At Home

Esprit de Corps- House Spirit at the Doon School is legendary. In the houses, the boys absorb values like commitment, loyalty sharing and standing by each other in times of crisis.

Boarding Houses

When boys walk through the portals of The Doon School, it takes a while to let go of the apron strings and settle down. The extra care and concern so needed at that stage is ensured by housing the young D formers in two holding houses under the personal care of a Housemaster and his wife. The school has built two new holding houses as part of its thrust on modernisation.

Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kashmir, Oberoi and Tata are the five main houses to which the boys are assigned under the supervision of two Housemasters and a Dame. There are approximately a hundred boys in each house. House spirit at the Doon School is legendary, and here the boys learn and abide by values like commitment, loyalty, sharing and standing by each other in times of crisis.

Tutorial Meeting

Long after they leave, Doscos come back during Founder’s, nostalgically attend an 'At Home' in their former houses, and revive old memories.

Meals are eaten in the Central Dining Hall (CDH) with Masters and Dames supervising breakfast and lunch. Chhota Haazri, a morning snack, is served in the houses before PT. Breakfast, mid-morning snacks, lunch, evening tea and supper are eaten in the CDH with boys taking turns waiting at tables. An experienced catering manager ensures that nourishing, wholesome, and calorific fare fills hungry young stomachs.
