We strive towards excellence with an earnest desire to continually improve, learn and grow.
Integrity, honesty and responsibility serve as a guiding light in challenging situations.
India is a melting pot of cultures, customs and traditions — our school environment reflects this belief.
We are constantly learning and evolving to facilitate an excellent education for our students.
Students are encouraged to be mindful about the world — creativity, peace, human rights, sustainability.
"The spirit of the Knowledge Society is the spirit of Pluralism – a readiness to accept the other, indeed, to learn from each other, to see differences as an opportunity rather than a threat."
At the Diamond Jubilee High School, we have embraced these differences and celebrate them in every aspect of our school life. Our students see magic in the everyday and enjoy the gifts of curiosity and laughter. Welcome to the Diamond Jubilee High School, Mumbai!
The school has completed more than a decade of securing excellent academic results, especially in the ICSE examinations. Holistic development is not possible without blending 21st Century skills — critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration and leadership, verbal and non-verbal communication, creativity and innovation, cultural and global awareness, citizenship, character education and compassion for fellow people and the environment.
Co-curricular activities form an integral part of our teaching and learning process. DJHSM has a strong award-winning teaching faculty with an average experience of more than 10 years. We have a strong student support system of trained Counsellors and Special Educators who work on the Social-Emotional Learning and Development of our children.
Our children are encouraged to be their authentic selves and shine like diamonds. They are nurtured to embrace this beautiful world with all its complexities.
The Student Council was established to provide students with the voice and choice to create a mindset of self-direction and a powerful student-centric movement. Members hone intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, learning about the ethics of fair governance and the essence of democracy.
Key skills developed include reflection, responsibility for oneself and others, teamwork, valuing multiple perspectives, and leadership.
The Student Council consists of a Primary Student Council (Grade IV) and Secondary Student Council (Grades IX and X) with 14 and 28 members respectively — democratically elected based on integrity, leadership, and academic consistency.
DJHSM apportions pupils into smaller groups known as houses, creating smaller communities within the wider school community. Every student from Grade 1 onwards is assigned to one of the houses and remains in the same house throughout their school life.

The house with the most points wins the coveted 'Diamond House' trophy for the academic year. Each house is led by a House Captain (student) and a House Master (teacher).
At DJHSM we firmly believe that parents play a pivotal role in the functioning of a school and the overall development of their children. Parents of all sections are offered a variety of opportunities to participate in various activities of the school. They are also invited as resource persons to interact with students and other parents.
Parents are encouraged to volunteer their time and support the school to facilitate their child's overall development. Parent attendance on Open Days and Parent Teacher Meetings (PTMs) is compulsory.
PTA-EC elections are conducted at the beginning of each academic year, encouraging an on-going partnership between parents to ensure smooth functioning and to support the community.
DJHSM's alumni have forayed into diverse professions and have kept the school flag flying high. Each year, alumni of different cohorts volunteer to host the Back to School reunion event — everyone is invited to relive, recall and revive the best times of their lives.
The school encourages its alumni to stay connected through the Alumni Coordinator and participate in school activities throughout the year.
The school has taken a major step towards enhancing experiential learning with the inauguration of a state-of-the-art STEM and virtual reality lab on 14 October 2025.
