Overview

Founded in 2009, Redbricks School, Ahmedabad is a coeducational day school affiliated with the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), New Delhi.

The school was founded by Renita Handa (M.ed from Harvard University) and Aditya Handa (MBA from Babson College), founders of Redbricks Education Foundation, a not-for-profit organization focused on nation building. The school maintains an excellent teacher student ratio and has a highly child-centered approach.

The total campus area is ~6 acres.

Campus

The school operates two campuses – one for the Preschool Years and one for Class 1 to Class 12. The combined campus area is ~6 acres, spread across two locations. The larger school campus hosts separate blocks for primary, middle and high school. The school boasts a well-stocked library, well-equipped labs for science and computers, canteen and activity rooms.

The school operates across two campuses and houses 42 classrooms, two ICT labs, two performance arts rooms, one visual arts room, a library with dedicated reading spaces, a large multi-purpose hall for indoor activities and sports, and an open-air amphitheatre. Altogether, there are 40 designated spaces supporting holistic education.

All classrooms are equipped with provisions for AV-enabled teaching, which can be utilised as required. The ICT labs are specially designed as separate facilities from regular classrooms, while the performing arts rooms are built with advanced acoustics and instrument setups to enhance the learning experience.

In addition, the school boasts extensive outdoor sports infrastructure, including facilities for football, track and field, badminton, basketball, pickleball, and volleyball. For younger children, specially designed playgrounds are located near preschool and primary classrooms to facilitate small-group and circle activities. Preschoolers also benefit from engaging amenities such as a splash pool, swings, rope climbing structures, sandpit, mini amphitheatre and other recreational features tailored to their developmental needs.

Academics

The school has tailored its own unique curriculum until Class 6, which prepares the students for any board in future. The school develops its own textbooks and materials which are creative, application-oriented and align with the requirements of the CBSE, CISCE and CAIE boards.

The school’s excellent teacher student ratio ensures students are well supported during the learning process.

The school avoids burdening the students with too much homework with an age appropriate and balanced HW schedule which focuses on revision and application.

Extra academic support is provided at the school in the form of a stay back remedial program for Maths and English, and external tuitions are not recommended

At Redbricks, the Indian curriculum is delivered through globally relevant pedagogical methods such as inquiry-based learning, enabling students to develop culturally relevant knowledge, deeper understanding, and critical thinking skills.

The stage-wise approach is as follows:

● Preschool: Focus on play-based, age-appropriate, and sensorial learning, designed around themes with a fully interdisciplinary and project-based approach.

● Primary School: Emphasis on inquiry-based and higher-order thinking skills, with transdisciplinary and project-based learning. The school has also developed its own thematic curriculum and textbooks.

● Senior School: A balanced combination of student-centred and teacher-directed approaches, including flipped learning and project-based learning, aligned with the ICSE and ISC curriculum.

Cocurricular: Cocurricular activities include sports, yoga, visual arts and design, maker space, music, dance and dramatics.

1. Sports & Games

In Classes 1–6 (Primary), Redbricks provides students with exposure and training in athletics, football, karate, chess, table tennis, badminton, traditional Indian games, and yoga.

From Classes 7–12 (Middle and Senior School), students specialise in two sports each year from a wide range including football, badminton, basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and table tennis. Athletics and yoga remain compulsory components across all levels.

2. Visual & Performing Arts

Students participate in visual arts, makerspace activities, music, dance, and drama. These sessions are led by expert facilitators to nurture aesthetic sensibilities and cultivate artistic and creative skills.

Extracurricular: The school has two unique programs for holistic development of students.

1. Talent Development Program: Students pursue semester-long and year-long projects across various fields such as performing arts, environment sustainability, entrepreneurship and home economics. For the younger grades, projects are linked to developing their multiple intelligences. These projects are highly student driven and follow a project-based learning and design thinking pedagogy. Students develop important 21st century skills such as Thinking skills, Technological Skills, Creativity and Innovation skills, Collaboration and Communication skills, amongst others. They also identify their own strengths and interests, helping them to make future career choices.

2. Self-Enrichment Program: Students are trained in life skills and socio-emotional skills through this program using a wide variety of engaging and reflective methods. The program has three focus areas: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I?. Students develop their emotional intelligence, self-concept, safety awareness and responsible decision making through this program. Community service projects are also embedded in this program.
