This pathway brings a globally recognised curriculum and assessment framework to our existing CBSE strength, giving learners the advantage of an international education while staying connected to the cultural foundation of India.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At DPS Greater Faridabad, we believe that the best education prepares children to navigate the world confidently without losing their sense of identity and roots.
The Cambridge International Programme enables us to:
• Adopt research-based, global best practices in teaching and assessment
• Nurture learners who are curious, reflective and responsible
• Retain the DPS legacy and Indian ethos that emphasise integrity, respect, empathy and service
In the classroom, this translates into a learning environment where children discuss, question, collaborate and create, while also imbibing values that have always defined the DPS tradition.

LEARNING IN A CAMBRIDGE CLASSROOM

Flexible learning spaces that support inquiry, collaboration and exploration

Each Cambridge classroom includes thoughtfully designed work stations for inquiry, problem-solving, reading, experiments, and creative expression. Students move through these zones to explore concepts from multiple angles.

Inquiry-led lessons

Students are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas and examine real-life contexts rather than only preparing for tests.

A focus on deep understanding, skills development and reflective learning

The focus is on why and how, not just what. Learners work on applying concepts to unfamiliar situations

Balanced assessment

Assessment focuses on ongoing formative assessment, classroom-based feedback, and optional Cambridge Progression Tests and Checkpoint assessments.

Global perspective, local relevance

Topics and case studies may include international examples, but classroom conversations always relate back to India’s culture, society and contemporary issues, preserving context and ethos.
