The model is a scale-up of the Delhi model of education in the capital city-state, run by the AAP government and helmed by Education Minister Manish Sisodia.

Students from anywhere in the country can take up the Std 9 DMVS classes online once they are enrolled.

“Delhi Model Virtual School is first-of-its-kind virtual school that will strive to provide excellent education to students remotely through personalized teaching-learning and use of cutting-edge technology. It will ensure learning opportunities for all under the principle of “anywhere living, anytime learning, anytime testing”, Sisodia has said.

“The Delhi Model Virtual School will provide high-quality education in an online setup. Like Delhi government’s Schools of Specialised Excellence, this virtual school will not have domain specialisation and the curriculum remains the same,” explained BK Sharma, Delhi government’s officer on special duty, DMVS.

The online institution, a School of Specialised Excellence and affiliated with Delhi Board of School Education, will provide the option of taking up subjects of one’s preference.

The classes will be online, in all live, recorded and pre-recorded formats. There will be separate teachers for this system.

“The classes will take place every day. While the live classes will be conducted at our studio, the pre-recorded lectures will be available to all students. This online school will have a seamless learning experience through live classes, recorded sessions, assignments and assessments, curated videos, tutorials and personalised mentoring sessions,” said Sharma, who is also the principal of Shaheed Hemu Kalani Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, Lajpat Nagar, where the DMVS studio has been set up.

An essential component of DMVS is that students can engage with classes and learning materials at their own pace. All live classes are archived for later use. It allows students who are following their passion such as music, sports or doing part-time/full-time jobs to still be able to attain high-quality education.

DMVS offers a variety of professional courses that enables students to build on their competencies and skills. Students can choose from the pool of these aspirational courses.

In DMVS, students are provided education specifically tailored to their needs. In tutorials, students engage with what they have learnt in the class in small groups under the supervision of subject teachers. Additionally, they receive on-demand one-on-one academic mentoring.

DMVS allows students to take assessments on concepts rather than a certain course syllabus. This means students can study a concept and opt for online assessments when they feel ready for it.

Note: Students who are applying from outside Delhi must come to the exam centres in Delhi for the end-term examinations

DMVS will also offer additional support to prepare for JEE/NEET, CUET and other entrance exams in grade 11 and 12.
