It’s been an amazing journey with OAKRIDGE for the last 5 years. Have seen my daughter shape up beautifully from an introvert, shy child to an outgoing Prefect shouldering responsibilities to accepting new challenges with a great zeal. Especially the grade 5 PYPX and PMUN have been the icing on the cake teaching children so much to take ownership on their learning’s and choices. Seeing their child flourish is all that every parent desires and at Oakridge I see my daughter achieving new accolades at every facet of her journey. A big thank you to the teachers and supporting staff for making the school a happy and safe place for kids.

Reviewed on November 8, 2022
We relocated from the US just in time for the school year 2022-2023 and admitted our two girls in grades 9 and 5 in Sreenidhi International School. This review is based on 4 months spent at Sreenidhi. They both adjusted to the school reasonably quickly and are liking it in general. The only issue that I hear from the 9th grader is that the IB international syllabus is keeping her busy almost everyday because of assignments, exams, etc. She has to plan her time carefully and deliver assignments at different levels of quality based on the time available. They are happy with their teachers and say that they are friendly and interactive. They participate in sports after school from 3:00 to 4:15pm (I think) and then take the late bus which drops them at our house in Gachibowli at around 5:20pm. (They start at 7:25am because the school runs from 8am to 3pm, with breakfast at 8am). They come home tired but excited. The after-school sports programs are managed very well and the children are enjoying those sessions. There are other events like school parties and events for children and parents from time to time and they too are well organized. Summary: Both my children said that they would recommend Sreenidhi to their best friends in the US if they ever relocate to Hyderabad. I think that sums it up.

I have been to Oakridge International School and its level is no where near International School of Hyderabad (ISH). ISH is Hyderabad's best. If you want to send your child to a good school ISH is the one.

Our child had difficulties early on with speech, instruction and social communication. And we were really scared about our child's development and delays. After being schooled at Sancta Maria we really saw an amazing positive change over the years. Our paediatricians have told that our child had significantly overcome his speech difficulties. And his overall improvement has astonished us. We owe it all to the school. It is really amazing how a child's development can be influenced by the correct set of teachers and care takers. Our child has been doing very well. And the school has been giving us constant care, support and love. Not only the studies but from his diet and health everything our child needed has been taken care of with utmost love by Sancta Maria school. We really are thankful to the support staff ,the assistants nurses and all the didis who took care of our child with so much affection. Looking at our child perform along with all the amazing children in the schools annual day function of The Jungle book story this year, will be an unforgettable moment of our lives. We really appreciate how the school has made each and every child take part in such a grand scale event, despite the challenges our child had. Its very difficult to conduct an event of this magnitude. We parents felt like the story of jungle book was being performed by stage actors than children . This also shows the level of commitment and love to make sure all kids are given equal love attention and opportunities. We really appreciate the dedication it took to make our kid take part in this amazing event. We are really grateful for all the support and love of all the teachers and the staff, especially Roopna and Pragnya madam early on and then Laila madam, Mithu madam, Elizabeth madam, Sirisha madam and Silvia madam. We only have named a few of the all wonderful teachers who loved, educated and cared for our child since all these years. We are also very thankful to the incharges Rini madam , Sajini madam and earlier Sailaja madam for their constant support and guidance. We also would thank the really amazing children and classmates of Sancta Maria for loving our child and being his friend and support. We would like to extend our gratitude to the school Principal and the management for creating and running such an amazing establishment. Thank you all so much for bringing such positively and joy to our lives. We really appreciate our ongoing association with Sancta Maria school.

My Daughter is in keystone school from 3rd grade and she is in middle school now, We are so happy that she was able to develop her organizational , communication and presentation skills that are being trained by teachers during projects sessions. (The only school which follows PBL in Hyderabad), Teachers in keystone are highly experienced and they are very lively and energetic. They are well trained and they attend to all our concerns shared during PTMs. I did not face any challenge using their apps for any communication. Classrooms and differentiated learning practices are adjusted and are made as needed to meet child’s requisite.. Management is very approachable. Student teacher ratio is amazing there is no crowd and rush. Individual attention is unconditionally visible. If you want to give your child a distinctive way of experiencing education while she / he is nurtured to be their best, I would definitely recommend this school.
