meetings were conducted for all the segments. A Sincere thanks to all the parents who have attended and share their valuable suggestions.
