Santej Campus (Class 1 to Class 12)

CISCE Affiliation No. GU034

ACADEMIC YEAR 2024-25

FEE STRUCTURE AND IMPORTANT DETAILS FOR PARENTS

LOCATION
Redbricks School main campus is located on Rancharda – Santej Road, an upcoming educational hub and beautiful
area in Ahmedabad. It is about 15 kms from Judges Bunglow crossroads and 10 kms from S.P. Ring Road.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES

The campus is spread across 8 acres and is designed to have separate multiple blocks housing classrooms of
different ages and other facilities for holistic learning and development. It is being built in a phased manner with
the school’s strength increasing over the years. The campus has a unique environmentally sustainable mud
architectural design, which has temperature-controlling properties inside its rooms. It has inspiring spaces where
children can explore and experience learning in natural surroundings.

With the environmental responsibility perspective in mind, the school does not promote the use of Air-conditioners
in all classrooms and its buses. The school also believes that children need to experience naturalistic environments
rather than shielding them through artificial facilities. During the peak summer month of April, shorter school
timings are considered as and when required.

ACADEMICS
Redbricks School is a Class 1 to Class 12 School with Primary Years Program (Class 1 to Class 6), and Senior School
Program (Class 7 to Class 12). It is currently affiliated with the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations,
New Delhi (CISCE), and is projected to also affiliate with an International board (mostly the Cambridge Assessment
International Education, UK (CAIE) board- commonly known as Cambridge board) for high school examinations.
International board batch will be started subject to a minimum strength of students required to justify the cost and
delivery of the program. The fees for the international board program will be determined and declared while
starting the first batch.

- CISCE Board offers ICSE (Class 9,10) and ISC (Class 11,12) Qualifications for high school.
- CAIE Board offers IGCSE (Class 9,10) and A & AS Levels (Class 11,12) Qualifications for high school.

In Class 1 to Class 8, the core subjects are- Mathematics, English, Hindi, Gujarati, Environmental Science (Science
and Social Science from class 7 onwards), and Information & Communications Technology (ICT).

As per recent regulations, Gujarati should be taught as a compulsory third language upto Class 8 and schools are to
introduce this in a phased manner over the years. French is provided as an option for students who are eligible for
exemption. More details for each grade will be shared separately with parents.

In Class 9 & 10 ICSE, the compulsory subjects are - English, Hindi, History, Civics and Geography, Mathematics, and
Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology). Students can choose any one subject between Computer Applications and
Art.

In Class 11 and Class 12 ISC, the school plans to offer all three streams – Science, Commerce and Humanities over
the long run. However, in the initial years, the type and number of streams and subjects offered will be dependent
on the projected student count for these streams. The school has already seen one batch of Class 12 ISC Commerce
and six batches of Class 10 ICSE pass out with exceptional performance.

1
- For Academic Year 2024-25, Science, Commerce and Humanities streams are being offered to the incoming
Class 11 students. Subjects being offered in Science stream are English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Maths,

LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

The school believes in holistic development of children and therefore has developed a program with a range of
initiatives and activities offered to children. These activities contribute towards development of important life skills
required to succeed in life, especially in the 21st century. Parents have the choice to enroll their children in
Redbricks School with this knowledge and appreciation for the holistic development of their child.

The range of activities covered under Life Skills Development is given as below:

A) Co-curricular Activities*
Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Chess, Cricket, Football, Kabaddi, Kho-Kho,
Sports & Games Martial Arts, Table Tennis, Volleyball, Yoga. (different sports will be offered for
different age groups and over the years)
Dramatics, Music, Dance, Visual Art & Design (combinations of
Visual and Performing Arts different art forms may change over the years)

Student-led Exhibitions, Inter-school Events, Community engagement

activities, Visiting Experts & Apprenticeships, Career Exposure activities, Film
Exposure Activities screenings & discussions, International Exchange Programs, Seminars on
various topics

*The above list is indicative and does not limit the school’s right to make changes to the activities offered based on
program innovation and other requirements.

B) Extra-curricular Activities

● Self-Enrichment Program- focused on the development of Personality, Life Skills, Emotional

Intelligence and Character/Values. Child safety education is also included in this program to help our
children keep themselves physically and psychologically safe amidst unprecedented challenges and
pressures in today’s world.
● Talent Development Program- focused on exploration and enhancement of all the eight multiple
intelligences of children, cultivating design thinking and to provide exposure and development of
various career and vocational skills. This is a unique program conducted through a project-based
pedagogy.
○ Class 1-4: Conducted through “Interest Centers” around each Intelligence & integrated with Performing Arts.
○ Class 5-8: “Enrichment Clusters” for vocational experience with experts from different fields (Environment
Sustainability, Home Economics, Performing Arts, Entrepreneurship)
3
 ○ Class 9-12: “Socially Useful Productive Work (SUPW)” / Craft Apprenticeship and Community Service Projects
● IAYP Program and Award: In Class 9-Class 12, students also pursue skill based, adventure and
community service activities to earn external recognition in the form of the International Award for
Young People (IAYP) (https://www.iayp.in) (optional for Class 11 & 12 students).

