Our new value based education system with ancient pedagogy for future of the country and world focuses on:
The first few years that children spend in school are extremely critical in their development and also influence their attitude towards the school in general and studies in particular. Recognizing this, Doon International School lays great emphasis on providing our younger children with a friendly, warm, and homely environment. The classrooms are well equipped and brightly decorated to exude a feeling of belonging. An Activity Centre and Play Park designed by Education Experts provides areas for leisure and relaxation for the little ones outside their classrooms. The teaching at this level is activity based and modern methods of teaching like play way and role play are extensively used for imparting education.
The junior school is the first step forward for our little ones as they enter Class-I. The basic inputs that the child has been provided at the formative stage are consolidated at this level as the student becomes capable of understanding basic concepts of the various subjects. The classrooms and infrastructure have been carefully selected to ensure that the sense of belonging created in the early years carries on with the child as he moves to the junior school. Various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are introduced at this level and the children are encouraged to explore their creativity and individual talent.
When the child enters Class VI, the school helps him make the transition from a protected environment to one where he develops his individuality and personality. The child is also encouraged to develop his interest in specific subjects as per his aptitude and potential so that in the later years he may specialize in his chosen areas. The subjects are taught by specialist teachers trained specifically for teaching particular subjects. The curriculum includes English, Hindi, Mathematics, Science, Social Sciences, Arts, Music, and a third language such as French, German, Punjabi, Sanskrit, etc.
The Senior School student must prepare for the first major examination of his/her life, at this level the school will strive to provide a scholarly yet stress-free environment to enable the student to achieve the goals and standards. The teachers at this stage would be recognized experts in their field so that the students can be provided every opportunity to excel at their academics. The senior school children also take the first step into adulthood and need adequate guidance and counselling from all concerned, hence the teachers are encouraged to be their friend, philosopher and guide. The school will offer specialized courses of study in class XI and XII in the future so that the students can be prepared for the careers that they wish to pursue later in life. Students are encouraged to set career goals for themselves. In the area of career enhancement, students have opportunities to connect with mentors through our Career Counselling and Life-skills Programmes, run by qualified professional teams.
The House System is designed to embody the values and ethos of the school and is an integral part of our school community. The objective of the house system at TIG is to provide every student with:
The five house names were chosen to promote unity in diversity and secularism in school.

MORALITY & PEACE
FEARLESSNESS & DEVOTION
LEADERSHIP INTEGRITY & SUCCESS
PRECISE & EXTRAORIDNARY
At TIG, we practice 'Student Centered Approach', where teaching for understanding is coupled with a stimulating and varied curriculum. To inculcate in our students a passion for learning and achievement, we have various clubs and societies of which they can become members. We believe that all our students are unique individuals, with equal potential to make a positive contribution to the school. Our goal is to instil an enthusiasm for lifelong learning. Students under the guidance of a faculty member run their own clubs and organize activities, depending on their interests. They have the option to choose from Social service, Eco club, GK & debating club, Entrepreneurship club, Techno and innovator club.
During his or her time with us at School, your wards will make the challenging transition from childhood to adulthood. We understand that entrusting there care and education to us during this period is not done lightly. As a large school, we are able to offer extraordinary advantages in resources and choices, but we are also divided into small groups too, through the three academic Divisions (Lower School, Upper School and Senior School), and the House system. These create interlocking layers of pastoral care which enable every boy and girl, the reserved as well as the extrovert, to find opportunities to lead a confident, fulfilled and enjoyable life at School.
We care your wards. They are precious for us. We have proper regular health check up. Pupils are discouraged from keeping medication in the campus for intermittent self-administration in order to minimize any possibility of misuse by the student or others and missed diagnoses by the School medical staff.
