Founding Principal’s Message
Ms. Elisabeth Craig
Founding Principal
Welcome to Digital Private School, a vibrant IB Continuum School offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP) from Kindergarten to Grade 12. In addition we offer GED for Grade 11-12 students.
Our journey began in September 2021 with a clear vision and a small but passionate community of 125 students and 14 dedicated teachers. From these humble beginnings, DPS was founded on the belief that education must prepare learners not only for academic success, but for life in an ever-changing, interconnected world.
At DPS, learning is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by the International Baccalaureate philosophy, our student-centred programmes encourage curiosity, ethical responsibility, resilience, and personal challenge. We aim to nurture learners who are confident thinkers, compassionate individuals, and responsible global citizens.
Our approach to teaching and learning is intentional and reflective. IB programmes help students develop essential skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and self-management—skills that are vital for both academic achievement and personal growth. Our teachers work collaboratively through regular planning and reflection, ensuring consistency in practice and a holistic approach to each child’s development.
As an IB Continuum School, DPS works within global contexts, fostering an understanding of languages, cultures, and globally significant ideas and issues. At the same time, we are deeply committed to maintaining our students’ national identity. We proudly uphold the traditional and cultural values of our community, encouraging students to develop international-mindedness while remaining rooted in who they are and where they come from.
Our curriculum is broad, balanced, conceptual, and connected. By exploring significant content across disciplines, students are encouraged to make meaningful connections and apply their learning to real-world contexts.
As the Founding Principal, I am proud of the strong foundations we have built and excited about the future ahead. I invite you to join us on this journey of learning, growth, and purpose, as we continue to inspire young minds to think deeply, act ethically, and contribute positively to the world.
