PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Curriculum refers to the knowledge and skills, students are expected to learn, which includes the learning standards or learning objectives they are expected to meet, the units and the lessons that teachers teach, the assignments and projects given to the students, the books, materials, videos, presentations and readings used in the course and the tests, assessments and other methods used to evaluate students learning and understanding. Our vision is of a natural, holistic, student centred learning environment that empowers and inspires our students to be creative, innovative and sensitive human beings. What is taught, the way it is being taught and the environment in which it is taught are all vital elements of DAV-8, Panchkula. The Curriculum planned for the session will not only help the students to know about their task and activities but will also help them in planning their schedules for various curricular and co-curricular activities. The parents are requested to co-operate in supporting and helping their wards to participate and perform better in various scholastic and co-scholastic activities. The students are advised to follow all the guidelines of the curriculum which will help them to achieve better results.
