“The great aim of learning is not knowledge but action, and what we learn with pleasure, we never forget.”
Education at DPS Junior is an integrated process with a flexible curriculum in varied domains that takes into account the heterogeneity of the students and their learning capabilities. The school focuses on child-centrist education and offers project-based, experiential, and progressive learning.

The Curriculum is based on CBSE directives. All aspects of academics are taken care of with due emphasis on interactive learning.
The core curriculum is designed to give students an in-depth mastery of the academic disciplines and applied functional areas. The curriculum gives students a balance of theoretical and practical knowledge that facilitates a learning environment where students learn, analyze and apply — rather than merely know. The nurturing of a child’s academic curiosity and development is at the center of our curriculum.
Learning at this stage is experiential, fun & activity based. The pedagogical processes followed are based on developmentally appropriate methods with multiple teaching and learning strategies. The child is the central figure and an active participant in the teaching learning process. Children enjoy the freedom to explore, express, create and interact within their environment and gain knowledge.
At this stage too, the curriculum supports experiential learning, focuses on conceptual clarity by relating learning to everyday life, developing thinking and analytical skills. The curriculum also aims at nurturing the affective domain of the learners through subjects and activities which will help develop the basic life skills in the learner – self-awareness, effective communication skills and emotional strength.

At DPS Junior, we believe it is better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times. Travel is definitely the greatest teacher that allows students to take away memories and leave footprints. The school organizes field trips and excursions regularly as part of its curriculum.
The students are taken for educational field trips frequently as it helps in developing a subtle understanding of various local and global issues. It helps them to become more empathetic and respectful towards awareness by broadening their horizons.
