Oakridge International School

Principal's Message/Chairman's Message


Dear Parents,


Welcome to Oakridge Boarding Campus…

If we teach today the way we were taught yesterday we aren't preparing students for today or tomorrow.

As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, schools worldwide continue to struggle with the challenge of teaching our children with what have been described as 21st Century Skills (Stuart, 1999). These are the skills that students will need to be successful and productive members of society in the decades to come.

The recent focus on 21st Century Skills is an attempt to shift our goal from knowledge acquisition to skill acquisition. Students need to be creators and innovators. Sitting back and listening is no longer enough. They need to join the conversation, give opinions and listen to others. We can no longer tell them who the experts are. They need to be able to judge that for themselves. They need to work together, not just with their classmates but also with people from different countries and cultures. They need to learn how to learn because they will need to learn new ways of finding information as technology tools change (and they are changing daily).

At Oakridge, the student's personal welfare and development as well as their academic excellence are of great importance to us. We therefore, strive to maintain an educational environment that is conducive and friendly to learning. It is run professionally where we instill a passion for learning and an atmosphere of trust, respect, tolerance and co-operation.

At Oakridge we pride ourselves on our collegiate and caring environment where every opinion counts. We believe in developing young inspired leaders at all levels. I hope this website gives you a flavor of our vision. Please come to visit us; we will be delighted to welcome you.

Regards
Lt. Col. (Retd.) YHVS Prasad
Principal
