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 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. Handicraft as skill subject is offered for grade 6 to 8.
Secondary School Level
The Secondary School consists of Grade IX and X. We always believe
that our students must develop holistically. The progression from

based. 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 concepts in English, Hindi, Marathi, Mathematics,
Science and Social Science which becomes the base for higher
