Senior School For Boys1

Getting children into school is one thing, educating them is quite another. The former may be easier but the latter task is quite daunting nowadays. These are sensitive times and maintaining a balance between quality education and character building is no easy feat. We, at DHA Senior School for Boys put in our best to do exactly that. We believe that the role of a school is not only to enable academic excellence, but character building, instilling high moral values, development of wholesome personality and awareness of societal obligations are central to what we offer here.

It is a learning community that seeks success for each student as we strive to deepen our core values of unshakeable faith, belief in hard work, achievements through honest and fair means and facing challenges boldly.

We are committed to identifying unfinished learning and leveraging ingenuity, innovation, and resources to create equitable and equal opportunities for our students.  Additionally, we will continue to endeavor to help every child actualize his potential.

I would like the parents to know that my door is always open to discuss any concerns, questions, or ideas you may have regarding your child’s education. I welcome you all to an outstanding learning community where everyone is dedicated to a high standard of excellence.
