CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
If education is the most powerful weapon to change the
world, then value based education is the most powerful
tool to change man who ultimately rules the world.
It has been rightly stated by Martin Luther King Jr. -
Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true
education.
We established Doon International School Dehradun with the motive of spreading the luminous light of knowledge twenty five years ago. Today this flourishing tree, which has branched out to several parts of the country continues to foster our dream of providing value based education to children and to fulfill our moral obligation to the society to create citizens who are not only well informed and well groomed but also fully prepared to use their knowledge and skills for the welfare and progress of the society and nation.
Nothing is more important than the choice of the right school for your child and this Prospectus provides you with a glimpse of what our school has to offer. We believe that Doon International School offers an educational experience like no other to our children and will give them the qualifications and confidence they will need to play a leading role in tomorrows society. We constantly endeavour to provide our students with a learning environment in which they have numerous opportunities to excel and also distinguish themselves in academics and a range of co-curricular and extra curricular activities.
Come, let us hold hands so that we create opportunities and provide an environment for children to learn in the best possible manner, help them become emotionally strong, acquire skills, develop a passion and penchant for excellence in any area of their calling; so that tomorrow they stand tall, with confidence to be seen and heard, and be counted amongst those who can confidently state, Yes, I can

DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
Doon International School DIS has always strived to diversify and reshape the path of education according to our everchanging world. Our commitment to education recognizes the necessity for thinking and acting from insular to universal. What is the true purpose of education What is the common goal for parents and us as educators Is it the style of building they enter or the substance of the learning provided that makes the key impact on the child Parents making this important decision need to look inside the classroom for evidence of quality education for their child. A child is a true recreation of influences of the home and the learning environment; teachers play a key role, as do parents. The world today is more competitive than ever, bringing unpredictable challenges and new situations. Parents have a strong sense of responsibility in choosing a school to help prepare their child for the unknown future. The evolving world dynamics have sought and forced changes upon us; thus at Doon International, we hold precedence over the content and quality of teaching above all.
The responsibility of school weighs more today as it is the only institution where children spend the most impressionable years of their lives. We, at DIS, realize this onerous responsibility and are fully geared in terms of a comprehensive curriculum and effective pedagogy; updated technology and state of the art infrastructure; vibrant community-school interface and continuous international exposure to deliver the same. The diversity of options in our curriculum is complemented by a plethora of activities outside the classroom. Every student finds abundant opportunities to participate in and contribute to a variety of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Our in-house curriculum includes Life Skills, knowing to develop abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour, that enable our students to deal effectively with the demand and challenges of changing life. Our students activity clubs develop and hone diverse interests and skills.
A plethora of sports activities prepare our students to use failures as stepping stones to success and academics remain the backbone under able and continuously trained faculty. Furthermore, DIS acknowledges our human obligation to cultivate a new generation that will take care of the environmental, social and economic challenges ahead. Linked with our commitment to global education is the vision to promote the inner moral compass of our students, this balance will enable them to steer their way through human complexities, enabling them to exhibit goodness, honesty and compassion with confidence. After all, it is the learning at school that will impact and transform their future. Although the world has been scarred by greed and selfishness but at Doon International, we are seeking out a forgotten age of innocence because we are dealing with young minds. We are filled with hope that the coming years will bring about a change in attitude and we shall fulfill our responsibility of carrying into each home the message of cheer and culture, of freedom and prosperity, of life and light. With clear vision and steady steps, we shall march forward.
We invite you to share the joy and success in nurturing the future of this universe.
