Academic Excellence Through Experiential Learning
At Dbels, we believe meaningful education happens when children experience, explore, and create rather than simply absorb information. Our academic framework combines three powerful approaches: Finland's world-renowned early years methodology, the Cambridge International curriculum, and India's first systematic entrepreneurship education programme from Grade 1 onwards.
This distinctive blend prepares children not merely for examinations but for life in an interconnected world where creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability matter as much as academic achievement.
Our Pedagogical Foundation
Learning at Dbels is built on the principle that children develop best when given opportunities to question, investigate, and apply knowledge to real situations. Our curriculum aligns with both the National Education Policy 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework 2023, which emphasise multidisciplinary learning and holistic development.
The STREAM framework forms the backbone of our academic approach, integrating Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics across all learning stages. This ensures that analytical thinking and creative expression develop together rather than in isolation.
