Set in the heart of Durban North, Oakridge College was established in 1999 and has become well-respected in its niche, cementing a reputation for delivering quality learner-centred education for boys and girls from grade 7 to 12.
Over the years, Oakridge College has resisted the temptation to grow class sizes beyond 12 to 14 learners, allowing the dedicated team of teachers to focus their teaching on a personal level, giving each learner the best chance of success.
Oakridge College provides a disciplined environment without focussing on the more traditional school rules – this allows youngsters to achieve academic success without compromising their individuality. Learners are encouraged to understand and appreciate the purpose of their education, question the status quo and learn to see the world from differing perspectives.
Oakridge College focuses on the growth of each learner and provides an environment which assists learners in acquiring basic skills, knowledge, attitudes and values which help them to function in society. In order to assist learners in their development and assess their development effectively, the school recognises and responds to the different teaching philosophies and individual needs of the learners. Education requires a process which constantly reviews and modifies existing structures and teaching strategies to guarantee that they are consistent with our visions and beliefs and acknowledges the changing world we live in.
A comprehensive range of subjects is offered in the senior secondary phase (grade 10 to 12), allowing learners the choice that best suits their interests and positions them in the best place for their futures.
Oakridge College is accredited by Umalusi, is a recognised examination centre and writes the NSC examinations in grade 12.
