The term ‘co-scholastic activities’ is used for both cognitive and non-cognitive development that can take place by exposing the child to the scholastic and non-scholastic subjects. At DPS Sharjah, they are integral parts of the curriculum and included in the routine of the school for the holistic development of our children.
Even in hybrid learning, our educational program continues to provide a range of co scholastic activities to nurture latent talents in our pupils and provide
them with sufficient opportunities to portray talents and raise their sense of achievement. The program also creates social and environment awareness in the students and helps them develop a spirit of service towards the extended community.
