The Doon School is an independent school in India, spread across 70 acres (280,000 m2) in Dehradun in the state of Uttarakhand. Established in 1935, it was founded by Satish Ranjan Das. Its first Headmaster was Arthur E. Foot, a former science master at Eton College. The School is relatively small: it currently has 480 students, graduating classes number about 80, and the total number of alumni who have graduated, since the School was founded, is estimated at 5,000. There are 67 teachers in total, of which 15 are women, and the teacher:student ratio is about 1:8. The School offers 120 scholarships, including partial and full financial support, and approximately 25% of the students benefit from financial aid. Doon is a boys-only school; the only girls who have studied there have been the daughters of schoolmasters. The goal of the school is to provide young Indians with a liberal education, and to instill in them a respect for the ideals of secularism, discipline and equality.
