PRINCIPLED
“People must have righteous principles in the first, and then they will not fail to perform virtuous actions.” - Anonymous
Action that is wrapped in integrity and honesty gives birth to fair, just and noble individuals who earn respect by maintaining the respect and dignity of others. They are level headed, capable of taking responsibility for their deeds and the results that follow.
At DY Patil International School we develop students who understand and vibe well with the ideas of building sound foundations on ethical grounds. You will agree, only leaders emerge from such thoughts and leave behind a trail that everyone yearns to trace. For us, every student is a diamond and we polish one until one is ready to create a sparkling society.
The principle on which our foundation is formed is just one. To create principled individuals who can build a better tomorrow.
We believe in developing a society of individuals who shall make the world a better place to live in. Individuals who can be discreet in their actions, wise in their approach and empathetic in their response. And for this we nurture them with lessons on life and living, and not just academics.
RISK TAKERS
“Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's.” - Billy Wilder
RISK backed by solid confidence stems from belief in oneself. Self belief evolves from sound and healthy upbringing. We endeavor to instill these attitudes in our students to make them daring yet responsible. Our goal is to prepare them to deal with unusual situations with objectivity and foresight. Our premise shall ensure a stable and healthy emotional quotient which will helps students to face precarious situations with confidence and patience. After all, we want our students to cherish independence of character, to explore new paths and be unfaltering in shielding their beliefs.
Our genuine intention is to create dynamic, yet humble and kind individuals who never hesitate in a given situation and create a world of joy and peace around themselves. We attempt to instill values that lead to making them secure and firm human beings.
Various co-curricular activities like strategy games shall make our students accustomed to precarious situations, a practice which aids in sound decision making. Moreover, scholarships to the deserving few will create ground for success. We want all our students to draw benefit from the huge well of knowledge and learning and enrich themselves with confidence and character based on fine values and thoughtfulness. Real life situations, practical case studies, project works, group work and handling situations in the real market place is what students will experience at our school. This will not only instill within them a sense of satisfaction and self worth, but a sense of responsibility towards society.
We shall make our students ready to venture out into the world, evaluate situation, take calculated risks, and overcome failure if encountered.
These students then, will be prepared for the worst and shall aim for the best.
OPEN MINDEDNESS
“Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible to your approach.” - Tom Robbins
At our school students shall be nurtured to cultivate the art to appreciate one's own cultures and personal histories, and be open to the perspectives, values and traditions of other individuals and communities. We shall achieve this quotient by teaching them to be open to different points of view, and to grow from experience. Also, a continuous interaction with pupils from diverse backgrounds shall nurture within our students a solid sense of tolerance, thereby making them ready for global challenges.
An open-minded attitude springs from profound learning created amidst diverse cultures and different mindsets. This fosters wisdom which blooms into togetherness and humanity. Characteristics vital to happy living. At our school , one shall meet peers from various nationalities with diverse backgrounds. Exposure to various foreign languages and cultures through the curricula and teaching faculties that have traversed the globe will only add to the building of an attitude that is truly amiable.
An unprejudiced attitude acts as a strong amour in accepting rejection. With a sense of pride in what they are, and a value for where they come from, our students will never wane in a situation where they are ignored. They will hold themselves up in stormy waters and treat each failure as a learning opportunity. Only to reach victorious shores.
CARING AND GOOD COMMUNICATORS
“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” - Anonymous
Words can break all barriers and build the strongest of bonds. Especially words which are accompanied by acts of empathy, compassion and respect for another's need and feeling. Our methods of teaching are geared to instill within our students a sincere commitment to serve others. Such an attitude can change the face of this world dramatically. At school they will be motivated to be caring, positive thinkers and effective communicators. We believe that understanding and expressing ideas confidently and being equipped with more than one language can be of added value in the commercial world as well as society. We shall equip our students with state-of-the-art communication skills using different media. An all-round personality development that springs from various grooming and etiquette building techniques will be practiced by our teachers during the course of schooling.
The campus shall prove to be a superb impetus for art, culture and learning with well set and sophisticated library, art, music and drama studio and a media centre and an amphitheatre. Various activities like outdoor and indoor sports, seminars and symposiums, interactive projects and CAS (Creative Action Service) activities might provide momentum for building valuable communication skills.
These activities will only inculcate leadership & life skills into the students and mould their personalities.
This world has a lot to offer. But to begin with, we will teach our students to be givers. We will share the importance of being friendly to nature and people around. After all, this universe gives back to you what you give to it. We make an effort to set the good old law of attraction spinning and winning for all our students.
KNOWLEDGEABLE
“The intrinsic value of knowledge is that you act upon it.” - Maulana Ali (AS)
There is no treasure like knowledge and the more you share knowledge, it increases tenfold.
