It was in 1953 when Mr. J. J Sookias and his wife Mrs. M. Sookias started this school in Dehradun and called it, ‘The Doon Cultural Centre’.
With just a handful of students to start with, the school rapidly grew in strength and skills, and came to be recognized among the best in the valley; a school where a multi-faceted education was being imparted to the young entrusted to its care.
An evening club was also started and the success of this enterprise lay in the large number of students who joined this club. There were many students from neighbouring schools too, who availed of the facility of the school grounds to hone their skills in various sports and cultural activities.
The school, thus assumed significance as a full-day school. Many doonites, even today, nostalgically and proudly recall fond memories of their association with this great institution. This rich legacy of the past was made even richer under the banner of The Heritage School.The Parent School at New Road has been an alma mater to many students who are now residing all over the world, carrying with them fond memories and the invaluable teachings of this outstanding organization.
In April 2019, a new branch of this School was started on a sprawling campus at Sahastradhara Road. Named, The Heritage School, North Campus, the school enjoys complete support of the parent school, and yet, it retains its new dreams and aspirations.
The future holds exciting challenges for the students of North Campus. Our learning environment plays a vital role in ensuring that our students are equipped with the right mix of personal values clubbed with effective learning skills suited for citizens of the 21st Century.
