The IDPS Shooting Range aptly named ‘Shooting Star’ was inaugurated in Aug of 2018 to build our students sporting caliber and also encourage a coherent training regimen in developing attributes like concentration, discipline and stamina.

IDPS Garten:

1. The IDPS Garten concentrates on the formative needs of young inquisitive learners and are focused on the improvement of gross and fine-motor abilities. The environment and the activities are intended to help the students to comprehend and take in the distinctive ideas through play-way systems. For this purpose, our Kindergarten Wing is theme based in all aspects starting from the classroom infrastructure, play way approach of learning by doing and also, the academic curriculum. All four classes of the IDPS Garten are represented by a color and name. Taking the theme-based environment further up to Grade I as well, the same class has been named Begonia for the next session onwards.

2. The introduction of the MOTHER TODDLER PROGRAM and BUDDY SYSTEM have been two programs that have gained serious appreciation from both students and parents alike.

• The MOTHER TODDLER PROGRAM enables our mothers to spend quality time with their wards in the class room environment.

• The BUDDY SYSTEM enables students to interact, share a meal and learn to help each other as a unit, irrespective of their age group.

3. The International Delhi Public School Jammu believes every child is a Star and has the ability to shine in his or her own special way. The Interschool event - ‘Star Quest’ was the brainchild of the Kindergarten team and we are very proud of the successful conduct of the same for two consecutive years. It has encouraged and nurtured the young talent and enjoyed participation from all leading schools across Jammu.

4. The Jungle Safari is an animal theme-based event for Kindergarten which is organized annually in the form of a Fancy-Dress competition. This is an innovative method of learning by doing and having fun at the same time.

Co-Curricular:

1. One of the most appealing aspects of the school curriculum is the conduct of the IDPS Club. It has garnered great attention and been highly valued by our parents and students. The IDPS clubs; be it Sports, Nature, Sci-Ma, SUPW, Literary or Cultural, offer important life skills which enables the students to enhance communication skills, leadership skills and team work for grooming every facet of their personality. This also gives the chance to the students to explore and analyze their inner talent.

2. When students leave the classroom, they see the connections between what is happening at school and in the ‘real-world’. IDPS believes in building these connections and has organized frequent picnics, field trips and camps to ensure a multi-sensory learning experience.

3. Competitions and activities organized offer opportunities for students to learn the values of teamwork, individual and group responsibility and a sense of culture and community. Extracurricular activities provided a channel for reinforcing the lessons learned in the classroom in a real-world context, and are thus considered an integral part of a well-rounded education. Realizing this, opportunities were provided to students to take part in a number of activities and competitions-both intra and inter school like Debates, Declamations, Quiz, Music and Dance, Sports, Athletics, Art & Craft, Culinary skills etc.

4. To ensure that our students are equipped to face any challenge, we have focused sessions on special topics including health education through checkups, traffic rules, social responsibilities like anti-bullying campaign, rallies for environmental awareness, life skills, table manners etc.

5. Weekly theme-based Assemblies are conducted class wise. They help in unifying the students, develop core values like social discipline and also build confidence as everyone gets an opportunity to express themselves on stage in front of an audience.
