Oasis International School, a not-for-profit institution run by the Isra Trust, was established in October, 1999 in Bangalore. In a span of 10 years now, Oasis has grown to over 850 students across Montessori to Grade 10.
As part of its long term Vision, Oasis aims to be an exemplary international school where all communities avail world-class educational facilities and receive inspiring instructions to be individuals of strong character, life-long learners and useful citizens of India.
The History usually mirrors the life and activity of the Institution during the preceding year. Speaking of the past, we are filled with admiration and gratitude for those stalwarts of a byegone age: the Fathers of the Paris Foreign Mission. Imbued with vision and foresight, iron will and steely determination, unflagging zeal and dauntless courage, they planted a seed in the “Garden” on St. John’s Hill, nurtured it through the years, and, when the time was ripe, transplanted it to an imposing building, which is now St. Joseph’s College, PUC Section. They were men of deep faith and bard toil, all of them: Vissac and Browne, Froger and Veysseyre, Blaise and Michel, and the great Aucouturier. We salute these giants and place on record our abiding gratitude. When the Fathers of the Society of Jesus, who are managing the School, at present, took it over in 1937, they were faced with the daunting challenge of living up to the high standards set by their predecessors. It is a matter of joy for us to know that during these odd years, we have tried hard, and to a great extent succeeded in meeting that challenge. It has been for us a thrilling adventure as thrilling as the task of an athlete determined to break records. Some records we ourselves have set, and some set by others before us, we have broken.
