Our Unique Programs
Dasmesh Punjabi School offers a variety of unique programs for students. At our school, we work towards creating a learning environment that enables our students to learn and get immersed in the Punjabi Culture and Language.
We also offer Sikh Studies and music programs. Sikhism has a very deep-rooted and rich history, and hence it is imperative that the coming generations understand the importance, meaning and significance of Sikhism. This is exactly what motivated our founder to start this school, whereby each and every student learns about the Sikh religion and various aspects of the Punjabi Culture.
Every morning, an assembly is held where the students do “Japji Sahib Paath” (The Sikh Daily Prayer). Each student gets the opportunity to do Kirtan and Ardaas. This is followed right from the day a student starts their studies in Kindergarten, till the day they graduate in Grade 12.
Lifestyle and Recreational Opportunities
Abbotsford is a sprawling rural “city in the country,” set against stunning views of BC’s Coast Mountains. Located an hour east of Vancouver, Abbotsford borders Mission to the north, Langley to the west, and Chilliwack to the east.
Activities of interest include Scenic Mill Lake, which attracts young families with its spray park and playgrounds, as well as anglers, joggers and nature lovers. This walkable neighbourhood is home to new condo developments, townhouses and older single-family homes; it’s also located conveniently close to Seven Oaks Mall and Abbotsford Regional Hospital.
Historic Downtown Abbotsford has recently been revitalized while maintaining its heritage. This thriving neighbourhood has a bustling farmer’s market, street festivals and locally-owned shops, including bakeries, delis, restaurants and more. New condo developments have recently gone up in the area to accommodate the increase in interest and commercial growth.
