About Us

The Delhi Public School Society came into being as a non-profit making body. It established its first school in 1949 at Mathura Road, New Delhi. In pursuance of its motto 'Service Before Self', and its commitment to an integrated educational system, the mission of the society was to enhance learning among the Indian youth. School followed school in rapid succession, and today the Society has grown into a family of 124 schools: 7 of them in New Delhi, 96 in other parts of the country and 21 abroad. Each school has developed into a pace-setting autonomous institution, with a well-designed programme of instruction, based on the pursuit and promotion of excellence. While the former, known as the Core schools, have been set up by the Society in New Delhi and its neighbouring states, after having acquired the land and designing the construction, the Satellite or the associated schools are those which have been established across the country in collaboration with certain Public Sector Undertakings. Based on the premise that good education is the high road to both individual and national progress, the Society has proved to be a significant trendsetter, both with and without the educational system. In the light of these successes, the Society also received requests to set up similar schools abroad, and make them part of the larger structure. This has led to the establishment of 21 schools in foreign lands like - Kuwait, Sharjah, USA, Nepal, and many others.
