The learning style at the School is cooperative, friendly
and student-oriented. The basic element of the learning
process is formed by the student's self evaluation - by
discovering his own potential, taking on responsibilities,
possessing self-confidence, and therefore, using his
creativity and imagination in every aspect of life.
At Dunya School, the medium of instruction is Azerbaijani
(Azeri) with English as a second language. Use of English as
a second language of instruction serves the purpose of
preparing children to find links between their community and
the world. The students learn and use English in an
interactive way, connecting their knowledge with real life
situations, using demonstration techniques. Conversational
Club is held for students of all classes to motivate them to
interact with one another in English. This makes the
students feel themselves in an English speaking environment.
Art, music, drama, dance, chess round out the education
program. Qualified professionals conduct classes in these
fields that are equally important in developing a balanced
character. It's Dunya's aim to educate not just the mind of
student, but to affect their behavior, attitudes and
perceptions effectively, enhancing their self-awareness and
self-reliance.
The classes aren't limited to the classroom walls. Art
exhibitions of Dunya students are often organized at the
School as well as nationally, which stimulate their creative
activity. Extracurricular activities help children develop
confidence in themselves and work with others. There are
also trips to museums, historical places, national parks,
art galleries, theaters, the nature, colleges and, of
course, Khazar University.
Preschool
Dunya Preschool Education
Program is based on discovering and developing whatever
capacity the children may have and provide them with every
possible opportunity to pursue successful formal education.
The preschool classes provide à happy pleasing environment
whe re children are motivated to learn. The instructors act
as facilitators, helping children to discover and grow on
their own. The curriculum is attuned to cognitive, physical,
social and emotional development of the individual child. In
order to reach the goals of the education program the
following activities are performed:

reading and writing

The program
is improved by songs, poems, storytelling and it encourages
children's creativity and imagination. We make the
system more active through work, play, travel, observation,
etc. The thematic units for each week are designed with
extreme care according to the interests, individual needs
and capacity of children.
Primary School
Dunya Primary School offers its students the best academic
environment, active student involvement, a balanced
combination of established tradition and modern ideas and
facilities. Beginning from the 3rd grade students are taught
by teachers specialized in subjects, providing them with a
greater exposure to the different approaches to the learning
experience.
There are different classrooms purposefully designed f or
each subject. There is no place for memorizing conceptual
knowledge, neither is there any homework that doesn't serve
a meaningful purpose. The intention is to teach our students
literacy, basic mathematics and to help them love their
School through various activities. Slow learners are given
extra lessons.
Middle and Secondary School
According to Dunya School's approach, high school education
should prepare students for an independent life and the
university entrance exam. Qualified teachers support their
students to help them become good citizens with critical
thinking ability, who will be able to cope with modern
science and technology, humanities and social studies.
