Delhi Public School , Haridwar About Us

To keep the wheels of progress turning, a progressive and vibrant nation's educational institutions must keep up with changing times and cater to the needs of modern society. One such ever-evolving, premier co-educational institution in Uttarakhand, which has maintained the tradition of excellent academic results as well as opened new vistas in tune with the 21st century for the holistic development of its students, is DPS Ranipur, Haridwar. With an all-India character, it is an amalgam of the industrial ethos of the great technological giants, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, and the educational giants, Delhi Public School Society. Situated at Ranipur in Hardwar, it is the first ever venture of DPS Society outside Delhi. Spread over an area of 60 acres, nestled in the foothills of the Shivalik Range and the pollution-free atmosphere of Ranipur, with the Holy Ganga flowing in the vicinity, ours is a co-educational, English-medium school affiliated to CBSE. Established in 1977, the school provides quality education to children from Prep-Jr. to Class XII, offering Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams at +2 level. We believe in creating an ambiance for learning where the multi-faceted growth of a child’s personality is possible naturally and smoothly. To cater to the needs of its ever-increasing number of students (presently, around 5300), the school has been adding to its existing infrastructure. With the functioning of the new Middle Wing of the school in July 2006, the school is proud to have 3 well-stocked libraries; separate fully equipped science laboratories in the Junior, Middle, and Senior Wings; and 3 modern computer labs. The school has a cutting-edge language lab with e-learning capabilities that is unique in the surrounding area. Two extremely spacious Activity Halls in the Pre-Primary and the Middle Wing, and a Skating Rink in the Middle Wing, are the star attractions of the school. A new stable for 10 horses and dormitories (for 10 people) for the horse trainers and security guards have been constructed. The school has introduced several activities and competitions in the Activity Clubs, keeping in mind the career options of tomorrow. English-anchoring, English/Hindi news reading, MATHEMATICS ONLINE QUIZ, and computer ad designing are just a few to name. Well-maintained playgrounds, courts for various games, 12 activity clubs (including horse riding), two beautiful art rooms, and three music rooms reflect the ambitions of the school in the fields of sports and extra-curricular activities. The school is abuzz with activities even during the summer holidays and coaching camps are organised in several sports like athletics, basketball, Badminton, hockey, cricket, football, Tai-Kwon-do, horse riding, and yoga camps for parents. The chief attraction is the coaching in swimming for the tiny tots in the Splash Pool of the Pre-Primary wing. Adventure camps organised in the winter are also a unique feature of the school. Inculcating healthy social and moral values, qualities of head and heart, and sensitising students to the needs of society and the environment hold paramount importance in the life of DPS Ranipur. In April 2003, the school organised a "River-Yatra" to educate the public about the devastation caused by pollution to our rivers. Our students actively participate in programmes related to Aids and pulse polio. We inculcate the mantra of "Caring and Sharing" and students generously lend their helping hands—be it for Helpage India, earthquakes, or floods. DPS Ranipur is the only school to have adopted the practise of e-result and declared school results since the 2005 session on its website, www.dpshardwar.com. Through the Internet, the students, parents, and principal can directly communicate with each other. Information related to any school activity can be accessed with the click of a mouse from the school website. Our school publishes an e-magazine every month. Online contributions can be received from students, teachers, parents, and alumni. We don’t waste paper and do not use the printer. This comes in a carbon-free and eco-friendly form. Parents of senior students are sent to attend every day in the early hours within 15 minutes of the actual arrival time using SMS services. Weekly tests, monthly tests, and term test reports are sent to each parent on his mobile using centralised SMS services. The school uses all high-tech modes and appliances for communication purposes.  With a trained and dedicated faculty, a clearly defined roadmap for the future, the motto ‘Service Before Self’, and a quest for excellence and quality in every aspect of education, DPS Ranipur is poised to take a quantum leap forward and attain enormous success in the years ahead.
