Middle Years Programme

At Danila Kumar, students from Grade 6 to Grade 8 are part of the MYP. It offers an educational approach that embraces, yet transcends, traditional school subjects. While insisting upon thorough study of the various disciplines, MYP accentuates the inter-relatedness of them and so advances a holistic view of knowledge. Students are encouraged to develop intercultural awareness along with genuine understanding of their own history and traditions.

Within the framework of MYP programme at Danila Kumar school, students are expected to attend a variety of class subjects each week. Some subjects are grade dependent and can be checked in the parent's and student's handbook which is distributed at the beginning of the school year.
