Realising the importance and need for students to choose their career paths as early as Class IX, DAV Group, Chennai has introduced the ‘Foundation Programs’.
These programs focusses on early preparation for competitive exams which play a significant role in getting admissions into premier colleges and universities of their choice, hence kickstarting their future beyond school.
To comprehensively prepare students of Class IX & X for their Board Exams and for National-level Admission Tests for their higher education, Foundation Programs have been designed to essentially develop a strong foundation in the fundamentals of Science, Mathematics, Commerce, Interpersonal Skills, Mental Ability and Decision-making.
There are three programs being offered at Class IX level
Foundation – Science
Foundation – Commerce
Foundation – Civil Services & Law
This will be a preparation phase for students to get into DAV’s integrated batches in Classes XI & XII and also coach them for other competitive exams like the ‘National Talent Search Examination (NTSE)’. The selection will be based on the performance of students in Mathematics and Science in various assessments conducted throughout the academic year.
The schedule of the program will integrate with the regular school hours intensively covering Mathematics & Science (Physics, Chemistry and Biology). School hours will however be extended by another 40 minutes only for these sections.
