General Information

The basic purpose of education is to realize the potential in the children. Every child is endowed with creative abilities and it is the responsibility of educational institutions to bring out the talents of the children- to provide opportunities and environment that make them successful human beings.

The Indian Public School, Mrityunjaya Dham residential campus was started in 2001 and spread over an area of 120 acres, the entire school campus has patches of green and parklands. Tucked amidst the Himalayas (to its north) and the Shivalik ranges (to the south) the school provides a natural playground for children, keeping them in the lap of Mother Nature. In fact, the school campus has been planned in such a manner that only 20% of the total area will be concrete structures while the rest of the campus will be a harmonious blend of green patches, parklands and water-bodies.

The campus enthralls a person immediately on entry by soothing ambience of nature along with open spaces - providing not only healthy, clean, pollution free surroundings, but also the ideal environment for a healthy and sensitive growth of young impressionable minds. It also provides a perfect setting for their moral, emotional, aesthetic and spiritual development and a balanced growth of their character and personality, which educationists have always believed to be an impact of close communication with nature.

Our education system integrates the most relevant and meaningful features of the ancient Gurukula with the best of the scientifically designed modern systems enlivened by psychological and educational research. Living in perfect harmony with nature, both teachers and students in the school have ample opportunities to imbibe service-mindedness and inculcate ethical principles.

It is our hope that the products of IPS,Dehradun will be courageous citizens of the world, experts in their chosen fields spreading the aura of human values to make the world a better place to live in.
