Dear Anshul,

The Idea is if anyone gets transferred in between ,the child should be able to cope up ..how a cbse/icse curriculum school will cope if he goes abroad in 3th or 6th grade.

The idea is school should be either IB --/a/o level or any other international curriculum

American School/British School/ Dps Int and few more are having these so they are truely international

Some school offer IB only after 10th for children who want to go abroad even that is acceptable but not every second school calling itself INTERNATIONAL school !!

Well said. A clear explanation... We have to check out the labeling of the schools by name "International" which does not follow any international curriculum with no global perspective in it. Feeling ashamed of schools following this new trend which degrades the Educational value of India.

You have provided a very essential information which all parents should know. I have met few parents in NCR who does not know whether their kids are studying in core or franchise DPS schools. Franchise schools follow few things like ordinary schools but in name of DPS.

Thanks a Ton, Sumit sir for letting us know valuable details about DPS NCR schools.
Dear Parents,
This question of core & franchisee DPS Schools keeps up propping in every admission session, so I just want to put forth some thoughts on ponder.
Pls see the following thread of last year’s discussion on this topic.

http://www.admissionsnursery.com/forum/topics/the-new-dps-dps-raj-n...

Pls note that whether it is a Core School (owned by DPS Society) or a School under the Aegis of DPS Society ( popularly known as Franchisee school), following points are sacrosanct in both models:

# Overall teaching methodology and course curriculum governed by DPS Society.
# Basic standard infrastructure.
# Appointment of Teachers & Principal is governed and controlled by the DPS Society only.
# Training & Development of Teachers by the DPS Society.
# Overall school administration, functioning, minimum tuition fee as per DPS Society norms only.

To have a broad clarity, pls read the excerpts from an article related to DPS model published in a magazine. I quote the same as follows:

(( High academic and infrastructure standards are maintained by show-casing the DPS Society’s 11 owned schools (known as ‘core schools’) as models expected to be replicated by franchisees, not only in terms of infrastructure, but also by way of teacher training, student-centred pedagogies and provision of holistic education. Commendably, unlike most excellent K-12 institutions which are wary about adopting the franchise route fearing quality norms dilution, responding to growing middle class demand for high quality affordable (annual tuition fees seldom exceed Rs.50,000) school education, the DPS Society has ventured down the rocky road of franchised growth and expansion with exemplary success by employing “simultaneously loose-tight” controls over licensed affiliate schools.

Under a typical affiliation agreement between the society and the applicant of a DPS franchise, the chairman of the franchised school’s board of management has to be a DPS Society member plus the majority board members have to be society members; the principal has to be appointed by the DPS Society, with the promoter of the franchised school designated vice chairman.

“The affiliation model devised by the society is exemplary as it draws upon the K-12 experience of the society and enables franchised schools to quickly establish reputations for excellent school education.”

“The society maintains a lean management structure and our chairman and office bearers maintain constant contact with affiliated schools by attending their board meetings and discharging other supervisory roles. This is necessary for standardisation of education and other norms across the DPS chain,” explains Renu Mital, director of the DPS Society and founder director of the HRD (teacher training) Centre in DPS Dwarka, New Delhi.
“Over the past 60 years since this school started teaching children in tents, DPS schools across the country have redefined day school education in modern India. By devising a system for teaching students of differing capabilities to excel academ-ically, encouraging co-curricular and sports education, 140 DPS schools are delivering uniquely holistic education to shape the future leaders of India,” says M. I. Hussain, a former secretary of the DPS Society, founder-principal of the highly-rated DPS, Bhilai, founder principal of DPS, Kuwait and currently principal of DPS, Mathura Road.

“While initially there was a strong focus on academic excellence in DPS schools, in recent times the DPS Society has made a conscious effort to encourage holistic education by prompting all DPS schools to also promote co-curricular and sports education.” affirmed by D.R. Saini, principal of DPS, R.K. Puram.

“The DPS development model necessitates active involvement of the society with all affiliated schools under the DPS brand umbrella. This model has enabled us to ensure standardisation and maintain the reputation of the DPS brand. Therefore I don’t think we will be able to stretch ourselves to accommodate the 300-plus affiliation applications pending before the society. While we will continue to co-promote new DPS schools, we are also debating the idea of a consultancy wing to advise educationists to promote and/or upgrade their institutions to DPS standards. Additionally, we are examining promotion of teacher training and vocational training institutes countrywide. These are challenging times, and the DPS Society is also changing to meet the new challenges of the 21st century,” says Ashok Chandra, incumbent chairman of the DPS Society.))

Warm Regards,
Bij:)

There are only 2 DPS Society schools (under its Aegies or you may call them Frainchisee schools) in and around Ghaziabad:

1. DPS Indirapuram at Rail Vihar Indirapuram, established around 2003.

2. DPS Raj Nagar at Meerut Road, 7th milestone or opposite Sail Godown once you pass ITC Factory at Left Side en route to Meerut from Ghaziabad. As it is near to Raj Nagar extension, it's name has come as DPS Raj Nagar.

The other oldest established school you may be confused with DPS name is Delhi Public School, Ghaziabad, wich is now no more a DPS Society school. It is situated at Right side of the Ghaziabad-Meerut road just at entrance of Raj Nagar. This school has a branch at Vasundhara known as Delhi Public School, Ghaziabad Vasundhara.