At our school one shall encounter the opportunity to learn in every undertaking. Be it through interaction with diverse cultures and ethnic backgrounds, academic pedagogy or, a vast library overflowing with information from across the globe and other resources. Our students shall stand tall in the world of competition and human resource.
All of the above rich knowledge mine coupled with practical education, problem solving skills, participative culture, and inquiry based learning shall make for dynamic personas and ever curious minds thirsting for more knowledge in every aspect. Subjects such as Languages, Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Music, Drama, Physical Education, and much more will be planned to pave the path to progress and continuous growth.
In fact, our students will be taught one very important lesson. That learning should never end and there is no end to learning. Our students will always be encouraged to explore new ideas and concepts that are of global as well as local importance. Moreover, they will be acclimatized to acquiring in-depth knowledge and understanding across wide range of disciplines to apply to daily life and make a better living for themselves and others around them. Not to mention that students might even gain admission to European and American universities throughout the world.
THINKERS
“No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.” - Voltaire
A great amount of knowledge gives rise to great thinkers. The world's greatest thinkers were the world's most powerful human beings. Applying thought to life situations is what makes one truly enterprising. Well defined academic programmes to inspire critical reflection on knowledge and to encourage students to question the basis of knowledge, to be aware of subjective and ideological bias, and to develop the ability to analyze evidence that is expressed in a rational argument will form the backbone of teaching at our school.
This Theory of Knowledge will form the foundation of all subjects to make learning a fruitful experience at school. This method will also instill an ever increasing desire for learning from all of life's experiences. In fact, such an attitude will help students to look at every situation in a positive manner and benefit from all good and dire experiences. Our students will be ready to apply thinking skills in critical situations and take well reasoned, ethical decisions in the corporate world and otherwise.
INQUIRERS
“I keep six honest serving-men,
They taught me all I knew;
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.” - Rudyard Kipling
Good thinkers are judicious inquirers. They develop the natural curiosity and acquire the necessary skills to conduct effective research and display independence in learning and therefore, in over all behavior. This practice sustains learning as an enjoyable activity all through life. In fact, our goal is to cultivate responsible and compassionate world citizens. We intend to make our students energetic, empathetic and cooperative.
All these qualities curtail from being good enquirers. At school, we shall expose them to situations where they might need to apply their mind and find out answers for various issues on their own. Through this technique skills such as communication, self-management, social diplomacy and research will be developed to make the pupil an independent and responsible learner. Also, multiple languages will add to their ability to be able to embark on issues new to them. Through a structured Integrated Studies program, the students may develop higher level questioning skills.
Learning will be articulated as Units of Inquiry into various subjects, which shall enhance intellectual development.
Exchange trips and extended essay writing in the chosen field of interest will be instrumental to inquiry building qualities and excellent exposure worldwide.
REFLECTION
“Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.” - Peter F Drucker
Reflection is a very important tool for self improvement and also for peace of mind. Reflecting on ones actions and thoughts gives the mind space to analyze and plan wisely for further actions and accomplishments. It helps to take away the negatives and makes way for fresh ideas while keeping in mind personal strengths and limitations.
Most academic programmes at our school will be based on moral values. Our intention being to help our students in reflecting on their experiences and learning and taking wise, committed action.
Reflection will also be imbibed through various activities like yoga, meditation, chess and a host of indoor and outdoor sports. Athletics, hockey, football, cricket, 400mts track, squash, badminton, swimming and tennis will be available for our students. This kind of a huge play-ground will provide the forum for them to grow strong in the body and active in the mind, creating the gateway for happiness and prosperity.
BALANCED
“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.” - Author: Thomas Merton
A well balanced life leads to harmony at work and at home. A mind that is at peace will always perform better in all aspects of life. Our every endeavor shall be to create and sustain a healthy balance in all spheres of learning and various activities at our school. We believe balance is the catalyst that is vital to life as a whole. At our School one will experience an equilibrium that resonates with positivity.
Central to the development of internationally-competent students are the attributes of the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile and International Baccalaureate Attitudes. You will experience these characteristics woven into the framework of life at our school; in the classroom, the hallways, the sports field, the playground and the lunchroom.
The vocabulary of the Learner Profile and Attitudes will be integral to the communications between students, teachers, parents and communities. The main objective of all teaching on our premise is to up-bring pupils who are not only professionally competent, but who can contribute to living and happiness of others; fulfilling our aim to create a compassionate society.
In fact, the curriculum is designed to rear level headed individuals with the ability to reflect, foresee, perceive and act with responsibility to sow the roots of happiness in everyday living.
