Curriculum
At DPIA our curriculum goes far beyond the International and National Curriculum
We have thoughtfully designed units of work to ensure they are relevant to our students and are responsive to what is going on in the world. Our curriculum design is evidence based and informed by research to ensure all students are challenged. It is structured to empower students and enable them to make autonomous decisions that affect change.
Grades 1 to 6
