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.
