“The strength of the developed world today is in its excellence in academics and the resultant creativity. Pursuit and relentless search for excellence are our objectives, this actually means adherence to high standards set for DPS Schools: trained teachers for uniform skills; detailed planned syllabus; and co-curricular activities with active participation by all students leading to their all round development. With DPS PANVEL we have attempted to build a school that will provide an education that remains after classroom teaching is erased from our minds. Good luck and God bless!”

Principal, DPS Panvel

Urban population in India can be called “Education centric”. As soon as a child is born, parents start discussing about which school they will put their child in, and sometimes it is right from when the child is in the mother’s womb! Given the importance given to Education, private schools in India are trying to match this spirit and provide Education that equips students with 21st century skills. The young ones we are nurturing today will be global citizens in the true sense, connected with each other like never before.

Apart from academics and staying abreast of technological advances, they need to understand global cultures and respect different belief systems. The world is facing tremendous resource pressures, and global warming is a big threat – children need to embrace sustainable ways of living and help create a better world.
