'There is only one child in the world and that child's name is ALL children.' —Carl Sandburg

Riverside School believes and promotes inclusive education systems that removes barriers limiting the participation and achievement for all learners, respects diverse needs, abilities, and characteristics, and eliminates all forms of discrimination in the learning environment.

At the heart of The Riverside School is the acknowledgment of every child’s need and the experiences that allows all children to bloom into a life which is ripe with joy and good health. The need comes in different colors - physical, cognitive, social, emotional and spiritual; each of these constitute an indispensable part of the 'right to life'. Since the beauty of life lies in its multifarious hues, conscious investment in every child makes it what it is - a mosaic, with every stroke rightly done to bring out the veiled potential.

There are various programs designed for the same, ensuring that every member of the Riverside community feels a sense of belonging and value.

SOCIAL INCLUSION

Schools are facing challenges in making the RTE process inclusive and equitable for students from different social & economic backgrounds. The law does not address the need to make student, teacher, parent & community relationships more complete and effective. There is a disparity in the RTE rules and in the way it’s implemented across states. Parents of students under RTE are often unable to help them with day-to-day studies due to illiteracy or lack of English language skills.

All learners have the 'Right to be Educated'. Some deserve that right, some preserve that right!

The effort of inclusion becomes empowered manifold, when every teacher, student and parent celebrates the diversity in the classroom and contributes in meaningful ways to make a difference. Acceptance of a child under RTE and immersion in the regular schooling system is just the first step of inclusion. Equally important are the various support initiatives that the school extends to the RTE child and parent, with a vision of inspiring and enriching them holistically.

The Riverside School has embraced the spirit of the Right to Education Act and opened its heart, mind and campus to children who come from economically disadvantaged families starting from the academic year 2011-2012.

These children are supported by parents who have adopted this cause and root for their success. They will have a future that they would possibly not have had otherwise – and this will be due to the emotional, spiritual and financial support that they receive at the school.
