As part of the wide spectrum of welfare activities of Indian Railways, Oak Grove School aims at providing quality, modern education - as obtainable in English Medium Public Schools - to the wards of railway employees at a highly affordable cost. The school has successfully adapted to the changing times and lays great emphasis on imbibing the values of Indian culture amongst students. The school aims at achieving the highest standard of excellence in academics, sports and co-curricular activities, as found in the best Public Schools so as to turn out men and women of quality who would do the Railways and society at large, proud of them.  Limited seats (25%) are also offered to those not working in the railway system.

The School Motto is enshrined in the famous shloka from MUNDOKOUPANISHAD . Take us O' Lord from Darkness to Enlightenment.

Oak Grove strongly believes that school is the institution where the darkness of illiteracy, unawareness and conservatism are banished and then dawns wisdom, knowledge and creativity on the impressionable minds of young children, on whose shoulders lie the responsibilities of the future.
