Philosophy of education
Our primary aim at Delhi Public School, the top schools in Hyderabad, is to instill values like integrity, honesty, trust, tolerance, and compassion in the students helping them to become a meaningful part of their environment.
We strongly believe that all students have the potential to be successful learners and there is no limit to what a child can achieve. Each child has a different learning style. Thus, we incorporate the Multiple Intelligences developed by Howard Gardner when planning our curriculum. Our curriculum keeps evolving to incorporate the latest learning techniques. We have a highly qualified and dedicated teaching staff with a wide range of skills and interests which gives shape to this and provides a very enriching environment.

Soft Skills
For students to be successful in school and beyond, importance is given to the holistic development of the child. Apart from academics, the children are taught interpersonal skills, social etiquettes, communication, personal habits, and leadership skills which will help them in becoming successful citizens of the world. The importance is given to values like honesty, respect and caring which the students learn through different activities and programs like “Share and Care” week, teamwork during projects, inter-house and inter-school competitions. Different opportunities are given to the students through assemblies, helping in organizing events, participating in Annual Days, Graduation Days, exhibitions and other programs. Also, students are guided to overcome their shortfalls through positive critiquing.
Leadership Skills
The strength of DPS Airport, top schools in Hyderabad, lies in empowering our students and preparing them by investing in leadership responsibilities from a very adolescent age. Student leaders are at different levels with specific responsibilities as early as 5 years of age. Each class has a Class Monitor, a DPS Charger and a Green Crusader. There is a Prefect Council that is elected through a democratic process of free and fair elections by Online voting. Senior-most class in the school surmounts the running of the school (teaching and Admin) on Teachers Day. During school events like annual/Sports day, Annual Play, to name a few, students are involved in all stages of preparation (planning to organize and conducting).
Values
Value education is not only part of the curriculum but is an integral part of the school. Right from class Pre Nursery onwards, the values of honesty, respect, caring, and cleanliness are instilled in the students. Towards this, different classes perform Street plays bring out different values to the general public. The Helping Hand Project gives different opportunities to the students to help them to develop a respect for different cultures and society. They have gone on Heritage walks, Langer Seva, had Garage Sales and many other activities which imbibe the value of Service Before Self. During birthdays children are encouraged to donate saplings to the school instead of bringing chocolates. The Teachers and Children have taken a pledge that each one will plant a tree and take care of it.
Community Service
Our motto is ‘Service before self’ and all our endeavors are towards staying true to our motto. ‘Joy of Giving’ week has the whole school amassing raw food items, apparel or stationery and taking it across to the less fortuitous. The students intermingle with the inmates which helps them get an insight into their lives sensitizing them to the underprivileged. To inculcate the importance of a clean environment, the whole school participates in “Swatch DPS” where all students and staff help clean their classrooms. The DPS Chargers help in spreading the message of saving water and electricity. The Green Crusaders help promote the recycling of paper. The ‘Care and Share’ week helps in building comradeship by not only helping friends but also doing good deeds for relatives or strangers and coming and sharing with all during the school assembly.
