Pre Primary Level
The Pre-primary level consists of Nursery, Junior Kindergarten (LKG)
and Senior Kindergarten (UKG). The aim at DIS is to provide our
students with the opportunity to develop skills. That include self-
awareness and teamwork. Child kits are provided with teaching aids,
Worksheets and Booklets that give a complete hands-on experience to
the students as these years are the most crucial years that act as a
foundation for the future development. Hence, it is imperative to
include a blended curriculum that is theme based and concept based
providing pre-schoolers the holistic approach to learning and
development.
The main focus areas of development are Personal,
Social and Emotional Development, Communication, Mathematical and
Logical Development, Environmental Awareness, Fine and Gross Motor
Development and Creative Development. The teaching strategies
involve individual work, small group activities, and whole group
instructions. Every child has his/her own learning style and
comprehension level. Keeping this in mind, our teaching methodology
is structured to tailor the needs of the students. An integrated
program is followed wherein core subjects like English, Mathematics,
Hindi, Environmental Awareness, and Self-Awareness are integrated
with subjects like Art and Craft, Technology, Dance and Music along
with Activity based learning for the achievement of the learning
objectives of the students.
Primary School Level
The Primary level includes Grade 1 through Grade 5.The subjects
formally introduced at this level are English, Hindi, Math, Computer
Science, Art & Craft, Physical Education, Science, Foreign Language
and Social Science.Here we focus on the development of oral as well
as written expression, creative writing, critical thinking and
mathematical skills The integrated learning concept along with
experiential learning and blended learning form the basis at this
level. It aims not only at engaging the learners but also nurturing
their social, emotional and physical growth. Hands on experience
curbs the curiosity of the students along with the development of
their contextual and conceptual knowledge, preparing them to become
lifelong learners.
At DIS, each student is treated as an
individual who has his/her own way of learning and so we have a
comprehensive curriculum of excellence with a global edge that
accommodates diverse learning needs of students and makes teaching
learning a joyful experience for students and teachers. Age
appropriate learning opportunities coupled with co-curricular
activities and the most modern infrastructure support teaching
learning in all the schools. The schools look after the diverse
needs of the different children and help them achieve the best as
per their capacity and potential.
Middle School Level
The Middle School consists of Grade VI to VIII. We always believe
that our students must become the best they can and in what they
can. The progression from Elementary to Middle School curriculum is
smooth. Learning becomes more specific with diversification of
subjects as per the prescribed syllabus of Central Board of
Secondary Education. The curriculum develops learner's skills and
understanding in Mathematics, English, Science and Social Science
which becomes the base for higher education.
Subject teacher
specialists create a learning environment conducive to a
transformative learning process, in which students develop
Conceptual and Contextual understanding through experiential
learning wherein their minds are developed to have a practical
approach by doing and hands- on experiments which later helps them
to solve real life problems. Teachers act as facilitators, guiding
the students to set their own goals and encouraging them to show
their learning through tests, quizzes, presentations, and
portfolios.
