Pro-Vice Chairman
Dear Parents,
Delhi Public School Lava Nagpur comes with a
very illustrious lineage of The Delhi Public
School Society. The DPS Chain not only has a
pan-Indian presence, but it has also
established citadels of learning about several
foreign shores. What started as a small school in
1949 has grown into a chain that has over 200
schools in India and abroad.
Delhi Public School Lava Nagpur is promoted by the Kalyani Educational
Society. The promoters of DPS Lava Nagpur have a very successful legacy in
the K-12 sector. They are part of a group that is running DPS in Varanasi for the
past 12 years. The Group also manages a Business School in New Delhi.
Established just about four years ago, DPS Lava Nagpur has been able to
ensure that excellence is the hallmark of a progressive school. We have the
best faculty possible that has developed its unique pedagogical system which
addresses each facet of school life. Much stress is laid on nurturing global
citizens who are not just academically brilliant but also sensitive to societal
responsibilities. Our students are encouraged to develop a keen sense of
appreciation and pride in Indian culture, heritage, and environment. DPS Lava
provides a holistic learning experience that encompasses an eclectic balance
between the scholastic and co-scholastic curriculum. The school is in step with
changing times and is using technology with ease and aplomb. The
environment of the campus is such that each student feels empowered and
engaged rather than constricted to the confines of a classroom.
I am sure you too would like your children to become a part of this temple of
excellence and I look forward to welcoming them to DPS
Lava Nagpur. The following pages will tell you in detail
about DPS Lava Nagpur. I would like to take the
opportunity to thank you for the keen
interest that you have shown in DPS.
Mr. Gautam Rajgarhia

FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK
We at DPS Lava, believe that the science behind
teaching-learning is simple. Keep the learner in
the centre of everything you do. This is the
theory underlying every measured effort we
make and this helps us deliver a world-class
curriculum that is shaped around the learners.
The fundamental concept of imparting education
is that every learner is unique. We welcome in our
school, students with diverse cognitive, physical, and
behavioural capabilities and customize our pedagogy based on their ability to
learn. We achieve this with a teaching-learning methodology that addresses the
individuality of each learner. This is implemented by combining a variety of
innovative programmes each of which helps nurture and attain specific learning
outcomes. It leads to enhanced creativity, curiosity, determination, and teamwork
in each student. Most importantly it helps create a generation of lifelong, eager,
and active learners, who are exposed to a stimulating learning environment,
engaging in a wide range of developmentally appropriate activities. Thus, the way
we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.
We provide varied opportunities for social, cultural, physical, and cognitive
development of students through sound infrastructure and modern facilities. The
furniture is eco friendly, safety and hygiene is a priority and everything is backed
by a sound contingency plan.
The Parent-School-Student trio forms the fundamental component in the growth
and progress of our school. With this belief, we have built resilient bridges that
nurture this partnership.
Our mission is to bloom and spread the fragrance of education all around. We
nurture our students in a non-threatening environment. We are a school that
cares.
Mrs. Anupama Sagdeo
PRINCIPAL
A New Direction in Education The curriculum at Delhi Public School lays particular emphasis on the development of the creative potential of each student. It is based on the principle that education must develop not only cognitive skills - both ‘foundational skills’ of literacy and numeracy and ‘higher-order’ cognitive skills such as problem-solving – but also social and emotional skills - the ‘soft skills’ that include cultural awareness and empathy, perseverance and grit, teamwork, leadership, communication, among others. Our teachers promote cross-cultural understanding and differentiate instruction to meet students’ varying needs, abilities, and learning styles. We provide a balanced education program within a safe, stimulating environment so that each child can learn and grow to the greatest potential. Delhi Public School ensures social, emotional, and physical development transforming each child into a confident, inquisitive, self-motivated learner; a global citizen capable of rational thought and action, possessing compassion and empathy, courage and resilience, scientific temper, and creative imagination, with sound ethical moorings and values.
OUR MISSION
To inspire our children to be passionate lifelong learners
To innovate and contribute in meaningful ways to society
OUR VISION
We believe that every child is unique and every family is at the heart of
our community. Everyone will be valued and supported to achieve their
full potential. We aim to achieve this through a broad and balanced
curriculum that ignites curiosity and enthusiasm for learning and offers
meaningful experiences. This is facilitated by highly skilled adults who
nurture, care, and educate.
Our Vision is :
To address the needs of each child
To develop sports and academic excellence
To develop the problem-solving abilities amongst the students
To work towards effective communication skills of the students
To make our students digital citizens
OUR MOTTO
“Service before Self”
Our motto is the reflection of the
ideals that are our guiding lights.
The motto constantly reminds all
Dipsites that the well being of
others is paramount and one should
strive to serve selflessly and
graciously.

CURRICULUM
Adaptability is a key competency in a rapidly changing world. We, at DPS,
follow a curriculum where students learn via multiple media as well as
face-to-face. We combine online educational materials and opportunities for
interaction online with traditional classroom methods.
Experiential student-centric learning is our methodology. Project-Based
Learning, our instructional methodology, encourages students to learn by
applying knowledge and skills through engaging experiences. PBL presents
opportunities for deeper learning in-context and for the development of
important skills tied to college and career readiness.
The key overall thrust of our curriculum and pedagogy across all stages is to
move towards real understanding and learning how to learn - and away from
the culture of rote learning. Our goal is to create holistic and well-rounded
individuals equipped with key 21st-century skills.
Pre School
At this stage, the curriculum is flexible,
multi-faceted, multi-level, play-based,
activity-based, and discovery-based learning.
The focus is on good behaviour, courtesy,
ethics, personal and public
hygiene/cleanliness, teamwork, and
cooperation.
Grades I and II (Preparatory)
Students study English, Hindi, Math and
Environmental Science in an integrated
manner. Sports, Performing and Creative arts
are woven into the curriculum. The overall
aim at DPS is to attain optimal outcomes in
the domains of physical and motor
development, cognitive development,
socio-emotional-ethical development,
cultural/artistic development, and the
development of communication and early
language, literacy, and numeracy.CURRICULUM
Grades III to V - (Foundational)
At DPS, students transition gradually
from play-based learning to more formal
but interactive classroom learning, with
the introduction of textbooks. This helps
us lay a solid groundwork across subjects,
including reading, writing, speaking,
languages, science, mathematics,
physical education, and art.
Grades VI to VIII -
The hallmark of the curriculum at this
stage is learning/discussion of the more
abstract concepts across the sciences,
mathematics, arts, social sciences,
languages, and humanities. This
promotes problem-solving and critical
thinking skills. Student-Led Conferences
hone communication skills, students
learn skills like collaboration and
teamwork. We follow the three language
format and promote multilingualism in
our students.
Grades IX to X
We prepare our students for
multidisciplinary study, building on the
subject-oriented pedagogical and
curricular style of the Middle Stage, but
with greater depth, greater critical
thinking, They learn time management,
examination skills, and digital skills that
prepare them for making right choices in
the future.ASSESSMENTS The assessments at DPS are not just paper-pencil tests based on rote learning. These are formative, competency-based, and test higher-order skills, such as application, analysis, critical thinking, reflection, and conceptual clarity. The assessment tools are aligned with the learning outcomes, capabilities, and dispositions as specified for each subject of a given class. A multitude of tools are used to conduct holistic assessments; thus a student’s report card reflects all-round development...360 degrees.
