Why We Created CPX: A Vision Beyond the Classroom
When we began building ODM, our dream was never just about good academic results. It was about shaping individuals—young minds who not only succeed in exams but succeed in life. Over time, I kept asking myself, “What truly makes a student excel—not just in marks, but in the journey of life?” The answer I found wasn’t in textbooks. It lay deeper. And that answer became CPX.
This program is personal to me. It was not designed in a boardroom. It was imagined in quiet moments—observing our students, listening to their aspirations, and sensing their silent confusions. CPX is not just a curriculum module. It’s a compass.
C for Character: The Foundation of Everything
You can teach a child mathematics, but if they don’t learn integrity, what good is intelligence? If they don’t learn humility, collaboration, perseverance, and a sense of service—then what good is success? This is why CPX begins with character. One period a week may sound small, but the ripple effect of a value sown at the right time can shape a lifetime. We want our students to be kind before they are competitive, honest before they are ambitious, and respectful before they are brilliant.
P for Potential: The Power Within
Every child has a spark. But without direction, that spark fades into distraction. At ODM, we don’t want our students to just pass through school; we want them to discover themselves. CPX helps them identify their strengths, set goals—academic or otherwise—and more importantly, understand the “why” behind those goals. If a student dreams of becoming a scientist, an artist, or a social worker—we help them not just dream, but plan, act, and evolve. That’s potential in motion.
X for Excel: Becoming Your Best Self
‘Excel’ is not about being better than others. It’s about being better than who you were yesterday. With knowledge, intellect, personality, leadership, and wellness forming the five pillars of this stage, CPX is our commitment to ensure every child doesn’t just aim for marks, but for mastery—of self, of skills, and of spirit. This year, we added a dimension of social entrepreneurship to CPX. Because what’s the point of education if it doesn’t make the world a better place? We want students to not only build their careers but also contribute to society. We want them to lead, not follow.
CPX was created with a very simple belief: when children have the right values, a clear goal, and the skills to pursue it, they will thrive. Without that, they’re just wandering through years, surrounded by noise, pulled in every direction. CPX brings clarity. It anchors them. It reminds them of who they are, and who they can become.
To me, this isn’t just a program. It’s a part of our soul as an institution. And I hope, in the years to come, it becomes the reason our children stand tall—not just in careers, but in character.
Because at ODM, we don’t just prepare students for exams.
We prepare them for life.
