DRS International School
In 2007, Pushpa Valli joined DRS International, one of the oldest IB schools, as Centre Head. She wanted to understand how the principles she had explored in camps and the children's club could be incorporated into a mainstream school curriculum.
Most importantly, she gained a clear understanding of how global education frameworks are structured, and where the integration of brain-compatible learning methods was both possible and needed.
Her work introduced her to internationally recognised curriculum frameworks, particularly the IB Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes. It gave her a closer view of how a school connects its educational aims with classroom learning and the work expected of teachers.
She led academic administration, guided teachers in meeting IB requirements, and managed parent and student relations.
