Doon Global School is a CBSE-affiliated, co-educational day school in Dehradun at the 14th Milestone, Chakrata Road, Jhajra. The school opened in 1998 and has now been teaching for 28 years, taking children from Nursery all the way to Grade XII on a single campus. Day places are available at every one of those stages, so a family that joins in the pre-primary years does not have to look for another school at Class VI or Class XI.

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.

This page answers those in order. The fee schedule is on the day school fee structure page, and the wider curriculum picture under CBSE school in Dehradun.

Academics, stage by stage

What changes as a child moves up the school.

Primary, Nursery to Class V

Activity-based teaching, where reading, number work and language are built through doing rather than copying. The aim at this stage is a child who is comfortable in a classroom and willing to ask questions.

Middle school, Classes VI to VIII

Subject specialists take over and laboratory work begins in earnest. Assessment follows the current CBSE scheme using periodic work, projects and term examinations as scheduled.

Secondary, Classes IX and X

Board preparation in a structured form: mock tests through the year, remedial classes for students who need ground made up and enrichment work for those ready to move faster.

Senior secondary, Classes XI and XII

Four streams - Science with Mathematics, Science with Biology, Commerce and Humanities - are listed by the school. Ask which Olympiad and competitive-examination support is offered for the current session.

A special educator and a counsellor are on the staff, and counselling covers career guidance, academic support, emotional wellbeing and workshops for parents. Sessions are confidential. The full subject-wise picture, including how assessment is handled across the year, is on the academics page.

A day place suits families settled in or around Dehradun who want their child home each evening and are happy to take on homework, meals and downtime themselves. Boarding suits families posted elsewhere, travelling often, or living where a CBSE school of this kind is not within daily reach. Neither is the better choice in the abstract; it depends on the household and, quite often, on the child.

If you are still deciding, the boarding school in Dehradun page sets out the residential side in detail, and the day cum boarding school in Dehradun page explains how the two run together on one campus. A conversation with the admissions office is usually more useful than another hour of reading, so call 9997073777 or 7455997333, or write to admissions@doonglobalschool.edu.in.
