Nurturing Young Minds: The Essence of Holistic Education & Child Care at DPS International

– Rima Singh, Head of School, DPS International, Gurgaon

As the head of an IB school, it is important to share my thoughts on an aspect of education that we hold close to our hearts: holistic education and child care. Our commitment to providing a nurturing environment that prioritises the development of the whole child is at the core of our educational philosophy.

Understanding Holistic Education

Holistic education is a comprehensive approach that considers not only the academic growth of a child but also their emotional, social, physical, and creative development. It recognises that each child is unique and that their individual needs, strengths, and passions must be acknowledged and supported.

Rima Singh, DPS InternationalAt DPSI Edge, my team is dedicated to cultivating well-rounded individuals who can adapt to a rapidly changing world. We believe that true education goes beyond textbooks and exams; it encompasses life skills, values, and a genuine love for learning. In this holistic approach, we foster critical thinking, creativity, empathy, and a sense of responsibility in our students.

Child Care Beyond the Classroom

Child care isn’t confined to the hours students spend at school; it extends to their overall well-being. We understand that our role in a child’s life involves providing a safe and nurturing environment where they can thrive. This means creating a space where they feel emotionally secure, physically healthy, and intellectually stimulated.

Our school’s commitment to child care includes healthy meals, regular physical activity, access to counseling services, and a supportive community that values and respects each child’s unique journey. We believe that only when a child feels safe and cared for can they truly excel academically and personally.

The IB Curriculum and Holistic Learning

The International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, which we proudly offer, aligns perfectly with our commitment to holistic education. It encourages students to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners. Through its inquiry-based approach, students explore subjects deeply, fostering critical thinking and a love for knowledge. Moreover, the CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) component encourages students to engage in various extracurricular activities that promote a balanced lifestyle.

A Bright Future for Our Students

At our IB school, our goal is to prepare students not just for academic success but for life’s challenges. We strive to equip them with the skills, values, and mindset they need to become confident, compassionate, and responsible individuals. Together, we are shaping a future where holistic education and child care are not just ideals but daily practices.

Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children. We are committed to nurturing young minds and enabling them to reach their full potential.
