Message from the Principal

The quests to discover life's wonders,
is to nourish the "Richness of the heart",
throughout the long years and
will be the foundation to enrich your life.
The DIS "education"
It may seem a little different from others

Very commonly, "education" could be defined as
being able to read, write, name objects,
do addition and subtraction, can speak a foreign language, etc.
Where there is a heavy emphasis on what we can do.

Is that really the most important thing?

For example, "to write"
The objective of writing is not to "write"
but by using the expression "to write" to expand your imagination
what to express, create, do
to another meaning of "to write", it is most important.

To store the necessary knowledge and ways
is a very important thing.
Just to store such information will not be the source to live your life.
Not only to trace the right answers, but to think for oneself.
By pulling out the stored information, edit, and molding it
your own way and outputting it all,
you become alive for the first time.

Children try to absorb everything that surrounds them
Children try to send information all around themselves.

There is no right or wrong answer.
It is filled with joy, questions, and imagination.

An education not only to "teach"
It presents a lot of charm located around the kids,
pull out the interest of the children to the experience.
Through that experience, the creativity of each of them,
expression, emotion, and imagination
will continue to grow.
What our "education" aims is to develop and enhance
the treasures that children are born with.

Stop showing the children the road of the obvious,
but if is necessary, teach them only the wonders of life.
(from the "amazing world of learning")

Referred to as the best education approach by Time Magazine,
from Italy "Reggio Emilia Approach"
Grattino Delrio (Reggio Emilia Mayor)
was told to quote the words of Mr. Georgio Garbel

The Reggio Emilia Approach is
to honestly encourage the "sensitivity" within children
the potential ability of the children
such as to let them grow naturally(spontaneous)
which is a beautiful educational approach.

We believe that at DIS, children find out
what is really important while incorporating
edcaution based on this approach,
we want to make it a "place" for all of us to grow.

The quests to discover life's wonders,
is to nourish the "Richness of the heart",
throughout the long years and
will be the foundation to enrich your life.

Think for oneself.
