Value Education Program
Values are guiding principles that shape our outlook towards the world, attitudes and conduct. Values however are either innate or acquired. Innate values are our inborn divine virtues such as love, peace, happiness, mercy and compassion as well as the positive moral qualities such as respect, humility, tolerance, responsibility, cooperation, honesty and simplicity.
Those values which are acquired are universal, cultural or ethnic and individual or personal values. Teachers at DRS have a great duty to train the students in those moral values that present a true perspective of the development of any society or nation. Their role is not merely that of an information giver but also of a facilitator and guide.
The school runs a fully fledged value education program for all classes where learning becomes fun when teachers involve students in various educative value based activities.

This may involve field work in art and sculpture, dance and drama, music and singing, theatre yoga and gymnastics, animation and robotics, photography and Photoshop, design and technology, community and humane society, climate control and eco club etc. or simply a visit for fun whilst developing social skills and making new friends.
