At Defence Careers Academy we practice 'student centered approach', where teaching for understanding is coupled with a stimulating and varied curriculum. To inculcate in our students a passion for learning and achievement, we have various clubs and societies of which they can become members. We believe that all our students are unique individuals, with equal potential to make a positive contribution to the school. Our goal is to instil an enthusiasm for lifelong learning. Students under the guidance of a faculty member run their own clubs and organize activities, depending on their interests. They have the option to choose from G.K. Club, Literary Club, Eco Club, Social Service- Interact Club, Debating Club, Photography Club etc .
