‘We nurture holistic growth’
Interview with Bhuvaneswari Rao, Principal, DAV School, Jawalakhel
What kind of education does DAV focus on?
DAV is a Vedic missionary school and here we focus on an education which converts students lifelong learners. We blend the values and knowledge taught by Eastern philosophy with technological and scientific development of the West so that we raise children who are not just successful in the job market but also become good human beings. For example, in our classrooms children practise meditation and then make a Powerpoint presentation right after.
How are children taught in the classroom?
We use both the CBSE and the local curriculum and adjust them as per the need of the learners, as we have children who come from diverse backgrounds. We have students not only from Nepal but also from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka as well, and due to this huge diversity, children get to learn from each other. Students are also required to actively participate in co-scholastic activities for their holistic development.
What type of infrastructure does the school have?
DAV has 21st century infrastructures to cater to present technological requirements of the world. We have well-equipped classrooms and laboratories where students learn to apply their knowledge practically.
How are the teachers in the school?
We have very experienced and enthusiastic teachers who are very much into research-oriented teaching methods. They focus on holistic development of children to give them a comprehensive global outlook.
