The school follows CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) New Delhi. The CBSE envisions a robust, vibrant and holistic education that will engender excellence in every sphere of human endeavor. Doon International School, Sri Muktsar Sahib is committed to providing quality and holistic education to promote intellectual, social and cultural vivacity amongst its learners.
At the Doon International School, interaction with the children is a round-the-clock engagement. The programme is devised to keep them occupied in worthwhile activities in order to develop their personality and character.
Hence a large number of co-curricular and extracurricular activities are an integral part of the school programme.
The daily routine begins with the school assembly is followed by the regular class room schedule.
This consists of 40 minute periods interspersed by a fruit break and a lunch recess. The actual number of class room periods may vary from class to class depending upon the age group of the students. The end of class is followed by the school sports.
We believe that creative achievement creates a confident human with great self-worth and esteem. Music and theater, pottery and painting, crafting models are not extra- curricular activities; they are co-curricular activities integrated into their course of study to let the children understand how all learning is interconnected – baking with Chemistry, bowling with Physics, music with Mathematics.
Students grow in various directions; their interests are kindled by various stimuli; their awareness expands in direct proportion to multidimensional exposures directed at them.
Recognizing this, debates, quizzes, competitions, exhibitions are all organized to build an interest and awareness in what is happening in the world around them and equip them with the required confidence and ability.
The school considers educational tours, treks and outings as an integral part of a child’s complete education. It is deemed desirable that all children participate in tours, treks and outings organized at the school level twice a year in order to inculcate in them sensitivity towards the environment, geographical diversity and ways of living of people of various regions, and familiarize them with their ancient and modern culture and civilization.
The school tours not only open the nascent minds to the wider world but also help expose them to different and diverse ways of life, thus developing in them a broad outlook. In addition to the two long mid-term excursions, the school regularly organizes weekend picnics and daytrips for the school students.
In order to keep the children fit in mind and body, each child is required to participate in one or more games and/or sports, especially in those in which he/she excels.
The school has arrangements for regular sports practice in all popular sports such as Badminton, Cricket, Football, Tennis, Athletics, Basketball, Skating, Shooting etc.
