Academics:

Rtapalli follows a highly enriching academic programme taking the Orissa Board of Secondary Education curriculum as its first building block. In addition, students learn advanced topics in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and computer science. Strong emphasis is given to Sanskrit, Oriya and English literature. Our students also learn to recite from the Vedas.

More importantly Rtapalli provides an extraordinary opportunity to its 9th and 10th class students to take online courses from renowned professors and scientists at prestigious universities around the world. This is possible because of a strong foundation given in Classes 6-8. Some aspects of our advanced curriculum are shown below:
