Doon Global School is a CBSE-affiliated, co-educational boarding school in Dehradun, located at the 14th Milestone, Chakrata Road, Jhajra. The school was founded in 1998 and has spent 28 years teaching children from Nursery to Grade XII. Residential places are offered from Grade 3 upwards, so a child can move into the hostel when the family judges the time is right and then continue on the same campus right through to the Class XII board examinations.

The campus covers 26,510 square metres and holds 32 classrooms, seven laboratories including computer labs, and internet connectivity. The May 2026 CBSE disclosure lists 44 teachers, comprising 17 PGT, 16 TGT and 11 PRT, plus one special educator and one counsellor/wellness teacher. It lists Principal Cdr Monika Pande's qualifications as MSc, BEd.

Families consider boarding for different reasons. Some parents are posted outside Uttarakhand or travel frequently for work. Some live in towns where a CBSE school of this standard is not within daily reach. Others simply want their child in an environment where study, sport and rest follow a predictable pattern instead of being negotiated every evening. If you are still drawing up a shortlist, our guide to the best boarding schools in Dehradun sets out what to compare, and the boarding school fees page gives the full term-wise costs.

Residential care from Grade 3

Published school information lists boarding from Grade 3 to Grade XII for boys and girls. Families should confirm current room allocation, staff coverage, supervision and age-group routines before enrolling.

Safety arrangements families can inspect

The school publishes its fire, building, and water and sanitation certificates. Residential families should also ask to see the current entry, CCTV, medical and child-protection arrangements during a campus visit.

Sports and coaching

Published school materials list cricket, football, basketball and athletics. Confirm current facilities, coach qualifications, selection arrangements and practice timetables for the relevant age group.

Activities, clubs, NCC and NSS

Published school materials list music, dance, art and craft, debate and Model United Nations, science club, robotics, photography, theatre, NCC and NSS. Ask which activities, eligibility rules and schedules apply to the current session.

Structured study time

Ask to see the current residential prep timetable, who supervises each age group and when subject help is available.

Hostel and residential life

Families should meet the current residential team and ask who is on duty, how staff coverage changes by age group, how homesickness or welfare concerns are recorded and when parents are contacted.

The published timetable lists a six-day academic week, Monday to Saturday, with summer hours of 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM and winter hours of 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Confirm the current session timetable, prep supervision and subject-support arrangements.

Ask who provides first response during boarding hours, how medicines and incidents are recorded, how parents are contacted and which emergency-referral process currently applies. Also request the current child-protection reporting and escalation route.

Day-to-day matters such as the routine a boarder follows, dining and laundry arrangements, what a child should bring and how families stay in touch differ by age group and are reviewed each year, so they are better discussed directly than read off a web page. The admissions office will take you through them on a call or during a visit, and you are welcome to walk through the campus and facilities before you decide.

  • Published safe drinking water and sanitary-condition certificate
