At the end of 10 year the students appear for the AISSE (Class X) examination, which is followed by the AISSCE (Class XII) both of which are conducted by CBSE. The medium of instruction is English. The curriculum is designed to make the children discover themselves and their environment through exploration and experimentation. It is designed to develop the rational and analytical faculties of young children.

We follow a holistic approach in teaching. Class room teaching is interactive and is appropriately supported by multimedia teaching aids. Group discussions, visit by eminent guest faculties, field visits, project work, inter and intra- school competition on various fields form an integral part of learning at school.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE AND STUDENT'S WELFARE
We expect the parents to be the guide and guardians of behaviour and discipline of the student. We at DPSI do not pursue a system of Corporal punishment. We believe in emphasizing on personal discipline and responsibility. There is a system of reward and punishment through a card system.
Yellow card is issued to a student for any kind of discipline e.g, breaking bounds, disobedience, bullying and telling lies. The award of yellow card deprives a child of availing any privileges in the school for the week. The award of three consecutive yellow cards in a years will lead to the expulsion of the offender from the school on disciplinary grounds.
