We understand that a teacher introduces the learners to success. SDPS has an excellent team of professional and highly qualified faculty who are determined to enlighten the lives of our learners. Passionate, creative and innovative individuals with excellent communication skill and fire in their bell, the teachers are partner in the progress of learners and institution at large.
At SDPS curriculum plays a very important role as we at SDPS believe that learning is not just about teaching, books and lessons but much more than that.
At SDPS the emphasis is more on the overall development of the child, as we understand that schooling is the time in the life of every child, which influences their future.
To do this, creation of world – class infrastructure facilities and a favorable atmosphere is a sine qua non for any child to learn not just academics but lessons of life, character, ethics and values. At SDPS we impart all these qualities in the children so that they emerge as responsible individuals.
SDPS has a curriculum that is integrated. The curriculum is concept oriented rather than exam oriented. At SDPS the curriculum is designed keeping in view the overall development of a child. The classroom is the nerve center of the activities that are undertaken in shaping and grooming the leaders of tomorrow. The integrated curriculum not only concentrates on the academics but also on the qualitative development of every individual child.
Our strength lies in our ability to maintain the completeness of our programs, offering unique and important options to each and every person and providing a way to evaluate each student’s learning to ensure that we all continue to grow and we remain completely accountable to our community.

Teaching methods in the classroom are interactive and aim at generating interest and developing a range of learning skills.
Teachers find a variety of approaches that stimulate interest and motivation among the students. Group Discussions and projects, educational trips and excursions information technology, seminars, cultural and sports events form an integral part of the education imparted in the school.
The simple and effective teaching methods are a testimony at providing a complete and holistic approach in education, which aims at developing the children into academically sound and socially well-integrated individuals.

The curriculum and teaching are practical and aim at developing communicative competence, expressing ideas and freedom of thought, tolerance and respect for individuals. Above all, we seek to develop our children as socially and morally upright individuals.
The assessment system of SDPS is based on Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE).
Evaluation of Scholastic Areas
Scholastic subjects are assessed using two modes:
Formative Assessment (FA) and Summative Assessment (SA).
Formative Assessment comprises of Class Tests, Homework, Quizzes, Projects, and Assignments as directed throughout the year.
Summative Assessment measures how much a student has learnt from the class through an examination/test conducted at the end of a term.
SDPS’s academic year is divided into two terms. Each term will have two FAs and one SAs. The weightage allotted to each term and assessment is as follows.
| Term 1 | Term 2 | |||||
| FA1 | FA2 | SA1 | FA3 | FA4 | SA2 | |
| Weightage | 10% | 10% | 30% | 10% | 10% | 30% |
| Term Weightage | FA1+FA2+SA1=50% | FA3+FA4+SA2=50% | ||||
Formative Assessments (FA) = FA1+FA2+ FA3+FA4 = 40%
Summative Assessments (SA) = SA1+SA2 = 60%
Evaluation of Co-Scholastic Areas
Co-Scholastic areas are assessed using multiple techniques on the basis of specific criteria. Assessment of co-scholastic areas are done at the end of the year, and grades are given on a 5 point grading scale.
