About the school: It’s not what is poured into student, but what is planted The fear for just an excellence in academic lines and of new experience among students kills the spirit of adventure in all through the student’s education life; our whole upbringing and education have made us afraid to think contrary to the established pattern of society. Unfortunately, the present system of education is making young minds subservient, mechanical and deeply thoughtless. Though it awakens them intellectually, inwardly it leaves them incomplete, stultified and un-creative. In Oakwood International School the purpose of education is not to produce mere scholars, technicians and job hunters, but integrated youngsters who are free of fear. We develop in them the courage to try new things as every big breakthrough starts as a harebrained idea. We visualize to be the pre-eminent centre of learning to produce future leaders with global prospective.
