The Riverside School

A night that began with tiny backpacks and big excitement turned into something much more — stirring their own meals, walking through nature with curious eyes, and discovering what it feels like to stay together at school after the sun goes down.
For KeyStage 1, it wasn’t just a night out… it was a night of trying, learning, laughing, and growing — one small experience at a time. ✨

Well wishes from around the world continue to pour in even after the 25-year milestone of The Riverside School, Ahmedabad on 18th January. 🌍✨
Grateful to the global Design for Change community for celebrating this journey and keeping the I CAN spirit alive across borders.

As Riverside completed 25 years, we reflected with deep gratitude on a journey shaped by one belief — that every child can.

Over the years, that belief translated into meaningful impact:

• Consistently among the Top 10 schools in India
• Recognised as the World’s Best School for Innovation
• aProCh (2007), reaching 15 lakh children, helping them engage with real civic challenges
• Design for Change (2009), enabling over 2 million children worldwide to use design thinking to create change
• RLC (Riverside Learning Centre), taking the I CAN Approach to educators and schools across the globe

Beyond every milestone were the people — educators, parents, and children — who trusted the journey and shaped it together.

What began with one child finding his voice became a global movement of children who believe I CAN.

Thank you for 25 years.
