About DPS Society
The Delhi Public School (DPS) Society stands as a beacon of educational excellence, not just in India but across the globe. Founded in 1949 by visionaries including Dr. (Mrs.) H.R. Johnson and S. L. Dhawan, the society was established with a mission to provide quality education to children from all walks of life, irrespective of their socio-economic backgrounds. What began as a single school on Mathura Road, New Delhi, has blossomed into a network of over 200 institutions across India and international campuses in the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Singapore.
Legacy of Excellence: From its 1949 inception to present day, DPS has redefined educational standards through innovative teaching methods and holistic development
Global Footprint: Over 220+ schools across India and international presence spanning four continents.
Values-Driven Education: Commitment to fostering critical thinking, creativity, and character development with the motto “Service Before Self”.

Central to the DPS ethos is its unwavering commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals equipped with the skills, knowledge, and values necessary to thrive in the 21st century. The society has continually evolved in response to changing educational paradigms, embracing digital learning platforms, interactive teaching methodologies, and experiential learning opportunities that keep it at the forefront of educational innovation. Beyond academic rigor, DPS places strong emphasis on character development, instilling values of integrity, empathy, and social responsibility in its students. The impact of this trans formative education extends far beyond campus boundaries, with DPS alumni making significant contributions across diverse fields—from science and arts to business and policy-making.
