About Radiant Public School, Raipur. A small school with a long memory.
Founded in 1994 by the Agrawal family through the Gyanodaya Shikchau Samiti, Radiant Public School is the original CBSE-affiliated, fully residential co-educational school in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Over more than three decades we have kept faith with a simple idea: that the finest education is one where teachers and students share a life.
A Modern Gurukul, for a modern India.
The word gurukul carries centuries of weight in this country. At Radiant, we take it to mean this: the teacher and the student, sharing a roof, sharing a table, sharing the slow work of becoming oneself.
That ancient arrangement is paired here with the best of a contemporary education: CBSE academics; laboratories in every science; smart classrooms; coaching for JEE, NEET, and CLAT. The infrastructure of a modern school, in service of a much older idea about what a school is for.
We are, by choice, not the largest school in Chhattisgarh. We are not a chain or a franchise. One campus. One family of staff. One rhythm, held for three decades.
The five things we refuse to compromise on.
- 01
Intention
A small school, by choice. A teacher-to-section ratio of 1 : 1.5 means no child goes unnoticed.
- 02
Community
Four Houses, one family. Staff are housed on campus and dine at the same tables as students.
- 03
Scholarship
The CBSE curriculum, taught ably and seriously. Eight laboratories, a computerised library, remedial support.
- 04
Service
Our motto: We Learn to Serve. Thursday evenings belong to the school. Students keep their own campus.
- 05
Simplicity
Pure-vegetarian food. Quiet early mornings. Sufficient space and sky for a childhood to unfold.
A timeline, told quietly.
- 1994
Founded
Gyanodaya Shikchau Samiti establishes Radiant Public School on 47,600 sq m of quiet land near Bendri, with a clear conviction that a school is first a community.
- 1998
CBSE Affiliation
Provisional affiliation with the Central Board of Secondary Education is granted, and Classes I to XII are formally recognised.
- 2000s
The Four Houses
Hostel capacity is expanded; sport and arts facilities are built out. The four-house system, under resident Masters and Mistresses, becomes the social architecture of campus.
- 2010s
Smart classrooms
Interactive Educom technology is introduced across every section. A computerised library is established. The 1 : 1.5 teacher-to-section ratio is protected.
- Today
Three decades on
Three generations of children have called Radiant home. The campus, the staff, and the rhythm of the school remain intimate, by intent.
Led by a school management committee.
Radiant is governed by its School Management Committee and Parent Teacher Association, both chaired by long-standing community members, with representation from faculty, parents, and the State.
