History & Growth
A Journey of Knowledge, Culture & Community Since 1994
From six children in a single classroom to over 184 students and 60 faculty — the story of DAV Sanskriti School is one of devotion, volunteerism, and an unwavering commitment to Vedic values.
How It All Began
DAV Sanskriti School opened its doors in Spring 1994 as Dayanand Arya Vedic School — named after the great Swami Dayanand Saraswati and the illustrious Vedic Sanskriti (culture) of Aryavarta. It was initiated by Acharya Praveen (Gulati) ji with the blessings of Shri Ram Chand Mahajan ji, at the old Arya Samaj Building of The Mehtas at Hwy 6N.
The first class comprised of only six children. Acharya ji began teaching Hindi and Naitik Shiksha to a combined group of children of different ages, with sports activities by Kusum Vyas ji. A Music class by Kamala Mahendru ji was added soon thereafter.
Our Journey Through the Years
From Saturday classes in a single room to a full-fledged school with Sunday sessions, competitions, and a thriving community of teachers and students.
Programs & Activities Added Over the Years
Alongside curriculum updates, a rich array of activities has been added to make DAVSS programs more engaging and meaningful for our youth.
Grateful to All Who Made This Possible
"We are indebted to all of our past & present Teachers and Volunteers who have aided DAVSS's growth."
