We believe that children flourish in their learning and growth when parents and educators work together towards a common goal. We very much value open and honest communication, trust and mutual respect. As adults, we are examples to children and need to set the stage for our students to succeed now and in the future.
The future landscape requires us to equip our students with life-long learning skills so that they are ready to face the complex challenges of their future. Knowledge-based learning skills will always be a part of education but the ability to transfer that knowledge, to solve problems, collaborate and think analytically and critically are crucial for success in the future. These skills as well as resilience, leadership, care for others and our environment as well as our agile curriculum are at the heart of an OBS education.
Our highly skilled, driven teachers are not seen as traditional educators but as mentors and facilitators. We want our students to take responsibility for their learning and formulate their own opinions and most importantly to never lose the inherent love of learning that they are born with.
School today is very different to what it was even a few years ago. Our learning spaces are a hub of creativity and energy as the students delve deeply into new concepts and areas of exploration and work on their personal next learning steps. By embracing digital learning and integrating the newest technology to enhance our students’ learning experiences, our aim is to always remain one step ahead in providing an innovative education relevant to the future.
We are extremely honoured and excited about leading the school in the next stages of its development. Our priority is for each and every one of our students to have access to excellent real-world, academic and social opportunities and to feel valued and respected for who they are. We wish for them to be fully involved and active in creating their own learning path in a school they look forward to attending each day and in which positive drive and energy are truly tangible.
Cherish these years. Time moves quickly. Take the time to be part of your child’s learning journey at OBS so as not to miss out on the growth that will occur on a daily basis.
Education is a gift, a gift that will last a lifetime if delivered with the student at the heart of everything, and with the dedication, passion and care that every child deserves.
With very best wishes,
Angela Mitra
