More than Three decades of dedication, perseverance and commitment to shaping the future of children across the Valley.
RP School began with a simple yet enduring belief: that the children of Kashmir deserve an education rooted in knowledge, care and strong moral values. This page offers a glimpse into our journey, our history and the principles that have shaped usâand continue to guide us in nurturing not only capable minds, but good human beings.
What we try to stand for.
Our Mission
RP stands for Radiant Public School. Its mission, as the name indicates, is to disseminate the radiance of knowledge to the people of the Valley and the rest of the world.
The first Aayat which was revealed to Prophet Muhammad SAL is (IQRA) which means "to read". Prophet Muhammad SAL is reported to have said: âSeeking knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim, male or femaleâ.
We are fully committed to providing children, irrespective of religion, creed, caste and gender, the best opportunity to receive balanced education.
By balanced education we mean the education which cements our relation with Allah Ta'aala, the Sustainer and the Creator of this cosmos and whatever is in it, and to acquaint the students with basic human values and manners.
Our Vision
Our main aim and objective is to see our students growing into virtuous and responsible citizens, who will serve the society.
They should understand what the purpose of life is and why they have been created and sent down on to this planet.
We wish to see our students in every sphere of life, whether Education, Medicine, Civil Services, Engineers, Entrepreneurs and so on.
They should be able to compete with other international students and at the same time be grounded in their faith and culture.
Your cooperation and complete trust in the school management can transfer this dream into reality, Insha Allah.
Five things we try to hold to.
Integrity
We try to be honest in what we say, fair in what we do, and true to our word.
Discipline
We try to cultivate self-discipline, responsibility and respect for what we commit ourselves to.
Respect
We try to listen with patience, speak with kindness and treat every person with dignity.
Curiosity
We try to welcome questions, encourage exploration and remain open to learning.
Community
We recognise that our work depends on the trust, support and goodwill of the community we serve.
Thirty-five years, briefly.
A journey of dedication, growth and commitment to education across the Valley.
If we glance at the Kashmir Valley in 1990, we would find that it underwent a difficult phase of chaos, confusion and depression. The education system was badly hit, and in the midst of these unfavourable circumstances, RP School started its voyage in the ocean of education.
Having deep faith in Almighty Allah, we took up the challenge and established Al-Huda Public School, which was later named as Radiant Public School. It was started by the descendants of Abdul Salam Mir, who was the husband of Zainab. She was the woman whose spiritual guidance enabled us to start this venture.
Praise to Almighty Allah, the school is standing among the top ten schools of the Valley.
Founded
Opened with 60 students and five teachers in a rented building near Mala Bagh, Srinagar.
Growing with the Community
What began with a small team grew into a dedicated staff of more than 25, nurturing the learning and growth of over 300 students in our co-educational campus.
Our Own Campus
Responding to growing demand and limited space, we established our dedicated Boysâ Wing at Alamdar Colony, marking an important step in the schoolâs journey.
Expanding Our Campus
In 2006, we expanded our main building to create dedicated spaces for a Science Lab, Computer Lab, Library and Auditorium, strengthening the facilities that supported both academic and co-curricular learning.
Growing Beyond Academics
Alongside strong Board results, we expanded Physical Education, introduced student clubs and enriched co-curricular activities, creating opportunities for students to explore and grow beyond the classroom.
Raising the Bar
Continued academic growth brought outstanding Board results, with our students securing places among the Top 10 schools in the Board examinations, including First Position, reflecting our sustained commitment to academic excellence.
Embracing Digital Learning
We integrated smart classrooms and digital learning tools into everyday teaching, while introducing a dedicated STEM Lab to encourage hands-on exploration, innovation and problem-solving.
35 Years & Growing
35 years of growth, with 120+ staff, 1,800+ students and a strong community of alumni and parents, continuing a journey rooted in our founding values.
A few words from those who lead the school.
A few ways our beliefs shape the campus.
Rooted in Values, Ready for the World
Our campus is designed to create an environment where students remain deeply rooted in morals, values and culture, while developing the knowledge, confidence and skills to engage with the wider world.
Curiosity & Creativity
Our campus gives children the space to question, explore and createâturning everyday learning into opportunities to discover, experiment and imagine.
Shared Responsibility
Our campus is a shared space, where parents, teachers and the wider community come together to support every child. We believe that a childâs growth is a collective responsibility, built on trust, communication and shared care.
