What Parents Say
Parents share their heartfelt experiences with the DPSIS Bridge Program.
Our son Reyhaan attended the bridge course in 2019. To summarize the whole experience in two words, we would say "Worth it". We would be honest to tell you that it was not easy to squeeze in majority of an annual coursework in just 3 months! That's where the teachers did an amazing job of guiding and motivating the students. Reyhaan was so engaged that he wanted to continue with the same class teacher (Pousali ma'am) even in grade 2. Before joining the bridge course, Reyhaan was very keen on sitting for local school entrance exam in July as most of his kindergarten friends were there. But now he is just too happy and said he wants to continue here for as long as he can. We guess that it itself is a testimony of the trust and confidence that DPS instilled in him within just 3 months. Proud to be a part of the family.

My daughter Ritvika Sriram joined DPSIS in the month of January 2019. Filled with curiosity and fear my girl attended the bridge course. The bridge course was properly planned and structured in a way the kids could have an easy transition to primary 2 in a short span of time. The three months of bridge course was stress free making the kids to comfortably adapt to the school environment. The teachers were very patient, dedicated and humble towards the children. The school management led by the efficient principal gave us a good support. Academically I could see a tremendous improvement in my child. DPS takes the responsibility on instilling good values in children. We as parents whole heartedly feel satisfied in selecting the right school for our child by selecting DPSIS.

We witnessed such a fast-paced, result-oriented and well-thought mental model through the DPS Bridge Course journey. During the course, we observed a considerable improvement in our child's ability to read, write, think, process, speak, and socialize. As a parent, we had many doubts initially about how our child would manage such an accelerated learning path. But the program engaged us from the start with constant feedback and communication, while involving our child in both academics and co-curricular activities.
