Students at DGS in grades 6-8 enrol in four Core Classes conducted in English: Social Studies, English Language and Literature, Mathematics and Science. These courses are concept-based and inquiry-driven and are tied to key international standards such as Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards. The core classes in the middle school will prepare students for high school. Importantly, courses are designed to stress engagement, critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration and important habits and approaches to learning as outlined in the DGS Deltas.
