About the school

Located in the very heart of New Delhi — an ultra-modern campus built for new-generation learners, and a motto that has not changed since the beginning.

Introduction

A school that represents the transformation of education globally.

The school is located in the very heart of New Delhi, Safdarjung Enclave. A vibrant, tech-savvy school with an ultra-modern campus, it caters to the needs of new-generation learners. Beautifully designed classrooms, state-of-the-art infrastructure and a child-friendly atmosphere provide a safe and stimulating environment to young learners.

Driven by the latest research, the school uses an innovative teaching methodology, with special emphasis on extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, sports and communication skills. Values form an intrinsic part of the curriculum.

Familiarised with our rich and varied heritage, students are encouraged to value traditions and learn to do the right thing, exhibiting socially responsible behaviour. This is represented in our logo — Humanity First.

Vision & mission

We believe in the inherent goodness in every individual. Our endeavour is to encourage our students to be compassionate, value traditions, learn to do the right thing, appreciate and respect diversity and exhibit socially responsible behaviour. This is represented in our motto, “Humanity First”. We believe in transforming our young minds into future thought leaders who are ready to take their place under the sun.

The crest

The logo comprises the rising sun, with each ray giving out light and warmth to the world. Likewise, the school endeavours to spread the light of knowledge and the joy of learning all around by inculcating the feeling of universal togetherness. Just like the rising sun, we believe our students will be agents of change, illuminating the road less travelled.

What the school stands for

Four things we will not trade away.

Written as the school describes itself — and visible in the rooms these photographs were taken in.

Values before marks

“Humanity First” is the school motto and the logo itself — a rising sun whose every ray gives out light and warmth. Compassion, respect for tradition and socially responsible behaviour are taught as curriculum, not assembly announcements.

Learning by doing

State-of-the-art labs for Physics, Chemistry, Life Sciences, Environmental Science, Mathematics and Home Science, plus an ATL Tinkering Lab and robotics. Students are taught to question, explore, hypothesise and test.

A campus built for children

Beautifully designed classrooms, a Teaching Learning Centre for individual needs, a Reflection Room for socio-emotional wellbeing, and a medical room with emergency cover from Max Hospital, Saket.

Every child, found

Enrichment programmes in Science and Mathematics for high-aptitude students, run with the National Science Centre and an IIT/INSEAD-trained mentor — alongside music, dance, theatre and the nine sports the school plays.

Leadership

The people who set the tone.

Chairman

Mr. Raj Singh Gehlot

Every child has the inherent capability to succeed; all they need is the right atmosphere.

A chartered accountant by profession and chairman of the Ambience group of companies, his dream is to establish a world-class institution that provides a safe and stimulating environment where children are nurtured with love and care. The school is the realisation of a long-cherished dream of his late father, Shri Nihal Singh, a visionary educator. He believes education must be meaningful and relevant, and must equip a child with the life skills required to become a valuable member of society.

Co-Chairperson & Manager

Mrs. Sheela Gehlot

Children learn best by doing.

Charming and dignified, Mrs. Gehlot encourages experiential learning and believes every individual should strive to become the best they can be. Beyond literacy and numeracy, she holds that children must learn respect for self and others, problem solving, conflict management and aesthetics. She feels closest to the Pre-Primary wing and is always looking for new ways to make learning joyful.

Principal

Mrs. Himani Asija

The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child must be given the wish to learn.

M.Sc. (Mathematics), M.Ed. Twenty-four years of teaching Mathematics, including nineteen at Delhi Public School Vasant Kunj and two leading DPS Karnal as Vice Principal cum officiating Principal.

Vice Principal

Dr. Aditi Mukul Gehlot

Education is not confined to the pages of textbooks — it is a living journey of discovery, transformation and purpose.

Guided by the school’s motto, she works to nurture learners who rise not only in knowledge but in kindness, integrity and compassion. She holds that true success is measured not by marks alone but by character that stands firm in humility, courage that embraces challenge, and empathy that reaches out.

Vice Principal

Ms. Sangita Chadha

Headmistress

Mrs. Geeta Choudhary

Every child is gifted; it is our responsibility to discover and nurture that gift.

More than three decades of teaching. A recipient of the Delhi Best Teacher award. She believes no child should be defined by their weaknesses, and that values are taught most effectively by living them — demonstrating honesty, respect, empathy, discipline and integrity every day.
