As stated by Rabindranath Tagore, "The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in   harmony with all existence."

 More than a decade back, DAV Public School, Barrackpore pledged to transform education by not only pursuing academic   excellence  but also by motivating and empowering the students to become confident, competent, committed and compassionate   future citizens. As the School imparts education to match the advancement in technology and globalization, we march our children   ahead with ethos of moral values and principles.

 DAV  stands for the amalgamation of traditional Indian values, generating from the Vedic dharma and present-day internationally   acclaimed education system, which projects the farsightedness of our forefathers, who realized the necessity of the perfect blend of   these two parallel as well as equally important education systems.

  Our teachers keep their treasure trove open for their beloved students and take a fancy to allure them for the quest of knowledge.   There is nothing to impose or inflict, as Sri Aurobindo opined, “The first principle of true teaching is that nothing can be taught”. At   DAV our approach to learning is child-centric, encouraging activity-based learning, inculcating scientific temper and a spirit of enquiry.   Guided by CBSE curriculum, we emphasize on the meticulous union of academic and co-curricular activities so as to hone the skills   of every individual and bring about holistic development.

 The visionary management, the system based approach and implementation of the activities, committed and dedicated teaching and non-teaching staff, co-operation of the guardians and our industrious students have made our school a centre of academic excellence in and around Kolkata. As educators, we choose each day to prepare our children for life, groom them to face the challenges of tomorrow and make them competent to bear the responsibilities in all walks of life. I am confident enough that DAVians will make themselves stronger with every passing day, adding a new leaf to the grandeur of the school.
