OAKBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

Growing minds. Building character. Shaping the future.

Our Story

hoosing a school is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. At Oakbridge International School, we understand the trust that comes with that decision.

Located in New Achimota, Accra, Oakbridge is a growing international school committed to providing a high-quality education in an environment where children feel known, supported and encouraged to discover what they can achieve.

We bring together academic rigour, character development, creativity and meaningful relationships to give every learner a strong foundation for the future. Our pupils are encouraged not simply to remember what they are taught, but to ask questions, explore ideas, think critically and apply their learning to the world around them.

At the heart of Oakbridge is a belief that education should develop the whole child. Academically, socially, emotionally and personally. We work closely with families to create a community where children can grow in confidence, develop strong values and become responsible global citizens.

We educate the whole child

Education is about more than examination results.

We want our learners to leave Oakbridge with more than academic knowledge. We want them to have the confidence to express themselves, the curiosity to keep learning, the resilience to overcome challenges and the character to make responsible choices.

From the classroom to the sports field, from creative activities to cultural celebrations and excursions, we create opportunities for children to discover their interests, develop their talents and learn how to work with others.

Our approach recognises that every child is different. By understanding individual strengths, needs and interests, our teachers can provide the encouragement and support each learner needs to thrive.

Critical Thinking
Children learn to analyse information, consider different perspectives and make thoughtful, informed decisions.
Creativity
We give children the freedom to imagine, experiment and express their ideas in original and meaningful ways.
Collaboration
Learners work together, listen to different perspectives and develop communication skills to achieve shared goals.
Problem-Solving
We challenge children to approach problems with confidence, explore solutions and learn from the process.
Practical Learning
We help learners develop the confidence to form their own ideas, make responsible choices and take ownership of learning.
Independent Thinking
We encourage children to ask questions, explore new ideas and develop a genuine desire to understand the world.

Parents are part of the Oakbridge community

Learning is stronger when school and home work together.

We believe parents are an important part of a child’s educational journey. Open communication, mutual trust and active involvement help us understand each learner better and provide the support they need to flourish.

From everyday communication with teachers to school activities, events and celebrations, we encourage families to be part of the Oakbridge community.

Together, we can give every child the support, encouragement and opportunities they need to thrive.

This would be a great place for one of your photos of a parent with their child.
