A TYPICAL DAY
INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODOLOGY
The school follows four days a week fully onsite pattern of teaching. A regular, productive working day at DPS Sharjah Primary wing is divided into 8 periods. The children get two refreshing breaks to rejuvenate their minds and stretch their limbs. The day includes a home room period when students spend valuable time with their class teachers. This time is an opportunity for them to share experiences or simply bond with their classmates and class teacher. All assemblies, themed week activities, inter-house activities, practices for events are held during the home room period so as to leave the rest of the day for the set class schedules.
In the primary section all teaching is thematic and activity based. The syllabus is set by the school. The indigenous curriculum created by our team of talented teachers focuses on hands-on learning through creative, cross curricular lessons, project work, games and logical and lateral thinking activities. It is planned in a qualitative way, thinking about the relative priorities of different aspects of the work, as well as about allocations of time.
Our staff continuously update and upgrade their technology and teaching skills through continuous professional development programmes to seamlessly deliver high quality and relevant lessons.
The syllabus has been created in a manner that aims at making the child love coming to school. Syllabus is flexible and therefore gives each child the freedom to learn at his/her own pace. Each month is a THEME MONTH, wherein the theme is learnt through age appropriate hands- on learning experiences. Cross curricular teaching takes place through activities, discussions, story telling and enacting , class assemblies and carefully chosen and organized field trips. French is introduced as an optional second language in Grade I giving students a choice between French and Hindi

The Pre KG curriculum features the distinct and proprietary DPSS Pedagogical Framework and draws from six leading pedagogies in its approach to education, namely the Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Ecological Systems Theory, Somatics, Anganwadi and Finnish method to create a child-led curriculum adapted to meet the needs of each individual child.
