Our core purpose is to ensure that our students acquire the skills and attributes to become leaders for a better world. A leader is someone who has strong interpersonal skills and three qualities
Determination
Knowledge
Adaptability
The current generation of students have particular needs as learners in the twenty first century, and will face various new challenges throughout their lives. The University of Cambridge defines the current generation of students as, multi-taskers, people who text as much as they talk, digitally literate, personalised learners, requiring social orientation, needing immediate feedback and having short attention spans. These factors, coupled with the extreme pace of change in this digital age and the wider needs of society in the Twenty First Century, influence the curriculum we provide. For the purpose of developing determined, knowledgeable and adaptable students, Doon International provides four strands of education;
- Attainment at a high level in the chosen academic programmes.
- An awareness of ones own strengths and weaknesses with humility. This is gained by active participation in Leadership in Action extra curricular opportunities as well as the academic programmes.
- An ability to relate to others with tolerance, respect and consideration whatever their beliefs and attitudes. This is gained through Leadership in Action opportunities, House contributions and the sports programmes.
- Adopting an outstanding set of values: understanding right from wrong, handling success and disappointment and accepting that ones actions have consequences. Our Curriculum, therefore, places strong emphasis on the Essential Core Skills. Special and unique programmes are imbibed in the school curriculum to meet specific needs and to develop students physical, intellectual and spiritual capabilities.
Programmes such as Leap Start, a sports programme, is an
integral part of the curriculum and helps to develop fine
gross sports skills. Similarly, Promise, a programme for
honing leadership qualities and life skills has been
introduced for grooming students. Additionally, the
Entrepreneurship Programme at the school helps senior
students prepare for the future and is specifically designed
for discovering and polishing future innovators
By providing a challenging and innovative curriculum
that has these features, our students develop Leadership
Attributes that prepare them, not just for success at a top
university and a successful career, but to provide
Leadership for a better world. Realizing that a student
teacher and parent teacher relationship is the most
important relationship, Doon International has given a
new media of interaction. The school has an ERP which
provides single point access of all School related
information from anywhere in the world. Parents can
have the minutest information about their wards in terms
of academics, attendance, online fees and personalized
information. The school has also developed a Mobile
Application that parents can download on their mobile
phones and hence stay connected with the school
effectively and easily. Parents can also post any query to
any teacher online which is replied to promptly by the
concerned teacher. Parents and students stay updated
about the latest activities in school with the help of Enews, Image Gallery, newsletters and other facilities. They
share their knowledge and views with other parents and
school through various features like Articles and Forums.
