The year 1988 opened up a new admirable chapter in the education scene of Raipur city. This was the time, nearly 25 years back when that morning The Radiant Sun raised, it started paving a radiant path for the school going children of the city. This was the year when late Mrs. Shirin Dube founded a nursery and LKG school with only 11 students. This school was named The Radiant Way School, the number of students raised to 42 in very next year. This school was opened by Shirin Ji at Doongaji Colony just near her residence for which a four room building was used to accommodate the school. This proved to be an encouraging response to Shirin Ji. As such the school was made a primary school from the year 1995 when class one was started in the school after a long consideration and persuasion from the children’s parents.

Mrs. Shirin Dube belonged to one of the most affluent, cultured, and reputed family of the city. Secondly she was married to an academician, Shri Mangal Dube who also came from a very reputed family and working as a Professor in the Raipur Engineering College. But she and one of her friend Mrs. Deepali Kale were of the idea that though the city of Raipur has several institutions offering school education, they felt that there is a need of providing the highest level of education in affordable expenses.

“WE STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE” has been the motto of this school since it was founded. This school is run by Shri Mangal Dube Memorial Education Society named after late Professor Mangal Dube who himself was an educator of repute. He worked as professor of Applied Geology at Government College of Engineering and Technology, Raipur.

The aim of the school is student’s all-round development with utmost diligence and fostering a sense of confidence in them. They are nurtured to become a good citizen blended with excellent virtues and best academic performance. The students are also made aware of all social, civic, and moral responsibilities, duties and rights. The school does not believe in following routine, conventional stereotyped patterns of education, rather it adopts innovative and reflective ideas which are student friendly at one hand where as at the other hand it discourages spoon feeding and cramming the children.

There are several schools for rich and affluent people which are not affordable to the middle class people, than there are several government schools which catered the needs of poor people. This situation gave the idea of founding a school which can give education of the highest standards but at the same time the fee structure of which could be afforded by an average middle class family. And thus this school The Radiant Way was created, which is celebrating the Silver Jubilee of its foundation. The journey of this school from 11 students in 1988 to 1500 today has not been smooth. There were several hurdles on the path but the determination and commitment of Shirin Ji and later by her successors made it possible the now it occupies the glorious position among the best schools of not only the city of Raipur but in the entire state of Chhattisgarh too.

When the school was in its formative stage and was just four years old the sudden demise of Prof. Mangal Dube broke Shirin Ji, but facing this tragic phase also she did not run away from her commitment of developing this school and continued to work with all possible efforts to make her dream true. There after she continued to develop the school for further one and a half decade till her death in the year 2008. It was a co-incidence that till then the first batch of Higher Secondary had passed out in the year 2007. This would definitely been a solace to her. After her demise the responsibilities of this prestigious institution came on the shoulders of Shri. Sameer Dube who is working as Director with highly energetic and catalytic support of Mrs. Bhavna Dube, his wife working as principal following the norms, standards, and inspirations of the founder, Shirin Ji.

The first Primary batch passed out in the year 1999, followed by First Middle batch in 2002, first High School batch in 2004, and first Higher Secondary batch in the year 2007.Radiant Way is affiliated to the prestigious School Certification Institution, Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination, New Delhi (CISCE) There are around 1300 schools only in the entire country which are affiliated to CISCE and The Radiant Way is a proud one among those. It needs special mention that there are nearly 1400000 (Fourteen Lacs) schools in the entire country of which only 1300 are affiliated with CISCE, is not it a remarkable recognition for the Radiant Way. The syllabus of CISCE gives the students incredible command over English language and amazing communication skill that they can confidently step into the competitive world.

Presently the school offers higher secondary education in Mathematics, Biology & Commerce. While School strives for formal education simultaneously it also facilitates the students with various other extra-curricular opportunities for their overall personality development. The school has well equipped Chemistry, Physics, Biology & Computers lab. It also has developed I-Class with Audio & video learning & practicing. The school library has over 10000 books in its collection, all of which are aimed for improving better know-how & world view of the students. School also has classical music & dance learning facilities for which there are individual vocal and instrumental music teachers & a Bharatnatyam dance teacher. There are sprawling grounds for various games like Basket Ball, cricket, football, Volleyball, Khokho, Kabaddi etc. & facilities for playing indoor games like carom, Chess etc. under the expert guidance of 3 sport teachers. There are also arrangement for improving the creative activity of the students for which the school has teachers who guide the students in learning, practicing, and improvisation of communication skill, drawing, painting, writing, crafts skill, re-structuring etc. school also offers the students learning of vedic maths.

The school uniform is very casual one comprising of cotton T shirts. Committed to confidence building of the students the school provides extremely familiar atmosphere. The school is run in its own building which is spread in seven acres of land. This building was inaugurated by Shri Ajit Jogi, the than Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh on 27th November 2000. While there where only 8 rooms in this school when it was founded in the year 1988, presently it has 50 rooms in its new premises. Similarly while there where only three teachers in the year 1988 it has now a team of 85 members of highly learned teaching staff.

The school doesn't believe that only study is important for students but encourages extracurricular activities like reading, recitation, creative writing, painting, drawing, drama, quiz, dance, music and sports indoor as well as outdoor. The school children participate in various intra and inter school competitions and come up with flying colours. The school always motivates the students to show their flair by organizing different intra school competitions and also participating in different inter school competitions in the city, state and the country which helps children in shaping up their personality.

The students of this school have excelled in various state level and national competitions & brought feathers in school caps. There have been instances when the students of the school scored marks between 90 to 100 percents in there final examinations and a number of them are pursuing courses of medicine, engineering, law, account's & commerce which are matter of pride for this school.

To day we are celebrating the silver jubilee of The Radiant Way School. On this occasion feeling satisfied with the achievements made so far is not the proper way of celebration, the actual celebration would be to make a commitment for further development of the standard of education, teaching skills of the tutors & incorporation of newer & newer methodology & facilities for the students so that when they come out from here they are the best citizens of country enriched with highest level of knowledge of school learning.

There are numerous stars twinkling in the sky. It seems two of these stars are perhaps late Mrs. Shirin Dube and late Prof. Mangal Dube the founders of the school who are witnessing the joyous moment of the silver jubilee celebration of their brain child, The Radiant Way School. They must be feeling extremely happy that the Radiant Way has become the most favored institution for the parents for schooling of their children. They must also be very happy with great amount of satisfaction that the school has really translated it's name into reality by making a pavement of bright path of enlightenment, knowledge and confidence for the students of The Radiant Way School.
