Riverside School is a progressive, independent school in Ahmedabad, India, reimagining what education can be. Since 2001, Riverside has championed an approach that places creativity, inquiry, and holistic well-being at the heart of learning.

Recognized globally for its pioneering work in education and the recipient of multiple international awards, Riverside has not only transformed learning within its own walls but has also sparked a wider movement. It is the birthplace of Design for Change, a global movement empowering children to drive change, and home to the Riverside Learning Center, through which the school shares its practices with educators and institutions across the world.
At the core of Riverside’s philosophy is the user-centered “I Can” curriculum—a powerful framework that nurtures not just academic excellence, but a deep sense of agency in every child. It enables students to become aware of the world around them, equips them with the skills to take meaningful action, and empowers them to design a more compassionate and sustainable future.

More than a school, Riverside is a movement—offering an alternative vision of education where quality learning and student well-being go hand in hand, and where every child grows up believing: I can.
