ZFA – Deutsche Auslandsschularbeit International

“Learning a foreign language, and the culture that goes with it, is one of the most useful things we can do to broaden the empathy and imaginative sympathy and cultural outlook of children.”

Today, with the world borders becoming more porous than ever, it is believed that having knowledge of any foreign language gives an edge to the students. It not only sharpens critical thinking but also broadens one’s perspective.

Keeping in tandem with modern education philosophy and to give deeper respect to this multifaceted world, G.D. Goenka Public School Dwarka has undertaken teaching of German Language for students. Class room teaching not only becomes a catalyst for international education but also a window to the diverse cultures of the world.

German Universities are ranked amongst the apex universities in the world and these universities award a generous number of scholarships along with other aids therefore, German as a language has received much impetus on the global scenario. The chief criterion for studying in German universities is the knowledge of German language.

To ensure that our students bag a seat in a reputed German university, our school has collaborated with the Central Office for Schools Abroad (ZfA) for the conduction of German Language Diploma (DSD).

The Central Office for Schools Abroad (ZfA) promotes teaching of German language at outstanding schools and supports them together with the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany, with the aim of giving German learners the opportunity to successfully study at a university in Germany. This is also intended to make a lasting contribution to deepening the friendly relations between India and the Federal Republic of Germany.

The Central Office for Schools Abroad (ZfA), on behalf of the Federal Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany will support our school to carry out the German Language Diploma (DSD) of the Conference of Ministers of Education. The German language diploma is offered as German language Diploma I (DSD I, level B1) and German language Diploma II (DSD II, level B2 /C1)

DSD examinations are internationally recognized as they are in accordance with CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) and are held worldwide according to uniform guidelines. These certificates are valid worldwide and are essential for job prospects or to pursue higher education in Germany.

Our students will undergo rigorous training lessons to appear for this international level German Language Diploma.

The primary goal of these exams is to provide official proof of linguistic competency to students who are dedicated to study at a German University or who are interested in careers where German is a prerequisite.

With this initiative, the school will also be part of “Schools: Partners for the Future” (PASCH) which is coordinated by the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany and jointly with the ZfA, the Goethe-Institute (GI), the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Pedagogical Exchange Service (PAD) of the Conference of Ministers of Education, Germany. The aim of the program is to arouse sustained interest and enthusiasm for modern Germany and the German language in young people.

The completion of DSD Level exams enable students to apply for scholarships to pursue higher studies in Germany.

Students will receive the diploma presented by the Embassy of The Federal Republic of Germany, listing the individual scores of each of the four sections.

Through this endeavour, we, at G.D. Goenka Public School, Dwarka, wish to sow seeds of a batch of world leaders who can engage with different societies and are able to build cooperation between them. So, give that edge to your child and be a part of this pursuit.

With boundless joy, I extend a heartfelt welcome to our esteemed school's digital abode, a virtual sanctuary embodying our profound commitment to fostering holistic growth and an enriching educational expedition.

Within the sanctified environs of our institution, we fervently understand that true education surpasses the confines of mere textbooks and examinations. Inspired by the timeless teachings of scholars like Swami Vivekananda, we endeavour to create a sanctum where young minds can unfurl their intellectual, emotional, social, and physical petals, blooming into radiant beings. Our sole mission lies in quenching the thirst for knowledge, igniting the flame of curiosity, and awakening an indomitable spirit of lifelong learning. Through an all-encompassing curriculum, which embraces not only the academic realm but also the vivacity of sports, the euphony of arts, and the kaleidoscope of extracurricular endeavours, within the enchanting warp and weft of our educational sanctuary, a resplendent canvas emerges, beckoning each student to paint an astounding landscape of self-discovery and unfathomable excellence.

With unwavering conviction, we endeavour to provide a milieu wherein scholastic excellence harmoniously converges with the development of noble virtues. In this sanctum, we strive to sculpt not just erudite minds but also compassionate souls, poised to embrace the challenges of life with grace and fortitude.

As we navigate the tempestuous waters of the 21st century, we stand resolute in our belief that education must equip our students with the sails of 21st-century skills. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, a luminary whose brilliance continues to illuminate our path, emphasized the pivotal role of these skills in preparing the youth for the trials and triumphs of our ever-evolving world. With the wisdom of great global educational leaders as our guiding star, we interweave critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and adaptability into the very fabric of our pedagogical fabric. As we sculpt the young minds and hearts, we kindle within them a relentless passion to create, innovate, and make a resounding impact in a world brimming with possibilities.

Dear students, dear dreamers and believers, we recognize the profundity of your aspirations and the wings you yearn to unfurl. Our revered duty lies in affording you those wings to fly. We call upon you to dream audaciously, for within the precincts of our institution, we provide the nurturing soil where aspirations take root and flourish. Through mentorship programmes, great mentors as celestial beacons of guidance, and immersive experiences that bring the real world to your doorstep, we arm you with the tools, wisdom, and unwavering support required to ascend to the zenith of your chosen realms.

Warm wishes

I believe that every child has a unique innate light and nothing can dim the sheen that comes from within. At GD Goenka Public School, Sector-10, Dwarka we identify, nurture and celebrate that spark in the young inquisitive mind and take the child on an exploratory voyage to discover the world in all its splendour.

