Academics

Schooling at primary level (classes I-V) employs a curriculum which makes use of recreational resources and activity driven approaches like illustration of concepts through projects, multimedia, field trips, etc. to strengthen students’ knowledge base. Children are initiated into reading, developing scientific temper, developing reasoning ability, acquiring language skills through active speaking-listening programmes, nurturing creative talent and introducing digital skills which engage students to become inquirers and independent learners.

The primary school teaching-learning pattern focuses on linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinaesthetic, musical, interpersonal and naturalistic intelligence.

At senior school (classes VI-X), the role of educators in grade VI-X is more of a facilitator and collaborator by imparting education through stimulating tasks, projects, assignments, training and hands on experience. All students are given an opportunity to hone their skills in sports / dance & music / performing arts.

An energetic team of result-oriented teachers and students connect to form the senior-secondary section (classes XI-XII) of DPS Bopal.
