Brief History of Our School

Delhi Public School, Mathura Road established in 1949, functioned from a few tents pitched on the ground cleared from the onslaught of brambles. Today, spread over an area of about 15 acres of lush, green lawns, in the heart of the city, Delhi Public School is a co-educational day-cum-boarding school.

It was known as New Delhi Church High School before 1947. Renamed Naveen Bharat High School after Independence, the school was restructured as Delhi Public School Society in 1949. The DPS Society was founded in 1949 to enable Rev. J.D. Tytler to secure a new land for the school. The first DPS was opened on Mathura Road. The branch has produced luminaries such as Vinod Khanna, Kabir Bedi, Shriya Saran, Montek Singh Ahluwalia and Salman Khurshid among others.

The foundation stone of the school building was laid in 1956 by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the then Vice President of India. The impressive school building today comprises workshops, laboratories, computer centres, audio-visual lecture rooms, libraries, swimming pools, squash courts, clinic, a book shop and school canteen. The school functions under a registered society with eminent educationists, social workers and medical specialists. Ms. Vrinda Sarup is the Chairperson, Managing Committee, DPS Mathura Road; Shri B.K. Chaturvedi is the Chairman, The Delhi Public School Society and Member-Managing Committee, DPS Mathura Road; and Shri V.K. Shunglu is the Vice Chairman, The Delhi Public School Society and Vice Chairman Managing Committee, DPS Mathura Road. Their selfless work along with that of other members needs no testimony. Delhi Public School offers courses in Humanities, Commerce and Science. It prepares students for the All India Senior School Certificate Examination, conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education. Keeping in view the ideals of democracy and our ancient culture, Delhi Public School strives to provide a system of education most suited to the needs of our society today. Stress on diverse methods of teaching for different categories of students, opportunities for shouldering responsibilities in school life, constant participation in games and sports, and a wide range of cultural and co-curricular activities lend meaning to our school life. Thus, the end product is the harmonious, all round developed personality of our students. It is the aim of Delhi Public School to provide the best possible education to its students. Our primary aim is to develop in the student qualities of integrity, honesty, trust, tolerance and compassion, to promote a spirit of enquiry, to foster a scientific temper within the bonds of humanism, to help the student to become a meaningful part of his environment and to know that courage and industry have their due reward. Towards this end, the school endeavours to provide a large and dedicated teaching staff with a wide range of skills and interests, a varied and wide choice of activities- academic, aesthetic and athletic, an environment enriched with the excitement of discovery, challenge and competitiveness and discipline based on the belief that responsibility comes before freedom.

Principal’s Message

"The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth." — John F. Kennedy

Like everything else in this universe, education too, has evolved with the progress of time. It has evolved drastically with several waves of disruptive technologies and ideologies. Consequently, the novel educational profile has the orientation of competency, creativity, skill, proficiency and aptitude. We at DPS Mathura Road foster the advanced profile of education by cultivating inspired and academically curious global citizens by providing them with a conducive, passionate, purposeful and progressive place to study. Apart from acing the Academic Performance Index and Intelligence Quotient, the institution also aims at encouraging and nurturing social and emotional quotients among its scholars.

It goes without saying that ‘Discipline’ is the architect of ‘Success’. Even so, we always pursue to encourage self-discipline in the young minds because that is the only bridge between Dreams and Accomplishments.

DPS Mathura Road is one of those premier institutions where individual and institutional excellence are strived for and encouraged in. Our pupils transpire to achieve exceptional results in both scholastic and co-scholastic arenas. They are up skilled by appreciation and learning from the knowledge and experience of those around them and engaged with current, political, scientific, cultural and academic developments within a safe and open environment. Beyond the classroom, we stimulate the sundry range of hobbies and interests that our students have with an exciting and extensive extra and co-curricular programme of events.

We also encourage students to follow the ideals of Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership and Service promoting compassion and awareness for the cause of society.

Furthermore, we sought for the unceasing and unflinching cooperation and collaboration from the significant part of educational triangle, i.e., parent. Hence, I call upon you to associate so that we can make our children accrue unparalleled accomplishments.

At last but not the least, I would like to express that strength of purpose achieves the impossible. And…

“The highest peak hasn’t been climbed yet, The mightiest rivers aren’t spanned.”

Dr. Ram Singh

PTA Executive

PTA meetings give an opportunity to the parents and teachers to meet and discuss the progress of the children. The PTA has opened a Benevolent Fund to help and educate children who unfortunately lose their earning parent while they are still studying in the school.

This gesture has been greatly appreciated by young widows who would otherwise find it difficult to educate their children in DPS. Women, who unfortunately fall a victim to these circumstances, should apply every year to the Principal and Secretary, PTA for exemption of tuition fee for their children.
