RDF uses a holistic education model that focuses on academic inputs and activities simultaneously in order build character and confidence among the students.
Kalleda School has adopted ‘Grow by Reading’, a library and reading program that focuses on building reading skills among children. Teachers also contribute towards the growth of individual learning levels of the student.
RDF’s schools are grooming students for leadership roles: those who master concepts quickly are given opportunities to be student teachers. Examples include Science experiments, creative arts projects and peer and teacher evaluations.
RDF focuses intensively on teacher and student training. Teachers routinely undergo training in specific subjects or general capacity building programs.
In its pursuit of offering holistic education, RDF weans away from focusing on academic results only and encourages students to reach their potential and follow their passions.
METHODOLOGY
The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size.
EDUCATE
First and foremost, RDF’s focus is on quality education. We believe that poverty is a vicious cycle and access to good education is the most successful way to break out of it. To give children knowledge is to give them something that will remain with them forever, something no one can take away or make useless. Recognizing this fact and also the responsibility that comes with shaping young minds, RDF is determined to go beyond the traditional method of rote memorization. By implementing interactive teaching methods that promote critical thinking and analysis, we are not only educating children to pass tests, we are educating them to take on the world and change lives.

In order to ensure that children in Government schools will also have the access to quality education, we utilize our human and material resources for the benefit of these students. As a result of this attempt and as part of our larger vision to extend education to a larger community, we have tied up with Tech Mahindra Foundation in 2014 and adopted 2 Government schools in Bahadurpally. RDF staff train and guide teachers to embody our values of play-learning, the importance of creativity and sports. Rigorously trained alumni of RDF schools are placed in these schools, closely monitored by the senior staff from RDF schools.
TMF School received the ‘Haritha Mitra’ award on 15th August 2018. This award was given at the District level by the State Home Minister, Sri. Nayini Narsimha Reddy, for greening the environment and maintaining the school surroundings in a neat manner!
Both schools have been awarded as the best schools in the district for the year 2016.
