The DAIS Curriculum Model

 

The learner is at the heart of our curriculum model, with all our resources, expertise and commitment directed towards providing an excellent and holistic education to every child in our care.

 

We endeavour to develop in students sound values, and an appreciation of their own culture and that of others. Our guiding statements comprising our vision, mission, motto, values and attributes set the context for our school culture, and provide a fertile ground for children to blossom to their full potential and shape their character.

 

Our focus is on providing an environment that is safe and child-centred and one that cares for children's well-being so the learner is inspired to excel and develop holistically. Students experience the joy of learning as they explore and engage enthusiastically in a wide spectrum of academic, co-scholastic, sports and co-curricular activities.

 

The key pillars of our pedagogy are learning through inquiry, conceptual understanding, differentiated instruction, and technology integration. Our pedagogy aims to develop in students a broad range of knowledge, skills and attitudes, offering alternate pathways to students with varying needs, capacities and aptitudes, and supporting inclusive education. The emphasis on academic rigour and engagements beyond the classroom is integral to our educational philosophy and practices.

 

Preparing children to be equipped with 21st century skills to make them creative and critical thinkers , effective communicators and collaborators; and developing them to be leaders, global citizens, digital citizens and lifelong learners, are the larger goals of our educational programmes. These are important skills and attributes that they should develop and build on within and beyond their school life.

 

All the above elements in our curriculum model interact with each other and converge to bring out the best in every child and develop them holistically.
