The motto of the Doon School Old Boy’s Society is An Aristocracy of Service, borrowed from Arthur Foot's statement at the formal opening of the school on 27 October 1935: "Truly, we mean that the boys should leave the Doon School as members of an aristocracy, but it must be an aristocracy of service inspired by the ideals of unselfishness, not one of privilege, wealth or position.
In honour of Arthur Edward Foot's ideals, a dedicated group of Old Boys of The Doon School joined forces to create a lasting legacy for their first Headmaster, the Arthur Foot Academy. The academy is committed to providing a well-rounded education to the children of Bandarjhud, a small village near Dehradun. As members of the Good Schools Alliance, the academy is committed to nurturing each student's personal and social growth, focusing on service, skill, sport, and study. The school's mission is to prepare students to face the world confidently.
We are excited to announce our transformation of the Library into a vibrant Community Learning Centre equipped with WiFi and digital learning devices. This Centre will form a vital link with the Joy of Learning Studio at My Good School in Dehradun. Each week, teachers, students, and members of the local community will gather for engaging Zoom sessions, discovering the joy of learning together. We invite you to make a difference by supporting the Arthur Foot Academy and contributing to our initiative with the hashtag #JoyOfLearningFund. Your support is invaluable! #JoyOfGiving
