Delhi Public School Vasant Vihar is one of the primary school of DPS R. K. Puram. It was started in April 1983. Classes from Nursery to V are held in this school. The school is located in Vasant Vihar (South Delhi), a kilometer away from its senior branch at R . K. Puram. The Nursery Wing of the school is housed in the back lane in a separate building close to the Junior school. We are a family of approximately 1550 students and a staff of about 100 teachers.After a year of careful nurturing in the Nursery Wing, the infants take pride in graduating to the Junior School (Prep to Class V ). Then comes the ultimate thrill of moving to the Senior School, when the students with well groomed personalities move on to class VI at DPS, R. K. Puram.

Our school is based on a specific design & plan which is student friendly. It has exteriors in red brick which gives a sense of simplicity, sense of comfort and well-being and makes us feel connected to our environment in beautiful colors that spring from nature itself: earthy browns so well set in the lap of green lawns. There are three main blocks – A, B and C. Six sections per class are assigned in these specific blocks and floors. There are three open air domes where yoga, dance & painting classes are held. These open domes also serve as galleries for our students during matches, sports days, cultural celebrations or any other open air events. The school has manicured green lawns and flowers in all colours complimenting the little flowers i.e. our children. This slide show gives you a feel of our school which we are so proud of.

“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” Plato

“Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold.” Joseph Chilton Pearce

Understanding the essence of the quotes by Plato & Pearce, sports is definitely a very important component in our curriculum. It is vital for any age group, however, it is more so for our little ones. In their growing up years, it teaches them to be a part of a team, the importance of working together to accomplish a common goal, learning to shoulder personal responsibility and above all how to cope with defeat and failure. It teaches them to remain focused on a task for the period of time, assess their weaknesses and go beyond their limits. Children learn to respect – respect the rules of the game, respect the cues from their coach and also respect as well as accept suggestions from their teammates.

In keeping with the DPS R. K. Puram tradition of achieving excellence in sports, we at DPS Vasant Vihar provide ample opportunities to the child to explore and choose the sport he or she wishes to pursue. The sports facilities include a covered basketball court, a cricket training pitch, football field, running tracks, skating rink, table tennis etc. Besides our regular staff we also have visiting instructors and coaches, who are experts in their area of sport to train our kids for matches within the school and also compete in inter school matches. Regular exercise, drill, training in march past & aerobics is an important feature in their time table. Here is a glimpse into our facilities and how at Delhi Public School Vasant Vihar we nurture our sport stars.