C) Whole School Activities and Events

● Assembly Activities: A platform for children to learn from multiple people, connect to important
values being a part of the larger school community, showcase their talents, and practice
physical, mental and emotional well-being.
● House System - Ashoka House, Chandra Gupta Maurya House, Maharana Pratap House,
Vikramaditya House: Inter-house activities and competitions, Student council, Investiture ceremony
● Participation in External and Inter-school competitions: Participation is more emphasized and valued until
Class 4 than competition. Competitions play a smaller role in primary years at Redbricks, when the key focus is
on encouraging children to participate and developing their confidence and internal motivation. Redbricks
students are provided with multiple opportunities to participate in a range of internal and external
competitions.
● Ongoing Events & Celebrations (Festivals, National and International Day Celebrations, Whole school events)

D) Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) and Life Skills integrated within the Academic Program
● The school believes that socio-emotional learning and life skills development should be integrated across the
school-wide experiences and culture.
● Therefore the school invests heavily in training and coaching all its teachers to embed SEL and life skills
education throughout the curriculum, pedagogy and instruction of all subjects. Life skills include skills such as
Learning and Innovation skills, Thinking skills (critical, creative, reflective), Social and Emotional (SEL)
skills/Emotional Intelligence, Career skills (adaptability, initiative, productivity, leadership, etc.), and
Technological skills, amongst others.
● Ongoing parent education workshops and educational events are also planned and hosted with this purpose.

EDTECH POLICY AND STRATEGY

With the recent experience of remote learning during the pandemic, the school has developed a renewed focus on
adopting technology in education for a better schooling experience. We also understand that technology has its
own limitations and should be used judiciously especially when working with children.

Currently the school adopts technology in following ways-

● Google Classroom for asynchronous communication and learning
● Video Conferencing tools (Google Meet/Zoom) for virtual classes/office hours/workshops
● Audio-Visual Tools for enhancing the learning experience
● Teaching Technological Skills and Online Responsibility to students
● School-Home Communication through Edunext Parent APP
● Parent Partnership - periodic surveys, online meetings/workshops as required

During a regular physical school experience, we do not expect students to have their own personal devices for
learning purposes. They can share devices with other family members as required for asynchronous learning /
periodic synchronous learning from home. As a part of the student code of conduct, students are not allowed to
bring any technological devices to the school.

Please note that during the pandemic when the school had to fully shift to remote learning, it was critical for each
student to have access to one device for a few hours a day for learning purposes. Similar future situations may
require such an access.

HOMEWORK POLICY
● A clear weekly homework schedule is prepared according to the age level of children. The homework is
usually application-based or linked to concepts already taught in class for reinforcement.
4
● Expected to be done by children, and not adults.
● Teachers may also use homework as a tool to enable ‘flipped learning’ - that is ‘knowledge acquisition’ at home
and ‘knowledge application’ in the school. This helps children develop deeper understanding, problem solving
abilities and higher-order thinking skills.

TUITION POLICY
● No external tuition is allowed for primary grades (atleast until completion of Class 4). Children with special
needs/learning disabilities might need after-school special education with qualified special educators, and that
should be provided by the parents.
● Extra academic support will be provided at the school if the need is identified between the parents,
teachers, and principal. Remedial classes are only offered for English and Maths subjects for students
who are identified to be eligible for these classes (they need to demonstrate a significant skill gap for
these purposes). Remedials in Hindi/other core subjects might be offered for selected students in senior
school. For other subjects, the teachers may suggest extra activities/rigour which parents can do at
home.
● Tuition needs can be discussed with the teacher and principal, after which a joint decision can be
taken in the interest of the child.
● Redbricks Teachers are strictly prohibited from taking tuition/extra classes of Redbricks students
beyond the school. Parents should not approach Redbricks teachers for after-school tuition
purposes.

TEXTBOOKS
● We have chosen textbooks that are creative and application-oriented, and that align with the
requirements of CBSE (NCERT), CISCE and International Cambridge (CAIE) boards until Class 6. From Class
7, textbooks aligned to the CISCE board requirements are used to align to the board curriculum
requirements.
● These are supplemented by materials developed in-house by our academic team.
● Textbooks are not used as bibles, but as reference books for students and teachers, especially until Class 6.
● English is taught through a literature program which uses carefully selected, award-winning children’s literature
books from India and around the world. (Class 1-6 fully, Class 7 onwards partially)

PARENT ENGAGEMENT AND INVOLVEMENT

● There is a need for a trusting relationship and ongoing two-way dialogue between the parents and school.
Continuous sharing and learning from each other happens through home visits, periodic Parent- teacher
meetings (PTM’s) and other avenues.
● Regular PTMs are conducted throughout the year. We hope and expect that parents would attend at least
90% of the PTMs conducted in the year. Parents can request for an individual meeting with the teacher to
discuss specific individual concerns or issues through the Edunext Parent APP or the front desk counselor.
Parents are requested to be patient to get such appointments based on teachers’ availability.
● Ongoing Parent Education workshops by teachers and other experts are conducted on various topics.
Attendance of at-least one parent in each workshop is expected.
● With the advent of technology, the school also conducts some PTMs / Parent workshops over video
conferencing platforms for better access.

