True education goes beyond textbooks and exams — it shapes the complete personality of a child. At Dolphin Public School, we deeply believe in balancing arts and science to nurture the “whole child,” fostering not only intellectual growth but also creativity, emotional intelligence, physical health, and social skills, as supported by research on arts education benefits and arts integration in science.
This integrated approach is perfectly in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 vision of multidisciplinary learning and holistic development, as detailed in the official NEP 2020 document. It stands as a cornerstone of our excellence in CBSE education & pedagogy, ensuring students become well-rounded individuals ready for life’s diverse challenges.
Why Balancing Arts and Science is Essential
Focusing only on science or academics can limit a child’s potential. A balanced curriculum:
- Sparks creativity and innovation through arts while building logical thinking via science, promoting creativity and academics and holistic brain development
- Improves emotional expression and stress relief
- Enhances overall brain development and cognitive flexibility
- Prepares students for diverse careers in a world that values both technical and creative skills
How We Integrate Arts and Science at Dolphin Public School
We weave arts and science together through thoughtful programs:
- Interdisciplinary Projects
Students combine science concepts with artistic expression, like creating models of ecosystems or designing eco-friendly art installations, aligning with STEAM approaches for arts in engineering and science. - Dedicated Arts Curriculum
Regular classes in music, dance, drama, painting, and crafts develop fine motor skills, self-expression, and cultural awareness. - Science Through Creative Lenses
We use art to teach science — drawing diagrams, role-playing experiments, or using music to remember formulas. - Co-Curricular Activities
Clubs for robotics (science + design), environmental art (science + painting), and science theatre blend both fields. - Balanced Timetable
Equal time for arts, science labs, sports, and academics ensures no area is neglected.
This integration complements our integrated lab activities in science and supports concept mastery in mathematics through creative visualization, as explored in our math approach blog.
Here are vibrant moments of our students exploring the beautiful blend of arts and science:
