For higher classes, candidates are considered for admission only if a vacancy exists. In all cases seats are offered to most deserving candidates.

Focus

The focus in DSM up to the middle school level is on web learning. We design our own activity based curriculum to make learning fun for the children. The school focuses on providing a stress free environment in order to enhance learning. A lot of innovative teaching methodologies are implemented to teach various subjects. The teachers are given freedom to experiment with new teaching techniques. A revision period in every class up to Std. VII ensures that the slow learners are able to complete their work under the guidance of supervision of the class teacher.

In the senior section the syllabus as prescribed by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination is implemented. Learning is also enhanced through various projects made by the children on various topics. The importance of learning by doing is emphasized upon by having a three day workshop for all the children in the school where they prepare models in the school itself and display them in an exhibition on the third day.

Peer Learning and Teaching is encouraged by allowing brighter students to help weaker ones and due appreciation in the form of a certificate is given to them when improvement is seen..

We organize Annual Prize Night, Annual Sports Day and Annual Exhibition to recognize every student who is gifted either in academics, sports or co-curricular activities. Principal’s Award is also given to the deserving students. This award recognizes any meritorious or special contribution made by a student towards the school.
