This opportunity will act as a necessary launchpad for young buds who are keen to showcase their talent at national & international level. Doon International School, Amritsar is guided by four principles- groom future leaders, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence and long term thinking. These principles are the driving force behind all the activities that we conduct. In order to achieve them, this initiative towards bringing MS Dhoni Academy in Amritsar speaks for itself. It roars about the efforts that Doon International School, Amritsar puts in time and again to impart quality education and promote sports and extra- curricular activities for holistic development of the students . It evidently proves yet another time that why DIS is DIS. Not to forget that it is for the first time in Punjab that the Iconic Cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Cricket Academy is launching in Amritsar. Mr. Naval Sharma, Chairman Doon International School, said that all the coaches will come directly from MS Dhoni Academy and that Mr. M.S. Dhoni himself will invest his quality time in interacting with our students in order to train them personally by paying regular visits to our school. He proudly added that DIS is setting new benchmarks in reinventing education in the country. Sports are vital for comprehensive personality development of the students. The spirit of sportsmanship, team work, learning from failure and accepting victory humbly are just few of the many qualities that sports instil in a child. Being tough and sturdy is a by product of sporting. Recognising this fact aptly, we have prioritised few disciplines -Tennis, Equestrian, Soccer, Cricket and Basket ball. We already have Leapstart – a quality Sports and Fitness program- which is internationally recognised. Yes, US Department of Education recognises it as an ‘Exemplary Program’. Thus this tie-up is nothing less than another gem in the crown of DIS. Needless to say, the benefit our students will accrue from it is immeasurable. Being trained by professionals and being in touch with the coaches who have had a hand in creating many other international players is a guarantee card for the success of your child in the field of cricket. Hence, along with being exemplary in providing pre-eminent education, we are leading in creating international players by furnishing our students with everything par excellence. This is definitely a great news for all the parents who see a future Dhoni in their child and for all the students who have calibre in the field of cricket. The path of our students going on a journey of being cricketers of international repute has clearly become easy because they are under the expert guidance now. We are happy about our achievements so far and are all geared up to perform even better every single day. This link up is a gratifying moment for all of us at DIS who work hard so that we can deliver unparalleled facilities to our students. We are excited about the association and at the same time, wide with the vision to become Best Indian Power Brand in the educational Industry.
