The Doon School

Established 1935

Our 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 fraternities

- for life.”

Our Vision

“Truly, we mean that the boys should leave The

Doon School as members of an

aristocracy, but it must be an aristocracy of

service inspired by the ideals of unselfishness, not one of privilege, wealth or position.”

Arthur E. Foot, Headmaster, speech at the official opening of the school October 27th, 1935
