Through the year, DPS Gangtok organises workshops that take students beyond the textbook — sessions on topics like art, science experiments, career awareness, digital skills, or personal development, depending on the grade and term.

These aren’t filler activities between exams; they’re deliberately built to expose children to ideas and skills the regular syllabus doesn’t always cover, from creative thinking to practical life skills. Workshops also bring variety into the school calendar, which keeps students genuinely engaged rather than counting days to the next holiday. For a parent, this is a useful lens for judging a school: does it only teach the syllabus, or does it actively widen what a child is exposed to during their most formative years.
