DAPS follows the CBSE curriculum from the earliest years through the secondary stage. Teaching is organised in three stages, and assessment follows the CBSE pattern of unit tests, a half-yearly examination and annual examinations.
Early Years
A joyful and nurturing environment where children learn through play, activities and interactive experiences that build communication, confidence and the foundational skills every later stage rests on. Nursery classes are taken by a qualified NTT teacher.
Primary Education
A structured learning journey focused on strengthening language, mathematics, science and creativity, with personality development built into the classroom day. Primary classes are staffed by four PRT teachers.
Senior Classes
Advanced academic learning that builds critical thinking, problem-solving, innovation and leadership, and prepares students for the CBSE board examination and for what follows it. Senior classes are taken by six PGT and six TGT teachers.
