Why Dasmesh Punjabi School

Dasmesh Punjabi School goes beyond the regular school curriculum. Apart from the standard BC Ministry of Education curriculum, its course offerings also include Punjabi language and Sikh Studies. The School has a number of focus areas that make it one of the most effective in the Fraser Valley:

• ACADEMICS - studies and homework are given top priority

• SPORTS - every child counts.

• ATTITUDES - Regular assemblies, Sikh Studies instruction, standing up for teachers, and leadership (monitor) programs reinforce the values of respect, responsibility, hard work, and discipline.

• A SAFE AND HEALTHY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT - our school is bully and junk food-proof, and drug and cigarette-free.

• PROGRAMS THAT COUNT - for good jobs in the future, effective communication, math, and computer skills are crucial. To ensure these, we have in place: a Phonics Program for Primary students, Punjabi language courses, integrated Math, Science, and Information Technology studies.

• A SCHOOL UNIFORM - this creates a sense of equality and promotes school spirit for our students.

• CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS - these keep our community involvement in our school at a premium..

• CONTESTS AND CHALLENGES - these motivate our students to compete regionally and nationally, and add enrichment to our course offerings

• EXTRA-CURRICULAR SPORTS - with dedicated parent and PE staff coaches, interschool competitions are regular.
