The Sibling Advantage: Enriching Lives Together

  • 16 May 2025

As parents, we are attuned to the beauty and challenges of life, which include managing time meticulously for all one’s children. At Oakridge International School, Mohali, the Siblings Advantage is more than just ‘ease’ financially. It is an investment in the family’s socio-emotional and developmental well-being.

Fostering Closer Family Ties
In modern-day lives, siblings may often find themselves in separate schools, following different schedules, and have limited time together. Using the Siblings Advantage, families can be rest assured that their children learn, grow, and thrive in the same environment. Shared school hours alongside bus routines allow siblings to spend quality time together, which strengthens their relationship.

Strengthening Emotional Connections

In the same school settings, siblings learn to tackle & shoulder each other’s responsibility. From sharing a smile at lunch to encouraging each other during school activities, these daily interactions become an important primary emotional anchor. Younger siblings gain confidence and security from having an older sibling around, while older siblings learn responsibility and empathy.

Peer Learning at Its Best

In a common schooling and value system setup, siblings can increase the rate of home peer interaction. The firstborn is usually more capable and can support the younger sibling in learning, projects, and even in making independent choices. This mentorship has the potential to foster enduring collaboration, be it for a scientific exhibition or some artistic work, it helps cultivate leadership along with teamwork from a tender age.

A Shared Global Vision

We raise citizens of the world at Oakridge. Siblings growing up in the same global citizenship school setting develop cultural understanding and strategic foresight along with empathy towards different world issues. This often serves as the basis for collaboration not only within the family but also as change makers for life.

Empowering Parents Too

This simultaneously brings comfort and convenience to parents. The Advantage of Siblings comes with parents being able to manage the children easily. One school means one set of interactions, one calendar, one community. This simplification gives parents the opportunity to relax while still actively being involved, as they don’t have to be divided between multiple schools.

At Oakridge Mohali, the Siblings Advantage is more than a concession—it’s a commitment to nurturing the entire family’s journey. Because when siblings grow together, they don’t just share a school; they share values, dreams, and a lifetime of learning.
