Rajghat Besant School is an alternate school serving families in India. A Krishnamurti Foundation India school on the Rajghat Fort campus where the Varuna meets the Ganga in Varanasi, running CBSE from Class III to XII with boarding compulsory from Class VI. It teaches the CBSE curriculum across class iii–xii, with accreditation or pathway listed as CBSE affiliation no. 2130016 (school no. 71290), valid to 31 March 2028.
Boarding becomes compulsory from Class VI, so a Varanasi family wanting a day place has only three years of it. First-year cost for a new boarder runs about ₹7.0–8.7 lakh depending on class. Meals are strictly vegetarian campus-wide, including for visiting parents. Independent review coverage is unusually thin for a school founded in 1934 — SchoolMyKids, Ezyschooling, Yellow Slate and MouthShut all show zero reviews, and the only independent entry found anywhere is a 2021 Glassdoor review from a member of staff, which praises the facilities, food and campus but says the school does not follow the Krishnamurti teaching in practice — a staff perspective rather than a parent one. No public CBSE board-result data was found.

ℹ️ Day-scholar places exist only in Classes III–V. From Class VI the school requires a transition to boarding.
