The one-size-fits-all model of content-based, examination-oriented teaching that takes place in the majority of schools, even today, has actually been obsolete for ages and needs to be replaced by a very different system of skills-based, inquiry-oriented, personalized learning.

Children growing up now need to be much smarter as individuals, and as a generation. In such circumstances, instead of focusing on chunks of information and content, and providing children with ready-made answers to questions and solutions to ‘probable’ problems and crises, we need to empower our them by concentrating on developing their skill-sets and processing systems; enabling them to mature into creative personalities.

The focus of school education must be entirely on the fullest possible development of the wide variety of dimensions of an individual’s body, mind, and spirit that constitute the personality. Education and learning at school should be a very happy and joyful process through which all the individual talents, abilities and potential of the child are discovered, kindled, nurtured, and sustained to enable them to lead a life of spiritual, intellectual, emotional, aesthetic, cultural, social, physical, and professional fullness and integrity as adults.

Accordingly, we have devised the basic framework for a holistic programme of education that focuses on creative talents, skills, aptitudes, and attitudes that helps children process and transform information into knowledge, and subsequently into wisdom that can be applied to everyday life. Dev Valley Global School’s very own Curriculum Development Unit is constantly working to improve on this Curriculum Plan as well as the implementation strategies for it.
