“Service Before Self” — Our Compass in a Changing World
At Delhi Public School, Navi Mumbai, education is not confined to lessons, examinations, or accolades. It is the art of shaping human potential — sculpting intellect, character, and purpose in harmony. Every young learner who steps into our school carries a spark of possibility; our sacred task is to nurture that spark into wisdom, resilience, and compassionate leadership.
We stand today amid a world transforming at unprecedented pace. Artificial Intelligence is transforming the world at breathtaking speed, redefining the way we learn, work, and connect. As educators, we cannot — and must not — shield our children from this change. Instead, we must empower them to embrace technology responsibly, not as passive consumers, but as thoughtful, ethical, and value-driven innovators.
Our vision for every learner at DPS Navi Mumbai is clear:
to become future-ready thinkers who pair technological fluency with humane wisdom; citizens who blend intelligence with empathy, ambition with integrity, and progress with purpose.
“Technology can build the future; values ensure it is worth living in.”
Even as we embrace the future, we remain anchored in timeless values.
At DPS Navi Mumbai, learning is not measured solely in achievements — but in empathy, humility, responsibility, and grace. We cultivate discipline and kindness, confidence and courtesy, ambition and ethics — knowing that true education builds the mind and the moral compass.
Soft skills — communication, collaboration, emotional strength, adaptability, and respectful conduct — lie at the heart of our educational philosophy. They transform knowledge into wisdom, ability into excellence, and success into significance.
We aim to prepare not only accomplished students, but balanced, gracious, globally aware citizens — proud of their heritage, rooted in Indian ethos, and inspired to uplift society.
To support this vision, our campus continues to evolve — technologically advanced learning spaces, upgraded laboratories, expansive sports facilities, innovation hubs, enhanced digital ecosystems, and robust safety architecture. At DPS Navi Mumbai, excellence is not an occasional act; it is a lived culture. We strive to build a campus where learning feels joyful, curiosity is celebrated, respect is instinctive, and service becomes a way of life. Our mission remains steadfast — to guide every learner towards wisdom, dignity, and purposeful achievement.
Our students are not simply preparing for a career — they are preparing for a meaningful life. We aspire to cultivate in them a sense of belonging and stewardship — to their school, their nation, and the global community. They must carry patriotism in their hearts, responsibility in their actions, and compassion in their souls. They are not just learners; they are the future custodians of our world.
“Let us not only prepare students for the world — let us prepare them to improve it.”
With trust in every child’s potential and gratitude for our collaborative school community — students, parents, staff, and alumni — we move ahead with conviction and shared pride.
For it is here, within these walls, that we are preparing not just achievers of today — but architects of tomorrow.
Ms. Bharati Mathur, Vice-Principal
We live in a world that is so very different from the one we grew up in and the one we were educated in. The world today is changing at such an accelerated rate that we, as educators, need to pause and reflect on the entire system. Are our schools well equipped to prepare our children to face the challenges that the future holds? Are we doing well enough to create not just ‘job-seekers’ but ‘job-creators’? Questions such as these are what motivate us to go through a continuous process of reflection to ensure that the children who walk into the portals of the Primary and Middle Wings will not just love their school years but be truly prepared to face life’s challenges.
It was Margaret Mead who said that children must be taught how to think and not what to think. The Primary Wing functions along this principle. Our mission is to instil in our students independence of thought, integrity and values. All our activities and enterprises are designed to give our students the best platforms for both intellectual and emotional growth.
A well-polished set of soft skills play a very important role in the success of an individual. For ages, educators have had their undivided attention to the honing of occupational skills. But, we live in unprecedented times making it necessary to devise action plans and goals that cater to the needs of the learners of the 21st century. In the Middle Wing, besides rigorous scholastic programmes, we seek to develop and nurture the different facets of a child. We encourage all students to participate in a host of curricular and co-curricular activities-from art, dance, drama and public speaking to a variety of sports and games.
Ms. Madhurima Suresh Kashyap, Vice-Principal Foundational Wing
