Our Curriculum
DPS Jhansi ignites young minds, prepares them for the future, and makes them competent and responsible global citizens. Our curriculum encourages children to explore, dream, create, challenge, and lead! We believe that nature positively impacts children’s development in multiple domains: intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. "There's no way that we can help children to learn to love and preserve this planet if we don't give them direct experiences with the miracles and blessings of nature."
Our curriculum is built after over 2,00,000 hours of research on school education pedagogy, elements, and theories. It works on innovative education based on multiple intelligences, different learning styles, and real-time experiences. Its main aim is to empower students with robust knowledge and allow them to think critically, take positive action and be in harmony with themselves, others, and the earth.
We believe education today nurtures the creation of good citizens. It promotes a culture where students are encouraged to "Think" and "Reflect".
The Curriculum aims to:
1. Achieve cognitive, affective, and psychomotor excellence;
2. Enhance self-awareness and explore innate potential;
3. Attain mastery overlaid down competencies;

About Chrysalis
Chrysalis, a school curriculum based on 2,70,000 hours of pedagogical research and designed to provide a holistic, twenty-first-century education. The curriculum is based on four methods of thinking that EZ Vidya defines to provide a holistic education, based not just on subject learning but also on human development. “Look Deep” emphasizes critical thinking and focuses on logic based questions. “Look Within” emphasizes internal reflection, helping students understand their own differences, interests, and learning processes. “Look Beyond” encourages creativity and out of the box thinking. Finally, “Look Around” sensitizes students to the physical world, helping them connect what they learn with their own lives and the world around them.
These four methods of thinking are designed around the core philosophy of EZ Vidya as inscribed beneath the company logo: to “let the child blossom.” Inherent in the EZ Vidya approach is the belief that, as expressed resolutely by Chitra, education should incorporate an aspect of self-discovery.
“We have to remind ourselves that our role as adults and teachers is not to be sources of information, but… to facilitate, give opportunities for expression, for thinking, because the role is changing,” Chitra explained. “It’s not easy for teachers to shift roles, so that is where EZ Vidya comes in. We give teachers the curriculum and training for the future.”
Yet those at EZ Vidya, too, understand that their work is far from easy and that they have taken on a large, systemic problem. In fact, Chitra joked, “Nothing is easy in EZ Vidya except the first two letters in our organization’s name.”
Nonetheless, their outreach proves that they have made significant strides in improving education in India. With a staff of around 130 people, EZ Vidya currently reaches close to 700 schools across the country. Their current curriculum serves Grades 1-5, but they hope to expand up to Grade 8 in the future. Additionally, they have recently received the mBillionth Award South Asia 2012 for mobile and telecom innovation for their Bridge-it India mobile application, a product built in collaboration with NOKIA to provide education services via mobile device.
Although their goals are set high, the social importance of their work motivates those at EZ Vidya to pursue them rigorously. So to other social entrepreneurs who find themselves daunted by the magnitude of the issues they have taken on, Chitra gives some advice. “You need both patience and impatience,” she explained. “Patience because you should know you’re in it for the long term, but impatience because you shouldn’t get complacent because then these things will never change.”
