What parents should know and ask before admission to Ryan International School, Bavdhan

Ryan International School in Bavdhan, Pune, is part of the Ryan Group of Institutions. The school is at Aditya Shagun Nisarg on the Mumbai-Bangalore bypass highway, next to Sehgal Automobiles, and its pin code is 411021. It started in 2014, teaches the ICSE curriculum and is co-educational. According to the school's current official profile, classes run from Montessori to Class 10, and the primary section is affiliated with Cambridge International Examinations. The medium of instruction is English. The profile names Arti Chanana as principal.

Parents should understand one point in particular. Ryan Group schools across the country run under CBSE, ICSE and other boards, so the information here applies only to the Bavdhan school. It cannot be applied automatically to any other Ryan campus. The school's public page mixes group-level and campus-level information, so it would be wise to confirm by asking which classes and subjects are currently running in Bavdhan.

On teaching methods, the school cites activity-based, collaborative and experiential learning. It says it combines older teaching principles with new programmes. The school describes its thinking as the KASSM approach: Knowledge, Attitude, Skills, Social values and Moral values. Its aim is to help children grow in academics, social life, emotions and morals, and to make them responsible global citizens.

On technology, the campus has an Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) and an innovation lab. According to the school, the ATL covers work such as computational thinking, physical computing, design, problem solving, fabrication, innovation and product development. In the innovation lab, children work with materials and test mechanics, chemicals and product making. However, sufficient campus-level evidence was not found of a formal AI curriculum in all classes. How coding and robotics run class by class will also have to be asked of the school directly. The same applies to a formal financial literacy programme.

For sport, the school lists a football turf, a basketball court and an indoor swimming pool among its facilities. In 2026 the Ryan Group announced a partnership with the All India Football Federation to start organised football and futsal programmes in its schools. But it remains to be checked whether such group-level programmes are currently running in Bavdhan. The same caution should apply to activities such as Model United Nations, theatre, music, dance, international trips and the group's International Children's Festival of Performing Arts.

On labs, the campus is described as having physics, chemistry, biology, IT and maths labs, smart boards and digital classroom technology. The school says each class has about 30 children, which allows individual attention to each child. It describes itself as having a safe and supportive environment and says Ryan schools follow child-protection and safety standards. However, no recent public information was found on how many counsellors or special educators there are in Bavdhan. Parents should also ask about CCTV, fire safety, school buses and swimming pool safety arrangements.

On fees, no reliable, current fee list for all classes at the Bavdhan campus was found in public, so older figures are not given here. Transport fees also have to be obtained from the school. Parents should ask for the latest fee sheet and ask separately about registration, admission, tuition, annual charges, books, uniform, examination and technology fees, because the comparison should be of the total annual cost, not tuition fees alone.

For admission, Ryan's digital system is central, but each campus handles its own requirements and available seats. The group has schools in more than 40 cities, and current Ryan students can seek an inter-Ryan transfer under a set process. Dates for Bavdhan's 2026-27 and 2027-28 admissions should be confirmed directly with the campus. Parents should also ask for Bavdhan's own ICSE Class 10 results, subject-wise performance and figures on further studies, because the results of another Ryan campus cannot be taken as this school's. They should also check the school commute beforehand, since in Pune traffic even a short distance can become a long journey.
