Oakland International British School

Oakland International British School is committed to academic excellence and high moral values. Its mission is to identify and maximize the potential of every learner to produce inspired, creative, ethical, compassionate, confident, and respectful independent global citizens.

The school provides an Early Years programme based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework for children aged 0 to 5, focusing on school readiness and foundational skills. For primary-aged students (5 to 11), it implements the Cambridge Primary Curriculum, which covers subjects including English/Literacy, Mathematics/Numeracy, Arts, Music, Drama, ICT, Humanities, and Physical Education. The curriculum emphasizes phonics, practical mathematical approaches, and problem-solving skills.

The school maintains an Inclusion Unit to provide specialist support for pupils with additional needs. The staff are trained to identify and nurture the unique strengths of every child while providing the necessary support to help them overcome challenges.

Prospective parents are invited to tour the school and meet with staff to discuss individual requirements. Admission for primary students involves placement tests in English, Mathematics, and Cognitive Ability (CAT4), with a required average score of 65%. Early Years applicants participate in an informal assessment, which for older children includes a classroom observation involving age-appropriate activities, sorting, and identification games.

The school operates on an academic year that concludes in September, at which time class parties are held and student reports are distributed.

The school offers a variety of school clubs and extra-curricular activities designed to complement the academic programme. These include competitions and opportunities for students to engage in broader school life beyond the classroom.
