Holistic Development

Holistic development of children with a focus on their physical, emotional, intellectual and social
development and well-being is central to DAIS education. This is sought to be achieved through
diverse opportunities for students to go beyond the learning of core academic subjects. The breadth of
sports and co-curricular activities that the School offers; the participation of students in various
competitions within India and abroad, and so on, reflect our school's commitment towards children's
well-rounded development.

We place emphasis on Art, Indian Music, Western Music, Dance, Drama, Physical Education, Yoga and
encourage Service Learning from the Primary Classes. Promoting experiential and exploratory methods of
learning, encouraging the appreciation and practice of our school's core values, participation of students
starting from the kindergarten level in the annual day drama productions, fostering digital literacy among
students, exchange programmes with other schools, leadership and entrepreneurship development
opportunities, and the use of technology in the teaching and learning processes, are some of the many
efforts that go on to supplement students' holistic development.

Presentations, role-plays, small skits, and impromptu debates go a long way in developing students' ability
to express themselves confidently and build on their knowledge and skills. Students have a variety of out-
of-classroom activities and experiences such as theatre, photography, film appreciation, robotics, football,
cricket, tennis, basketball, taekwondo, and many more. Community service helps sensitise children to the
values of being compassionate and empathetic towards others' challenging situations and unique needs.

The higher education pursuits of our alumni in diverse fields and their career choices encompassing a wide
cross-section of sectors, including as social entrepreneurs, creative artists and sportspersons, are a
testament to our emphasis on providing children with a holistic education.
