DWPS is committed to providing state-of-the-art education, incorporating Indian values and world culture, aiming to create global citizens as torch bearers of a dynamic and harmonious world.
The curriculum adheres to the National Curriculum Framework 2005 (NCF 2005) and the CBSE curriculum. Classroom experiences are organised so that children construct knowledge in consonance with their own nature and context, giving equal learning opportunities to all. Teaching aims at enhancing the child's innate desire and acumen to learn. Activity is at the heart of children's attempts to make sense of the world around them, so every resource is deployed in a child-centric way — to let them express themselves, handle objects, explore their natural and social surroundings, and grow up in good health.
Great emphasis is placed on value education. Moral education, not moral policing, is the call of the hour, and we have undertaken the responsibility of delivering a curriculum that is qualitative and not merely quantitative.
Continuously asking ourselves what we want our children to learn from school, our foremost answer remains: to be honest, sincere, respectful and responsible citizens who are good-natured and who value compassion and diversity.
