Visual and Performing Arts

Children completely immerses themselves while engaged in these forms of learning. These visual programmes sensitize children to colour, space, textures and different materials. Art and craft activities allow children to express themselves and re-enforce concepts learnt within the classroom such as shapes, colours, and numbers. Performing arts also help children understand Indian and Western music and dance forms. Children enjoy the activities of these programmes as they are closely linked to classroom concepts.

Spirituality

In a world where social pressures and expectations are high, we help our children to accept and manage their emotions. Children spend a few minutes of tranquil time with themselves for quiet reflection. The early morning silence sets the tone for a challenging day at school with students focusing better on goals they need to achieve. The facilitators spend discussion time with children, helping them understand their needs and how to overcome their difficulties.

In the early years children are exposed to Baby Gym for running, hopping, jumping and walking around patterns. Splash pool, sand pit and swings all ensure the development of gross motor skills. In the later years, children are introduced to sports like Tennis, Soccer and Basketball. Yoga constitutes an important part of physical education program of D.P.S. as it helps in the holistic development of body, mind and soul along with betters focus and concentration.
