At DIS we practice 'student centered approach', where teaching for understanding is coupled with a stimulating and varied curriculum. To inculcate in our students a passion for learning and achievement, we have various clubs and societies of which they can become members. We believe that all our students are unique individuals, with equal potential to make a positive contribution to the school. Our goal is to instil an enthusiasm for lifelong learning. Students under the guidance of a faculty member run their own clubs and organize activities, depending on their interests. They have the option to choose from G.K. Club, Literary Club, Eco Club, Social Service- Interact Club, Debating Club, Photography Club etc .
Interact
Rotary International is the world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the motto Service Above Self.
Interact is Rotary International's service club for young people ages 14 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting.
Defence Careers Academy's students are active members of the club and each year, they help complete at least two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill.
Through these efforts, our school's Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs and learn the importance of:
Photography club
A picture speaks a thousand words. Students in the Photography Club are taught the art and technique of good photography. The objective here is to teach them the nuances of focus, shutter speed, aperture etc. besides learning how to define objects, distance, angles, color combinations, light and diffusion, size and coverage, vantage positioning and artistic viewpoints. We have a good number of 'picture perfect' photographs in the making.
Literary club
The Literary Club at DIS aims to develop analytical and creative thinking. It offers children opportunities to appreciate different types of writings, literature, increase their knowledge about writers and literary classics. The Club also encourages students to showcase their own work in English and Hindi through the school's quarterly publication, 'The Bugle', and the school's annual magazine, 'Vision'. Students are urged to develop a keen interest in reading and writing. Students also benefit from participating in activities like debates, writing competitions and quizzes which are regularly organised by the club.
