Technology
The 21st century students are tech prodigies, for they are prompt, updated and just a click away from the world of information. At DPS International, Gurgaon, we use technology as a means, not the mission, for harnessing innovation and creativity to improve educational outcomes for all learners.
We use technology to facilitate and expand learning possibilities that serve as a means to investigate ideas, communicate findings, connect people and innovate solutions.
A dynamic, tech-oriented environment is our top priority to foster literacy, competency and confidence amongst our learners.
