Co-Curricular
Welcome to The School of Raya, a proposed IB continuum school, where education transcends the ordinary, inviting students to embrace a transformative journey, like no other.
At the heart of our pedagogy lies the belief that education is an ever
-evolving journey, a seamless continuum that transcends traditional
boundaries. The IB framework provides the foundation, offering a
comprehensive curriculum that encourages critical thinking, curiosity, and a
holistic understanding of the world.
Yet, we don't merely follow a curriculum; we dance with it. Inspired by the
concept of flow, we strive to create an environment where students are not
passive recipients of information but active participants in their learning.
Imagine a classroom where learning is a joyous exploration, where questions are as important as answers and where every day is a bright new adventure. At Raya, the Primary Year Programme (PYP) is an invitation for children to embrace the world with wide-eyed wonder.
The Middle Year Programme (MYP) at Raya is a time of self-discovery and deeper understanding of everything beyond. It’s a stage where academic excellence converges with personal growth. Where subjects are taught not to simply know by heart, but to fall in love with, shaping not just minds but futures too.
The School of Raya is an IB World School authorised to offer the IB Diploma Programme
Raya's Diploma Programme (DP) is being designed to provide an enriching and comprehensive educational experience, equipping students with the skills needed for higher education as well as the practical knowledge essential for navigating life's diverse career paths.
At Raya, sports isn't just about winning; it's about the adrenaline rush of scaling our rock climbing wall, the finesse of a well-played game on our turf, and the thrill of conquering India's largest school skatepark. With 85,000 sq. ft. of outdoor space dedicated to athletics, every move is an opportunity for our students to discover their potential.
Every student at Raya is a student of the arts – and a talent. From exploring varied visual arts techniques to igniting the stage with confident performances, they are encouraged to explore, create, and express themselves, with the campus doubling as the biggest canvas of them all.
What unfolds when education transcends the conventional? A Makerspace, designed to ignite innovation, a Collaboration Zone fostering teamwork, an Entrepreneurship Cell where ambition sparks early, and Design Thinking that teaches respecting and disrupting boundaries. Every corner at Raya is an opportunity for growth.
Meals at Raya aren't just served; they're mindfully curated, fostering community and enriching the student experience with complete nourishment and culinary delight with organically sourced foods that are cooked in-house.
Beyond academics, Raya nurtures a thriving environment, offering mental well-being initiatives and fully equipped health facilities, ensuring every student's flourishing vitality and overall well-being.
Our ethos seamlessly integrates environmental consciousness into every aspect of learning, shaping responsible and forward-thinking individuals committed to a sustainable future for all.
Raya embodies the essence of education rather than just
offering it, going beyond facilities, infrastructure, and the
IB curriculum. We believe in unshackled, continuous
learning, fostering a full-circle learning experience, that
allows children to excel in every facet of their personality,
echoing the circularity of life itself.
Education to us, is not just about simply understanding
but actively engaging with, and applying knowledge in the
real world. We are a space that seamlessly blends nature
and nurture - transforming the ordinary into the
extraordinary, inviting self-discovery and exploration at
every turn. Where subjects are not confined to academic settings,
they come alive.
Recognising the distinctive path of every student, Raya
cultivates an atmosphere that not only encourages but
revels in personal growth. It's an environment where
individuality not only survives but flourishes. At Raya,
children discover the resilience to overcome challenges,
appreciate the journey, and embrace the entirety of their
unique experiences.
Raya seamlessly integrates academics, sports, and the
arts, fostering an environment that embraces adventure
and holistic development. Our sporting options abound
with over 20 activities, and our cultural offerings include
two music rooms, a drama studio, a media lab, a visual
arts studio, and a theatre complemented by a grand
auditorium for captivating performances. Sprawling
across 8.5 acres, our campus is not just a space; it's an
adventure waiting to unfold.
Raya's approach moulds minds that are free to explore,
question, and think for themselves, creating a liberating
experience that readies students for a world that values
independent thought. Our teachers embody this ethos,
practising what they preach.
