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
