Perfect 45 scorer Nishitha Chaayanath, from Oakridge Gachibowli school says, “Oakridge was and is my home, my inspiration and my defining factor. Success was a perspective and aspiration that I learned to appreciate during my time at school. Through personal and academic growth in a nurturing environment I learnt that excellence is not sought after but cultivated within one’s own self.”
Another Perfect 45 scorer Tejaswi, an Oakridger for past 4 years says, “Coming into IB in Grade 9, I wouldn’t have been able to imagine the impact that it would have on my opportunities and perspectives. Oakridge provided me with an environment to experiment with all of these facets of knowledge. The brilliant teachers supported my endeavours and having ambitious peers opened up so many stimulating intellectual conversations.”
“Being a part of the IB program at Oakridge helped me in several ways, but most importantly, it has helped me foster a strong sense of resilience through the diverse set of challenges that I was exposed to, and ultimately overcame. By encouraging me to craft a personal and unique approach towards learning, while equally emphasizing the importance of self-reflection, it allowed me to unlock a more dynamic version of myself,” adds Oakridger Vansh who achieved a perfect 45/45 score.
Top scorer from Oakridge Bengaluru, Sehrish Ahmed, says, “With the constant support I received from my teachers, I achieved top score of 43/45. Last year was difficult with a very new set up of online classes but eventually with the help and encouragement of my teachers the entire journey became easy. I could contribute to ‘USG of communication’ in Bangalore-JMUN and trained junior students to improve on their communication skills. I got offers from different universities abroad but I decided to go to McGill University to study Economics & Maths.”
Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Pallavi Mishra, Principal at Oakridge International School, Bengaluru said, “Due to our emphasis on the process and journey of learning rather than only outcomes, we were able to adapt smoothly to the non exam route assigned to the India region, which depended heavily on the school’s authentic data, credibility and standard of internal assessments. Oakridge students secured 100% pass score in IBDP 2021 as against the 86% average pass score of 1,76,000 students across the world. I am very proud of our students and teachers and very thankful to parents for their support.”
