The leap from Knowledge to understanding

Your child has an inquisitive mind, a willing heart, and a vigorous spirit. As a parent, you desire him to develop multifarious skills in as many areas as possible-scholarship, the arts, technology and sports-so that he grows into the truest and best version of himself. So do we.

At DYPIS, no matter what your child tries we are always in support. We foster curiosity, spurring him to new discoveries. We help him to leap from knowledge to understanding. Here he learns how to stand up for himself and for what’s right-and realize what he’s capable of accomplishing.
