International Schools are Shaping them young, shaping them bright.


The primary focus at Oakridge Einstein is to give the toddlers the right foundation. The school follows an amalgam of curriculum prescribed by the CBSE, with the international curriculum of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program me (IBPYP).
