At the time of its inception, the founders of the Doon International School felt the need to create an educational institution that is truly 'international' in all aspects, an institution that would fulfill the needs of not just resident Indians, but also those residing outside India.
The school believes that the positive aspects of Indian culture, tradition and values must be imbibed in all our children in their formative years.
It was therefore felt that the Doon International School, amongst other areas of focus, should also aim at providing complete, quality education to children of parents who reside in other countries. Several initiatives have since been taken and Doon International School now provides an attractive alternative to school students who opt to undertake their studies here in India.
The school currently has students from several parts of the world including the U.S, Britain, Canada, Thailand, Korea, the Middle East, Nepal etc. This diversity amongst students helps them become aware of different countries, their cultures and inculcates in them a spirit of brotherhood and unity in diversity.
School students benefit immensely from the multi-cultural, multi-racial student body, which contributes immensely to the learning experience at the Doon International School.
Students who choose to study at Doon International School will find that the school offers several advantages, primarily:
- A school campus situated in the picturesque Doon Valley with facilities that compare well with educational institutions in the rest of the world.
- Curricula based on the guidelines provided by India's most reputed and the universally accepted Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi.
