The Four Communication Skills
B.D.M. International School aims to develop well-rounded, socially and emotionally adept individuals with the love for lifelong learning. Our advanced curriculum paves the way forward to create curious, knowledgeable, conscientious, and empathetic young people.
We facilitate, we do not instruct

We believe that creativity and self-expression are at the center of a unique learning experience at B.D.M. International.

Physical Well-being
We lay due emphasis on physical well-being through active participation in various social, athletic, and artistic clubs and societies. Our sports department aims at a structured expression of the physical self for holistic development of our students. We have a well planned curriculum in place that is intertwined with the student’s daily schedule to ensure that they are active, fit, and healthy for life.
Online Horizons
A strong focus on art integrated education ensures that the learners gain experience in being flexible, adaptable and innovative as they develop their 4Cs (Critical thinking, Creativity and Innovation, Collaboration and Communication).
A unique module of hybrid classes (Online and offline) required a few selected students to attend their classes physically in the classroom and the remaining students attended it online. Offline classes were consensually opted for by the students and were arranged following the established COVID protocols by the government and with prior permission from their guardians.
Keeping with the demands of the ever-evolving, competitive world, regular webinars, and workshops are conducted by industry accredited professionals within the premises to update and enlighten the young minds of the secondary section.
Regular mental health classes have been incorporated in the class timetables to ensure that learners have access and the opportunity to freely talk about their feelings and emotions and realize that they are being heard.
Learners get ample opportunities to participate in co-curricular activities through a dedicated activity period in their daily schedule. This not only breaks the monotony of academic classes but also gives them the chance to be creative
In this difficult period, alternative exam arrangements have been made to ensure that learners are aptly graded to prepare them for the myrid challenges of life, soon after the pandemic gets over. Proctored examinations have been carried out with the aid of child-friendly applications and software to aid in this process.
The facility of having a Digital Library ensures that our learners develop strong observational skills as they understand the importance of being clear, concise, confident, and personable during a conversation. Countless books, in digital format, are accessible by students. Our focused approach inside the classroom and commitment to providing independent access translates to an effective reading habit.
We make use of various online applications, oral work, open book assignments, classroom discussions, project work and experimentation, and written assignments.
Tele-counselling sessions are conducted for relieving students from anxiety and stress. Special sessions such as study habits, memory enhancement, thinking aloud, usage of technological devices, and brainstorming sessions are also conducted from time to time.
We all participate and celebrate the important days and events through virtual celebrations.
