The Focus on Field Trips
Translating Scientific Education into Academic Success and Career Advancement
At BDSIS, we ensure that scientific education is not a standalone endeavour but a catalyst for academic success and career advancement. As students develop their scientific skills, they gain confidence, which is reflected in their academic performance.
For example, in the recent past, Grade 11 Biology students, in collaboration with the Design and Technology team, skillfully crafted a life-size DNA model. Applying their understanding of structures and processes learned in biology class, they successfully constructed and demonstrated the entire replication process, incorporating numerous abstract and complex steps with remarkable ease.
In the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), students align subject choices with their career aspirations. Whether it’s pursuing a career in engineering or architecture, the foundational scientific inquiry skills acquired at BDSIS play a pivotal role.
The school takes students beyond the classroom, exposing them to real-world scenarios through extended essays, internal assessments, and group projects. Research opportunities, science fairs, and mentorship programs allow students to apply their scientific knowledge in practical settings, strengthening college applications and paving the way for future success.
Real-World Application of Scientific Thinking
Fostering Passion for Scientific Inquiry
To foster a genuine passion for scientific inquiry, we create an environment that encourages curiosity, exploration, and hands-on learning. Science projects, extended essays, and internal assessments allow students to explore personally interesting science-related topics, cultivating a deep enthusiasm for scientific exploration.
Our school’s science club, various science field trips, and guest speaker sessions with experts further enrich the learning experience. By encouraging student-centric scientific learning and providing opportunities for international-level scientific competitions, BDSIS ensures that students not only grasp scientific concepts but also develop a genuine love for the subject.
