INTRODUCTION
Oakridge International School was founded in the year 2000 in Hyderabad,
the capital of the State of Andhra Pradesh, India. Oakridge is part
of the Vikas Group, Vizag, whose academic institutions rank among
India's most advanced and progressive.
CURRICULUM
As an international school catering to students in the Indian context,
Oakridge is primarily affiliated to the Central Board for Secondary
Education (CBSE), New Delhi. We are also authorized by the International
Baccalaureate Organization to offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP)
and have attained the status of an IB World School since October 2004.
We will be launching the IB Diploma Programme in April 2006.
STAFF
Our teachers are handpicked from some of the finest educational institutions
across INDIA and abroad.
Apart from educational qualifications and work experience, teachers
are selected based on their approach to their work and their openness
to using innovative teaching methods. They are constantly trained
in the PYP methods.
FACILITIES
The School provides a kaleidoscope of features and amenities, some
of which are Multi-facility air-conditioned Classrooms with Computers,
Internet connection, Intranet and facilities for using LCD projector,
etc. Laboratories such as the Infotech Centre; the Language labs;
Labs for Physics, Chemistry and Life Sciences; as also an Environment
Sciences lab, Swimming Pool, Music and Art Rooms, Infirmary, Games
Field and 200 mt. Athletics Track, Volleyball. Basketball. Tennis
Courts, Clinical Psychology Unit, Air conditioned buses with on-board
security personnel and wireless equipment, Dining Hall, Learning Resource
Centre and Toy Library.
SCHOOL YEAR AND SCHOOL DAY
The school calendar year is from June to April. However, we have the
academic session for classes VII, VIII, IX and X beginning in mid-March
and ending in mid-February of the next year.
Oakridge is a long day school (8:20 am to 4:00 pm, Monday to Friday)
without any residential facility.
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Oakridge, in every possible way, focuses more on learning rather than
teaching . So, the emphasis at Oakridge is on developing amongst the
students all the skills, aptitudes and attitudes required for the
creative construction of their own knowledge through questioning,
reading, exploring, dreaming, formulating and testing hypothesis as
opposed to the general practice in schools of merely programming into
the child a certain body of information. The well-trained and committed
staff, the innovative teaching methods adopted and the excellent infrastructure
effectively facilitate this very special focus of the institution. |
