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 where 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:

 

    1. Azerbaijani language practice
    2. Preparatory studies for reading and writing
    3. Art
    4. Music
    5. Games
    6. Computers
    7. English through games
    8. Free time activity

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 for 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.
