Academic
At Dalpark Independent School, we offer a nurturing, collaborative environment where each learner is valued and encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning journey.
ACADEMIC OFFERING:
Our enriched IEB curriculum is designed to promote self-development and critical thinking, encouraging learners to take ownership of their education and to reflect upon their progress. With state-of-the-art facilities, including a dedicated Science laboratory, a Robotics laboratory, and classrooms equipped with interactive whiteboards and projectors, learners from Grade 4 to 10 also have Wi-Fi access to digital resources on their own devices.
Through specialized support from EduNation Management Services, our curriculum includes methodologies like Robotics from Grade 1 to 6, the Flipped Classroom approach, collaborative learning through the Harkness method, and data-driven interventions that ensure each learner reaches their potential.
From Singapore Maths in the Foundation Phase to continuous assessment practices, we are dedicated to a holistic, forward-thinking educational experience.
Our Grade R program is designed to inspire young learners through play, encouraging natural curiosity and a love for learning. Alongside building strong foundations in Language, Life Skills, and Maths, our learners develop essential physical co-ordination and fine motor skills. We foster social growth through interactive group activities, helping each child gain confidence and build friendships in a warm, supportive environment.

The school follows the standard IEB curriculum. Subjects offered are phase-specific; however, the following encompasses the Prep and Senior School. Subject offering is dependent on demand. In 2025, we’ll be phasing in Robotics for Grades 1-6 to foster early interest in technology and innovation.
