International Schools is an environment that inspires thinking.
Welcome to Oakridge Einstein,
Bachupally. Where a personalized learning approach – that includes both
classroom and non-classroom based teaching – is the way. Because we believe
every child possesses a set of skills and talent that need to be nurtured.
Backed by a proven experience of over a decade at the Newton Campus,
Gachibowli, we have adopted this model for the Einstein campus. Moreover, the
broad scope of curriculum supported by a progressive environment nurtures
children to realize their capabilities.
Oakridge is a benchmark; very few
schools in India can match. The environment radiates an air of inspiration,
energy, attitude, and engages students in the habit of enquiry. This helps children
enjoy the process of acquiring knowledge and become lifelong learners. As such,
the focus is to go beyond the textbook, and gain knowledge from observation and
experimentation.
A glimpse of the
campus, right here.
Oakridge Einstein, Bachupally, spread
across 8 acres offers parents the opportunity to give their child international
education, all at a price that’s easy. Thanks to Stepping Stone, the scholarship
programs me which every child walking in for an admission here can take. Though
the Einstein campus is located far from the noisy environs of the city, it’s
replete with superior-class infrastructure, sports facilities and
technologically advanced set up that ensure these young citizens of tomorrow
are as comfortable with the latest in technology as their peers.
Oakridge Einstein international schools - provides a wide range of
indoor facilities to foster and promote integrated development of the child.
From cricket stadiums to swimming pools to tennis courts. The facilities
include spacious digital air-conditioned classrooms of 550 sft. That has
computers in the classroom supported by internet connectivity. Interactive
CD/DVDs bring learning alive with the help of an LCD projector, as it enables
probing and clarity, making the classroom experience altogether different.
Curriculum that
sets the foundation for success.
Oakridge Einstein offers students
from Nursery to Standard 5, the Primary Years Program of the International
Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) or the Cambridge International Primary Program

international education to a worldwide community of schools. CIE (Cambridge
International Examinations) is the world’s largest provider of international

Importance of Educational Institutions
Education is considered as the
tool to change the world. Those who are engaged in spreading knowledge are
given great respect in our country as they are forming the future. There are en
number of schools in India functioning directly under government, partly under
government and private institutions. The influence of globalization in
education has brought drastic changes in the last 10 years as the need for
standard of education amplified. As a result international schools stated
coming up with globally standardized education. And now in 2012 we can find
numerous best International Schools in India standing ahead with best
facilities.
These schools not only
concentrate on the academics but also on the overall development of each child
through various programs. International offer wide range of globally recognized
curriculum like Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), International
Baccalaureate (IB) and nationally recognized Central Board of Secondary
Education (CBSE). The programs like IB and CIE facilitate children in developing
the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills to learn and work in
the rapidly globalizing world. I short it reduces the boundaries for students
in flourishing across the world.
Other than the educational
benefits, international schools in India provide various developmental programs
for students. For example schools like Oakridge, India’s largest International
school and the best international schools
in Hyderabad, offer experiential learning to their students. Most of the
learning of children here happens outside classes through workshops,
discussions, debates and international conferences. Their programs like Weekend
Voyager (a weekend activity initiative which provides a myriad of opportunities
for students of all ages), OAK MUN (Oakridge Model United Nations) and so on
benefits the students in developing their public speaking skills, creative
thinking abilities, problem solving capacities, global awareness etc.
The number of International
schools in south India is getting higher these days as part of the IT
revolution and foreign investment. Especially in places like Bangalore,
Hyderabad, Chennai the graph is elevated. As the Chinese proverb say “when
school flourish, all flourishes”.
Oakridge International Boarding
School Vizag offer en number of co curricular programs to their students. They
organize various camps on Sports, Culture, Arts, etc. for children including
international students which become a platform for cultural exchange. Weekend
picnics are part of boarding school life where children will go for field trips
and become experiential learning for them. Other than these they celebrate
festivals in campus keeping the ideology of secularism in mind.
International Schools and their Curriculum
A
curriculum in uncomplicated word is nothing but the courses presented in an
educational institution. But if we go in detail the word means much more and
often wider than the alleged meaning. These wide ranges of curriculum
constantly happen to the parameter for a student or may be a parent to opt
certain schools who put forward internationally recommended syllabus.
Curriculum
is the approved course studies which a student is supposed to accomplish to
acquire certain degree of education. When we talk specifically about International Schools,
they offer the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), International
Baccalaureate (IB), Central Board of Secondary Education etc. In India IB
curriculum is offered by very few schools and among them Oakridge International
School, is a prominent one. They have provided the children with well
flourished curriculum which includes all academic and extramural activities.
International
Baccalaureate (IB) is an internationally standardized curriculum for students
aged 3 – 9 to help them develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and
social skills to live, learn and work in rapidly globalizing world. The IB
program started in 1968 and now 3,462 schools in around 143 countries are
following the IB syllabus. On the same ground there is Cambridge International
Examinations (CIE) also propose internationally standardized curriculum by more
than 9000 schools around 160 countries in the world. The goal is to deliver
world-class education through proficient curriculum, assessment and services. They
provide globally recognized qualifications including IGCSE (International
General Certificate of Secondary Education. Apart from internationally
standardized syllabuses there is CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education)
which is the state syllabus offers innovative teaching and learning methodology
through centered paradigms.
In Oakridge – International schools in Bangalore
they offer International Baccalaureate's Primary Year Program (IB PYP) for the
primary class children and International Baccalaureate's Diploma Program (IBDP)
for Grade IX and XII, keeping in mind the perception of academic learning and
the global responsiveness. Since most of a human beings’ mental development
happens in the primary ages, it is essential to build a social consciousness
along with fundamental education. This course of learning helps the child to
think critically and develop his/her on ideas of the existing circumstance. For
the secondary students they offer the Cambridge Lower Secondary Program and
Central Board of Secondary Education syllabus to endow them with more advanced
growth. It provides the systematic progress and turn into further sophisticated
at this phase where they are much more exposed to world of science and
mathematics and also helps to varied skills.
Since
we believe in the reality that children are the hope for future, the curriculum
taught in schools should be central part on which the personal and mental
capabilities of a student to be formed and for this function educational
institution and government bodies should take measures to assemble such
curriculums which can lend a hand to students to reach out their goal.
