Early Learning Philosophy at DPS Saharanpur

The foundation of a lifelong love for learning is built during the early years of education. At Delhi Public School, Saharanpur, our curriculum is carefully crafted to spark curiosity and help young learners discover their interests and strengths. We place a strong focus on essential 21st-century skills such as effective communication, teamwork, creativity, digital fluency, and an understanding of the wider world. Our passionate educators are committed to nurturing these abilities in every child.

Guiding Principles and Educational Practices:

1. Learning by Doing: Our youngest learners engage in meaningful projects and hands-on activities designed to relate to their everyday experiences and interests.

7. Holistic Growth: Our teaching focuses on the comprehensive development of the child—intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically.

8. Understanding Over Memorization: We prioritize deep understanding and application of knowledge over rote learning, helping students build critical thinking skills.
