Yashaswi’s transformative IB journey at Oakridge Bachupally
- 17 December 2024
My experience at Oakridge Bachupally has been truly transformative. The diploma program has significantly influenced both my personal and professional development.
For me, assuming a leadership position at the 2023 TEDx event at Oakridge Bachupally was a turning point. This changed from being just an extracurricular activity to becoming a significant educational experience. During this time, I developed my ability to lead diverse teams, plan complex events, and handle the challenges of professional communication. I was also able to hone my skills in visual communication, teamwork, and diplomatic negotiations as the USG of Design in Model UN (MUN).
One noteworthy element of my educational path is Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS). By itself, the trip to Keesaragutta was more of a visit than an engagement exercise; it was the ideal chance to strengthen relationships and recognise the value of hands-on learning.
Through CAS I had the opportunity of interacting with a local government school. I was able to support SDG 4, which emphasises how education can change communities at the local level, thanks to this experience.
Oakridge faculty were always there to support me through my entire academic journey. Their support went beyond curriculum management, as they guided the students in all matters, including college applications and personal development. They ensured that the students were prepared not only academically but also had the strength to face future challenges.
Oakridge was more than an educational institution; it was an incubator of potential. The skills, perspectives, and experiences gained have been instrumental in my subsequent academic and professional pursuits.
To current and prospective students: embrace every opportunity, challenge your boundaries, and recognize that education is a powerful tool for personal and societal transformation.
My time studying the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) at Oakridge International School, Bachupally, was more than just an academic chapter—it was a transformative period that shaped my personal and professional identity.
The school’s commitment to holistic education became evident through the myriad opportunities that extended far beyond traditional classroom learning. As a student, I discovered that education at Oakridge was about nurturing potential, encouraging leadership, and providing platforms for genuine personal growth.
