Which curriculum does the school follow?
Red Fort International Public School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.

Is background verification done before joining?
Yes — most schools run document and reference verification, and many use third-party background checks. Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready.

Is school transport available for staff?
