Live walkthrough
A 35-year tradition

Eight rooms in 1990.
Eighty beds today.

In 1990, the hostel block went up behind the main school building. Eight rooms then. Eighty beds today. Thirty-five years of girls who walked in at thirteen and walked out at eighteen as the women their families hoped they would become. The school you trust. The home you can rely on.

A 139-year tradition

The values that raised her
were not invented yesterday.

Every DAV institution — from the first school opened in Lahore in 1886 to the hostel block your daughter will live in — carries forward the work of one man.

Mahatma Hansraj built the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic movement on a simple idea: that an Indian education must be modern, rigorous, and rooted in values at the same time. English fluency without losing Sanskrit. Science without losing dharma. Ambition without losing humility.

Our hostel watches over its girls in this tradition. The DAV crest you see at the entrance is the same crest that has stood at the head of every DAV institution for 139 years. The values do not change. The discipline does not soften. The care does not dilute.
