The Asian School, Vasant Vihar, Dehradun

Introduction To bring together the traditions and ethos of India with modern technology in an environment where every child is an individual. The Asian School is a day boarding school in Dehradun which offers English medium, secular, co-educational education from classes Nursery to XII. The School is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education. There is no better place for a child to appreciate the joys of nature and to become environmentally conscious. The view of the Himalayas from School, abundance of trees, and the chatter of a myriad variety of birds enhance joy of learning. We believe that responding positively to the genuine needs of our students determines our success. School Infrastructure The School is situated on a 16-acre campus, 'Asian Acres' in tranquil and verdant environs. The academic building is an impressive structure designed by a well-known group of architects from New Delhi. The residential area set amidst greenery with students being provided their own recreational area. We have four hostels, 2 for senior boys, 1 for junior boys, and one separate hostel for girls. A housemaster, tutors, and a matron live within the Student House providing round the clock supervision. The students are housed in three separate hostels - one each for junior boys, senior boys, and girls. The hostels are located in a way that the senior boys do not have easy access to the girls hostels. A 25m swimming pool, table tennis, and badminton halls, gymnasium, three larger sports fields, dining hall, activity rooms, and a gymnasium provide activity-based experiences and leisure pursuits for the children in their spare time. Conscious efforts are made to teach the reading habit and develop communication skills. In the middle section (VI to VIII), teachers integrate technology into the learning process. In the senior section (IX to XII) the focus is on achieving "good results" at the board's examination.
