What is a good school?
Every new school advertised
these days is full of laudatory statements and promises. In
my opinion, a school is good if it emanates a cheerful happy
atmosphere, which is reflected in the exuberance of its students.
This is possible only if their teachers show care, concern and
love. Five minutes in a classroom can tell you this and DRS
International School proves it. If the school also possesses
the infrastructure and facilities to make the educational experience
a pleasure, what more can one ask for. DRS is striving to leave
no stone unturned in this direction to succeed in making the
school an Institution of Excellence. The boldness to break new
ground and to innovate is another challenge we have accepted
at DRS. IN keeping with this school offers IEA system of monthly student assessment, no corporal
punishment, the introduction of the Primary Years Programme
leading to the International Baccalaureate, student and teacher
exchanges with schools abroad, planned adventure, cultural and
community service activities and so on. I commend this school
to you as a ‘school with a difference'.

The Great Education...
India is in dire need of educated
individuals with a strong national and social conscience. In
a society that is driven by retrograde happenings and issues,
we need to educate our young people to make correct and moral
decisions in their adult life. I feel that all education should
be based on the values of patriotism, fearlessness, truth, excellence,
ahimsa, and self-sacrifice. This is the ‘great education', one
that goes beyond mere text book learning. Along with this, inculcating
leadership qualities, self-confidence and wisdom makes a young
adult capable of extraordinary deeds. Deeds that can change
the social fabric of our country; deeds that can heal long festering
wounds; deeds that can make our country stand tall in the community
of nations. DRS International School is treading firmly on this
hard and challenging road, one that will see the emergence of
a new community of individuals with the power to change the
world.
