Dear Oakridge Community,
My first year at Oakridge and what a year it has been! I want to express my gratitude to everyone in our school community of students, staff, parents and Nord Anglia for accepting and supporting me in making this year at school a beautiful and memorable journey of growth.
As we move into the summer break, continuing with most of our initiatives from 2024-25, I wish to share some insights on a few events and changes coming up for the academic year 2025-26.
This month, our educators have put together their heartful wishes to every child in their classroom. See highlights from May in the link below and know the candid thoughts & personal messages of teachers to their favorites.
Our EYP Coordinator, Ms Shreeja has recently authored an insightful article on the right time to decide on the schooling of a child.
For many parents, the question often arises: “Is my two-year-old really ready for school?”
The answer, as Ms. Shreeja explains, is a confident yes – with the right environment and approach, early schooling can lay the strongest foundation for a child’s future growth.
In collaboration with Better by Design, Oakridge hosted the Great Innovation Challenge (GIC) Qualifier Round for students of PYP 4, PYP 5, and MYP 1–3.
Students worked in teams and actively engaged in the design thinking process – identifying problems, brainstorming creative solutions and translating their ideas into tangible outcomes. They collaborated to build functional standing structures while applying concepts of balance, stability, and structural design.
Qualified students will now participate in a 6-day Innovation Camp hosted by T-Works, India’s largest prototyping centre. They will continue their design journey through deeper exploration of technology, engineering, and entrepreneurship in a real-world setting.

Oakridge International School Bengaluru marked a significant milestone as it celebrated the graduation of its Diploma Programme (DP) 2 students on Saturday, 24th May 2025.
The ceremony was graced by chief guest Chandru Iyer, British Deputy High Commissioner to Karnataka & Kerala, whose keynote address resonated deeply with graduates, families, and teachers.
Drawing from 25 years of experience, Iyer highlighted ten profound life principles that will serve the graduates well beyond their academic achievements. His first and perhaps most impactful message was to “accept the fact that life will not be always fair,” preparing students for the realities they will encounter. He encouraged them to “try things out, listen to your heart” emphasizing that the “next 10 years belong to you.”
