In celebration of Earth Week, our virtual school hosted a series of

environmentally-themed activities from April 22nd to April 27th. Students
participated in various activities like planting a seed, sustainable living
challenge for a day, eco-friendly craft challenge, etc. The week aimed to foster
a deeper appreciation and understanding of environmental stewardship among
students. The Earth Week celebration was a great way to foster a sense of
ecological responsibility and empowerment among students. This not only
educated them about sustainable practices but also inspired them to be agents
of change in their communities.

I pledge
to protect our planet Earth
by reducing,
reusing,
and recycling.
I will turn off lights
when leaving a room.
I will remind friends and family
to save water
by taking shorter showers.
I promise to turn off the water
while brushing my teeth.

Together,
we can make a difference and create
a more
eco-friendly environment for all.

Echoes of DMVS
Before I joined DMVS, my education was full
of challenges. The schools in my area
struggled to provide quality education, and
my schedule was so packed that I had no
time to explore my interests and passions. I
felt stuck and frustrated.

Everything changed when my elder brother

decided to enroll me in DMVS. At first, I was
sceptical about online schooling. How could
learning from home be any different? But
soon, I realised how transformative this
experience would be.

When I enrolled in DMVS, I was in 11th grade and chose the science
stream. The access to world-class education was right at my fingertips.
The classes were engaging and fun, making learning an enjoyable
experience rather than a chore. The flexible class schedule allowed me to
balance my studies with my personal interests, something which I had
never been able to do before.

Studying science at DMVS has been rewarding. The school offers excellent
resources and interactive lessons that have deepened my understanding of
complex scientific concepts. The support from knowledgeable teachers
has been invaluable, helping me excel in subjects that once seemed
daunting.

One of the most exciting parts of joining DMVS was the opportunity to
showcase my talents, whether through online activities, talent shows, or
group projects. The school encourages students to pursue their passions
and provides a platform to share our skills with others.

Looking back, I can confidently say that joining DMVS was a turning point
in my life. It gave me the quality education I needed. I’m grateful for the
incredible opportunities and support DMVS has provided, and now I can
finally say that this is the best school of my life.

Echoes of DMVS
There is light always after dark nights, they say.
I was a kid who never spoke up In regular school because
I never got such environment where teacher tells you to
speak up and I was bullied for 2 years straight no action
was taken on that. I started hating school because of the
same . Then a miracle happened named ‘DMVS . This
school is not just a school to me , I am connected to my
teachers for the first time in my life and I started
speaking up. I took part in assembly where students
always get motivated, I participated in annual function
and even in spell bee competition.

I started writing poetry in 2022 and

somewhere I never told anyone about it maybe
because I felt that no one will pay attention to
it but randomly one day in our English class in
DMVS , topic of poem recitation was going on
and I told my teacher of English about that and
she encouraged me , showcased my poetry in
every class and motivated me in every aspect .
Also in our Annual Day I gave a guitar
performance that was appreciated by everyone.

I am a NEET aspirant and DMVS is the best opportunity if

you are a NEET or JEE aspirant because it saves time ,
one doesn’t have to go to school daily (can save time) as
the classes are held online regularly. The school offers
dedicated coaching and support to help students excel in
their medical entrance exams. The school also offers
regular practice tests and mock exams to help students
assess their progress and identify areas for improvement.
Moreover, the school focuses on individual attention and
personalized guidance, which is crucial for NEET
preparation. The teachers always ready to clarify doubts
and provide extra support when needed.
