Dear Parents,
I am delighted to welcome our students back to campus following the Autumn break. They have returned with renewed energy and a genuine eagerness to resume their learning journey.
Before the break, we organized a Global University Fair, with over 55 world-class universities from the USA, UK, India, China, Australia, Europe, Canada, and Ireland participating. This event provided an excellent opportunity, particularly for our Grade 12 students, to explore their higher education options, which I hope will greatly assist them in their application process.
During the break, some of our students had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Regional Wild Card STEAM Festival, held at Nord Anglia School Dubai and STEMpact Singapore. Also, our Grade 12 and IBDP students engaged in a three-day internship program in the fields of Marketing and IT.
Nord Anglia Education has launched a new publication called “INSIGHTS,” which covers topics of utmost importance to young people and parents in the realm of education. I encourage you to peruse this magazine for valuable insights.
As the new term unfolds, we are eager to see the exciting developments it will bring. Before that, I look forward to meeting you at the Parent-Student-Educator Meets, where we will discuss your child’s progress in the term examinations.
I am happy to share that for the 8th consecutive year, our school has bagged 1st Position in the Education World National School Rankings 2023, in the category of International Day-cum-Boarding Schools in Andhra Pradesh. Also, Oakridge, Visakhapatnam is also among the Top 18 best International Day-cum-Residential School in India.
