Oakridge Public School is a small school nestled in the heart of Mississauga. At Oakridge, we believe that strong literacy skills are at the heart of every child’s learning success, and believe that children learn by doing. We promote active learning and embrace diversity, celebrating student achievement in classrooms each and every day. At the end of each term, students at Oakridge are recognized with Oakridge Awards for demonstrating academic growth and exemplifying our Oakridge values when interacting with fellow students and staff. We invite our parent community to celebrate with us, and value community involvement. Oakridge has a dedicated group of parent reading coaches who support school literacy initiatives.
