I joined Oakridge International school in 8th grade. The main reason for me to join was because they encouraged students to pursue what they were interested in.
The teachers were always happy to help, friendly and provided the students with the expertise required. The way they explained everything is what made a big difference between Oakridge and the other schools. They always concentrated on conceptual learning rather than reading everything out of the text book and mugging it. All the teachers always showed positive attitude towards students and only wanted to bring out the creativity and positivity in all of us. My teacher Mr.Suresh taught us Physics and emphasised on core learning of the subject which got me interested in physics.
Oakridge has a very big campus and the best part is that it has a lot of nature incorporated into the campus. It has a wide variety of sports and Co-curriculars that the students can choose from. I was a Tennis player and represented Oakridge for national level competions.
I always looked forward for lunch at school, a time where we all sat together and enjoyed the delicious food served. Looking back, those were such fun times and I remember it so fondly.
Today I am 26 and I’m the Co-founder & COO of Empower Labs, an Augmented Reality gaming company and I think the qualities that I developed while studying in Oakridge, helped me set it up. The discipline, time management, concepts, communication and personality development helped me in being what I am today.
