Curriculum

DPS Rudrapur will follow the "Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)," a widely recognized and highly regarded school board in the country following the 10+2 pattern of education. We provide an effective framework for education through a relevant, broad, balanced, rigorously-taught and monitored curriculum.

Special emphasis will be laid to ensure that alongside teaching the skills and academic content, students learn to develop habits which help them seek knowledge and learn new things. The underlying focus in entire process of curriculum transaction would be that they become 'lifelong learners'.

We place great importance on educating the 'whole child' at their individual level of ability and potential to ensure a happy learner.

Through a holistic approach towards learning we aim to provide our students with:

   Requisite knowledge and skills that every child has a right to learn

   Learning environment enabling them to learn in a balanced manner but also letting 'them be' as individual personalities thereby developing confidence.

   Stretching enough to challenge them and meet their diverse needs.

   High level thinking skills which will enable them to question and tackle many of the moral, social and cultural issues which are part of growing up.

   Providing an interactive environment which allows social development and assists in developing healthy habits to participate in a social system. Summative and formative assessments and continuous feedback for improvisation in the learning process.

   School today is no longer confined to class room instruction. We believe that school is much more than academic lessons and qualifications.

   Many of the most important lessons are those which students learn as part of team games, cross fertilizations of ideas, competitions and collaborative work.

   To pave the way for such non-cognitive learning we organize a variety of competitions and cultural events which also support formal learning.

   The school calendar is replete with a wide variety of Activities and competitions which help students compete and enhance their talents and skills.

Special week long activities are dedicated and planned for each subjects namely:

   Science Week: 'The Rationale'

   Social Science Week: 'Engage'

   Cyber Week: 'Decode'

   Hindi Week: 'Utsav'

OUR HOUSE SYSTEM

A sense of belonging and loyalty are promoted in the students by dividing them into four different houses namely,

   Aravali                                            Himalaya                                            Shivalik                                            Vindhya

The House system in schools is a way of organizing students into smaller groups or communities within the larger school community. The purpose of the House system is to promote camaraderie, healthy competition, and a sense of belonging among students.

In DPS Rudrapur, Students of Classes I to XII are divided into 4 houses:Aravali House, Himalaya House, Shivalik House, and Vindhya House. Each house represents a distinct geographical feature or region, and students are assigned to one of these houses upon joining the school.

Students belonging to Aravali House are associated with qualities such as resilience, strength, and a connection to nature.
