Boys pursue these hobbies with passion and spend much of their free time in the Art and Music Schools that are housed separately. Our art exhibitions and music concerts elicit an excellent response, which is a reward in itself, for talented boys and dedicated teachers.

Painting, wood and stone sculpting, pottery, batik, screen-printing and hand-block printing are some of the arts the boys learn. The various sculptures that adorn the beautiful campus of Chandbagh are a testimony to their creativity.
In its continual efforts to upgrade existing facilities and provide new ones, The Doon School undertook the task of building a new Art School in July 2008.
