We are committed to help you achieve those dreams & goals through focused world-class education, and a nurturing environment for the same.

Campus & Facilities

We are extremely particular about the health & safety of our students, parents and staff. Once schools are allowed to re-open physically, we will be maintaining strict social distancing norms, sanitising our campus. We may have to call our students on odd and even days, keeping in mind COVID-19.

Dhole Patil School for Excellence is the only school in Kharadi, Pune that is spread out on a 15-acre campus. Our campus is safe and secure with CCTV surveillance. We are proud to be pollution-free with clean air and lots of greenery.

We have developed our campus as a “green campus”, with more than 2000 trees and plants, including many with medicinal properties. Due to the greenery on campus, we have many birds that can be spotted as well. Alongside this amazing ecosystem that is developing, we also nurture education about environment and sustenance in our students.

Some of our outstanding facilities are as below:

Life at DPSE is not just about being in school and learning. Our philosophy is to impart education in the most fun, hands-on way and to create an environment that is supportive and nurtures learning.

We have a variety of “clubs” that are led by our teachers which help students develop interest in varied subjects through the peers and teachers.

Some of our school clubs include:

Eco Club

A group of students interested in environmental issues and willing to make a significant contribution to society. In the Eco-Club, we explore various themes related to the environment, understand concepts and challenges, and discuss appropriate actions to conserve. The club also works towards sensitising their peers, school authorities, parents and community about environmental problems and the solution.

Heritage Club

Education about the Indian and local heritage is an important issue. One that can be easily forgotten in our day-to-day lives. The Heritage Club engages in helping students learn more about the Indian heritage, dying forms of art through museum visits & outreach programmes. We also have trained museum guides come and spend time with the students and talk on various topics.

Language Club

For students who show an interest in languages, we help them develop their language & vocabulary. As a group, we prepare a word of the day, idioms for the week, read short stories, and give presentations.The club is involved in discussions on plot and characterization, writing short stories and poetry, organizing debates, book reviews as well as writing and editing the school newsletter.

Art Club

Honing the skills of our students who are keen to study visual art, we help them with understanding the basics of drawing and painting. We hold special classes inviting artists that can come and discuss their techniques and styles. The students are exposed to various forms of modern and traditional art. The Art Club also organises art exhibitions and promotes the importance of art within the community.
