Currently, Ayaan is pursuing a senior major in Finance and Business Analytics at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “I firmly believe that to thrive in any profession, one needs to have a thorough understanding of its fundamental concepts. I was new to commerce and finishing high school at Oakridge really helped me get a firm grasp on the fundamentals of the field. The way my teachers helped me cope with the courses, is still helping me in the University. Looking forward to the future, I intend to pursue a master’s degree in International Finance and Economics.”

“Looking back to 2016, when I first enrolled at Oakridge International School, Vishakhapatnam Campus, and now, one of the most essential lessons I’ve learned is how to be self-Independent. When I graduated my high school in 2018, I always wondered, have these two bought any positive changes in me, now, as an international student, I am glad of the fact that Oakridge has assisted me in becoming not just self-sufficient, self-driven but also a confident person. Never have I wondered about pursuing my bachelor’s abroad until I came to Oakridge, which helped me find the best of my academic interests with the support of all my teachers, or should I say, mentors.”