Our school is a fulcrum of holistic, integrative, experiential & inclusive learning experience where the student is positioned at the core of all collaboratively designed action. It is a relentless endeavour to bring to the platter a smorgasbord of scholastic and co-scholastic activities that pirouette around the school’s motto, ‘Higher, Stronger, Brighter’ and to ensure that our students receive the finest well-rounded education possible.

Our erudite team of mentors are the knights in shining armours to lead, guide and facilitate the learning process so that the Goenkans who pass out from our portals are morally upright, ethically strong, deeply rooted in cultural heritage and yet grow with a global outlook. Kudos to our mentors, who are always ready to go an extra mile to provide a coppice of reflective and pioneering thought process, a pivot of experiential learning. Thus, equipping the students with experiences that foster aptitude in critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork, and which have considerable value in promoting underlying attributes associated with being well-prepared for life, such as creativity, persistence, and the ability to communicate and collaborate.

To my lovely students, I would like to say that always believe in your innate spark and know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle that comes your way. Hardships sharpen your abilities to be persistent, dedicated, and positive. Just like you can’t build a strong body without exercise, you can’t build a strong character without managing difficulties. In our late president Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s words, “Don’t fear failing in the first attempt because even successful maths starts with zero only” and to add to it, I will further say that never be afraid of dreaming big, dreams will fuel your surge to the infinite skies.

I also acknowledge the ardent involvement of community and parents to collectively encourage students' learning, to augment student outcomes and equip them with the proficiencies to surpass in a rapidly changing global landscape.

To conclude, I will summarise in the words of Gwendolyn Brooks “We are each other's harvest; we are each other's business; we are each other's magnitude and bond”. So, let us come together and strive to create a better world. Each individual spark when brought together can light up the darkest hour. Be that spark and let there be light!

"आप एक विद्यार्थी को पाठ्यक्रम पढ़ा सकते हैं लेकिन यदि आप उसे जिज्ञासा पैदा करके सीखने के लिए प्रेरित करते हैं तो वह सीखने की प्रक्रिया आजीवन जारी रहेगी।" जी.डी.गोयंका पब्लिक स्कूल द्वारका, सभी छात्रों को शैक्षणिक, सांस्कृतिक, कलात्मक, खेल और सामुदायिक प्रयासों में उत्कृष्टता हासिल करने के हर संभव अवसर प्रदान करता है। यहाँ विद्यार्थियों की शैक्षणिक और सह- शैक्षणिक ज़रूरतों को सर्वोपरि रखा जाता हैं । विद्यार्थियों को पारंपरिक भारतीय और आधुनिक पाश्चात्य मूल्यों का सम्मान करना और उन्हें सह-अस्तित्व में काम करना सिखाया जाता है। हमारा दृढ़ विश्वास है कि यदि विद्यालय का वातावरण प्रेरक और उद्देश्यपूर्ण हो तो छात्र कौशल अर्जन के साथ स्वतःज्ञान प्राप्ति की ओर अग्रसर हो जाते हैं।

सभी स्तरों पर शिक्षार्थियों की उपलब्धियों को पहचानना और पुरस्कृत करना हमारी सर्वोच्च प्राथमिकता है। हमारे प्रशिक्षित और अनुभवी शिक्षक भविष्य-केंद्रित शिक्षण कौशल को संचालित करने के लिए हमारे छात्रों में क्षमता निर्माण की दिशा में प्रयासरत रहते हैं। वे छात्रों में कौशल, समस्या समाधान, मूल्यांकन, समूह में काम करने की भावना, संचार, और रचनात्मकता को बढ़ाते हैं। अपने सकल सामूहिक कल्याण को अधिकतम करने के लिए, हम शैक्षणिक योग्यता हासिल करने, सार्थक लक्ष्यों को प्राप्त करने के लिए दूसरों के साथ सहयोग करने, छात्रों को नई चुनौतियों का प्रयास करने के लिए उनके आराम क्षेत्र से बाहर निकलने के लिए धीरे-धीरे प्रोत्साहित कर 'भविष्य के लिए उपयुक्त' नागरिक तैयार करना है जो अनुशासित, संश्लेषणात्मक, सम्मानजनक और नैतिक हो। हम बच्चों को लक्ष्य प्राप्ति के लिए दिशा निर्देश और सहायता प्रदान करते हैं। हमारे बच्चों को नैतिक सीमाओं के भीतर, व्यक्तिगत श्रेष्ठता की ओर बढ़ने के लिए प्रेरित किया करते हैं।
जैसे-जैसे छात्र अधिक स्वायत्त होते जाते हैं, उनके विकास की प्रक्रिया अधिक संवादात्मक हो जाती है। बच्चों की शिक्षा का मार्गदर्शन और समर्थन करने के लिए, हम यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए अपने प्रिय माता-पिता का समर्थन चाहते हैं कि हमारे बच्चे प्रतिदिन विद्यालय में सीखने के लिए तैयार रहें। हम चाहते हैं कि वे अपने साहित्यिक कौशल में सुधार करने के लिए प्रतिदिन पढ़ें। हम बच्चों को प्रोत्साहित और निर्देशित करते हैं ताकि वे एक संतुलित और सामाजिक रूप से जागरूक व्यक्ति बन सकें।

आइए अभिभावक गण, हम एक साथ मिलकर काम करें और अपने बच्चों को सर्वश्रेष्ठ प्रदर्शन के लिए प्रेरित करें!
