Mission

“To attract and develop exceptional boys and teachers from all backgrounds to serve a meritocratic India; inspire them to be just and ethical citizens; train them to be wise and principled leaders; and prepare them to enter one of the strongest alumni fraternities – for life.”

Vision

“India’s top school joining the ranks of the world’s great schools.”

The Doon School aims to attract and develop exceptional boys who are open-minded, knowledgeable, and creative, critical thinkers. They learn to express themselves in a variety of ways and grow their capacity for collaborative work in the classrooms and beyond. The school seeks to develop principled, reflective, and balanced risk-takers who know the difference between activity and action, and can step forward when needed. Students at Doon are expected to pursue genuine intellectual achievement while developing the leadership and entrepreneurial skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

We believe that leadership skills can be taught and decision making skills can be developed. In preparing our students to enter a fast-changing and complex world, we take every opportunity to use experiences inside and outside the classroom to explore the art of gaining trust through authentic action, collaborating to bring about growth in social capital and positively impacting others.
