Curriculam Overview
At Delhi Private School, Ajman, educational excellence and commitment are of prime importance to a meaningful teaching and learning environment, where quality education is provided to each and every child. DPS believes that love for education should be developed in children during initial years within an environment radiating with positivity. The teacher is an inspirer, a team leader initiating work, nurturing students, guiding them to achieve milestones without the phobia of examinations and homework. Development of oral and written expression is emphasized upon for the intellectual growth of the students. Home assignments are not a carry-over of classwork but oriented towards honing individual talents. Delhi Private School, Ajman is affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), which is the largest educational board in India and is duly recognized by the Ministry of Education, Ajman. Currently the School has enrolled students from KG-1 to Grade 11. We follow the CBSE curriculum that advocates an inclusive education, which aims at bringing about a healthy shift from examination centered learning to holistic education. This approach is most advocated by the modern neuro-educationists engaged in educational research and development. It relates to hands on experience rather than the theoretical approach to teaching learning and lays a lot of emphasis on the importance of innovation in education in order to achieve academic excellence in conformity with psychological, pedagogical and social principles.Kindergarten
The kindergarten curriculum is based on specific learning goals and the present needs of the children. We adapt approaches to foster learning across the curriculum, placing an emphasis on developing key skills, promoting inquiry based learning, and critical thinking.
It is planned for different areas of learning, facilitating the children to develop at their own pace through differentiated and collaborative plans.
It is child oriented, emphasizing learning through fun and enthusiasm. We firmly believe that the children need to be happy, if they are to learn.
Therefore, our endeavour is to make learning interesting, enjoyable and fun.
Primary School
The primary school curriculum is to provide students with opportunities for personal and intellectual growth through speaking, listening, reading, viewing, writing, and representing to make meaning of their surrounding environment.
The child completing primary school should be able to question, to investigate and make critical observations; he/she should be able to demonstrate responsibility towards the environment He/she should be culturally, aesthetically and spiritually aware and committed to social and moral principles.
A well-defined curriculum is an effective tool to mould a child into an individual with desired qualities.
In the primary section we ensure connectivity within the syllabus for the next consecutive class in order to do away with any stress due to the transformation from one class to the next. Approved scientific methods of teaching are incorporated in such a way that the skills to read and write become second nature without any undue pressure on the child. Art and craft, music, public speech, storytelling and flip teaching are integrated into the curriculum. They study English as their first language and Arabic as their third language. We offer five optional languages;French, Urdu, Tamil, Hindi and Malayalam from which our students can select any one as their second language for their secondary school years.
We adopt a holistic approach to meet individual needs, developing skills for life. To procure the objective, we concentrate upon delivering skill based subjects like ICT and Life skills, Value based subjects like Islamic Studies, and Moral Science so that the children are able to communicate effectively and appropriately in real-life situations. They also inculcate human values like sympathy, empathy, honesty, kindness, respect etc.
Middle School
Our curriculum focuses on four core subject areas: Languages, Math, Science and Social studies.
We continue to lay emphasis on providing moral development to the students by offering subjects like Islamic Studies/ Moral Science beginning from their primary classes.
As our curriculum reflects not only on the scholastic learning, we pay equal importance to co-scholastic learning and proficiency in co-curricular activities too.
Hence grading of a student is based not only on their academic achievements but graded on their all-round development and thus prepare them to be strong and independent individuals, ready to face the challenging world.
Senior School
Our senior school curriculum is based on NCERT curriculum developing the minds of the teenagers with 21st century skills.
Focus is laid on character building, social and emotional learning, innovative practices and honing the inborn skills in curricular and co curricular arenas. Regular career orientations are held for students to develop the career competencies in children.
Inclusion of the vocational subject of Information Technology as the sixth subject provides students the requisite basic computer skills to adapt to the demands in the futuristic workforce.
