ABOUT THE SCHOOL
Dehradun Public School, popularly known as DDPS, is a co-educational, private school in Uttar Pradesh, India. Founded in 1983, DDPS is affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and caters to students from Pre-School to Class XII. It is one of the city's largest schools with a student strength of over 9000+ students. DDPS takes pride in the excellent academic as well as outstanding co-cirricular performance of its students year on year.
HISTORY
Dehradun Public School, popularly called DDPS, opened its doors in [Month] 1983 in Ashok Nagar, Ghaziabad with just 10 rooms and a founding cohort of 20 students. Over the years, we have grown into 4 beautiful campuses and are over 9000 students stronger from Pre-school to Class 12.
Through our partite mission of education and public service, we have always kept our institution's doors open for every child without discrimination no matter how hard the challenges. While we are used to the prideful histories of the 'world/global schools' but our story is more profoundly one of resilience in the face of challenges.
Our "education for all" approach flows directly from the ethos and values of our revered founder, Late Shri Jai Prakash Bansal who started DDPS with the aim to provide quality education to all students without any prejudices. Mr. Bansal, while originally belonging to Ghaziabad (U.P.) was a civil engineer by profession and was posted in the city of Dehradun -also known as the "school capital of India". Inspired by the educational culture in the city and with a desire to enter the services space, exploring various diversification opportunities, Mr. Bansal returned to Ghaziabad and set out to create and establish "Dehradun Public School" in Ghaziabad.
VISION
The vision that was initially carved out by one man is collectively shared and felt amongst thousands today. Having said that, we truly believe that DDPS is a living organism that evolves further with each passing year. While nurturing the vision of our founder, everyone at DDPS shares a deep commitment to our five Guiding Principles, which shape all our day to day functioning, decisions and strategies. Our principles are our foundation and remain integral to our continued success.
From a modest beginning in 1983, our school has now grown into a fully integrated institution. Whether you are a prospective student, current student, teacher, staff member, parent, neighbor, or visitor, your interest is valued and appreciated in helping us nurture talent. We are dedicated to provide all students with a safe learning environment and the opportunity to develop into well rounded responsible citizens. We are proud of our inclusive entry policy, which means students of all abilities are welcomed here.
Our objective is to offer a diverse academic curriculum, wide array of extra-curricular activities and to continually strive to enhance our student's strength. Not only did we make tremendous academic strides in past years, but we also achieved significant athletic excellence. Clearly, our people are accepting the challenge to excel in all areas of school life and we plan to keep doing our best in serving the society by nourishing great minds.