STUDENT COUNSELING & SUPPORT

● We understand that all learning is inherently emotional, not just cognitive. Students require ongoing socio-
emotional guidance and support to excel academically and to thrive & flourish as individuals. We have a
strong counseling services arm with experienced, full-time psychologists who work with students,
teachers, parents and all stakeholders to promote student learning and well-being.
● Counselors track the progress of all children and focus on building their socio-emotional skills through
individualized/group counseling sessions. Parent consent is taken before formal individualized counseling
sessions or any form of formal testing/assessment by the counselor. If parents do not provide their
consent for counseling, the counselor may still interact with the child as required for issues impacting not
only his academic/behavioral performance but also that of others in the class/school community.
● Parents can also consult the school counselors for parenting advice or parenting related counseling by
seeking an appointment through the front desk counselor.
5
 ● Sometimes to help a child, proper diagnosis becomes very important. In some cases, the counselor might
ask a parent to undertake the child’s psychological/learning related assessment from an external expert
(of their choice) and provide the report to the school. It is extremely important that the parents co-
operate with the school for such requirements, as the school can only help a child with specific challenges
or needs after a proper expert diagnosis.
● In general, the school keeps a close track of students with academic and/or behavioral challenges and
constantly plans for interventions (internal/external) for their benefit. Periodically, additional external
interventions in the form of specialized therapies / special education might also be suggested to parents to
supplement the school’s internal efforts in helping the child. A high degree of parent cooperation is
required for the school to plan and implement such interventions. In the absence of such parent co-
operation, the school may not be able to help much with children’s progress.
● Alternative streams such as NIOS or easier examination boards may be suggested to some students in
extreme situations, when it seems that they will be unable to cope up with the academic standards of the
school and its selected board.

CAREER EXPOSURE AND GUIDANCE

● At Redbricks, we believe in enabling long-term success for students across three areas: academic, career
and life success. Building towards career success starts at an early age through various exposure activities
that help children gain insights into their natural potential, build their talents & experience opportunities
which give them a real-world career exposure. As they grow older, they become confident and clearer
about the career choices they need to make after high school.
● Career Exposure - Students, across all ages, are exposed to various fields and careers through a
combination of real-world projects & assignments, field visits/field work and professional expert
interactions.
● Career Guidance- The school guides senior school students (and their parents) throughout these years for
making the right career choices considering their overall aptitude, interests and personality. This is done in
a variety of ways including information sessions with career experts, career planning workshops, and
individualized guidance.

ADMISSION PROCEDURE
● Parents have to obtain the Admission Form (online link) from the front desk Counselor.

Road

Note:
● The school has designed standard bus routes which cover these areas with required stops. The bus stops are
planned in a way that they are closely accessible for most students while also not adding too much to the total
travel time. We request parents to adhere to these stops and make a selection from the provided stops.
Requests for new stops will not be entertained unless required for critical reasons.
● The standard route chart will be shared with parents at the start of the year for continuing students/ at the
time of admission for new admissions, for taking a confirmation on the selected route and pick up/drop point
from the chart.
● We would also recommend that Parents stick to the choice of their pick up/drop up throughout the academic
year. We do understand that due to change in residence sometimes change is needed in such cases, please
inform us well ahead through email to the front desk counselor. In such cases, the school will make all the efforts
10
 to give the best possible solution keeping in view the transportation constraints. We recommend that Parents
should accept the solution finalized by the school transportation team.
● We have experienced parents asking for temporary changes of bus pick up/drops to manage the child's social/
or other schedules. Please note we discourage such practices, because it will disrupt our standardized
checks/monitoring, and increase security risks of your child traveling in the wrong bus, or waiting at the wrong
drop point, which is a huge security risk.
● The management reserves the right to change, remove, or add any new bus route or stop to existing ones as
and when required.
● School Teachers/Staff members accompany students in the morning bus routes. All Buses have installed GPS systems
and CCTV cameras for safety monitoring.
● We operate a mix of 3-seater and 2-seater buses. Please be advised that when three students are required to sit on
one seat, they are 3-seater buses as per manufacturer’s capacity. We plan the seating arrangements in the buses
keeping in view the manufacturer’s capacity, in the best possible manner and maximum convenience possible for the
travelers. We advise students to not occupy space on their seats with their bags, as that impacts the overall bus
capacity utilization thereby increasing operating costs and transport charges.
