Welcome to Dasmesh Punjabi School
Why You’ll Love It Here
At Dasmesh Punjabi School, we work towards creating a learning environment that enables our students to learn and immerse in the Punjabi culture. Our students begin their Punjabi education in Kindergarten. By Grade 10, they are fluent enough to write the Grade 12 Punjabi exam.
We prioritize safety, strong values and healthy lifestyles, creating a space where students thrive academically and personally.
Our school is committed to providing high-quality education for our students. With a low teacher-to-student ratio, students receive personalized support to excel in their learning.
What We Value
Mission: Creating a safe and healthy environment for quality education and heritage preservation.
Core Values: Respect, Responsibility, Courage, Service, Empathy, and Integrity.
We are a Sikh faith-based school that works closely with other faith-based private schools. Our staff, faculty and students work together to cultivate a lifestyle and perspective grounded in our core values and beliefs.
What Makes Us Unique
At Dasmesh Punjabi School, students engage in a range of programs that immerse them in Punjabi language and culture. We also offer Sikh Studies and music programs, celebrating the rich history and traditions of Sikhism. Our founder created the school to ensure every student develops a deep understanding of Sikh values, heritage and culture.
Each morning begins with a school-wide assembly featuring Japji Sahib Paath (Sikh daily prayer), where students also participate in Kirtan and Ardaas. This daily practice continues from Kindergarten through Grade 12, nurturing spiritual growth and community connection.
Our School Community
We have been a proud part of the Abbotsford community for 33 years. As a Sikh faith-based school, we collaborate closely with other faith-based private schools.
Our small class sizes, well-resourced facilities, and collaborative learning environment create an exceptional space for both students and staff. Working at Dasmesh means joining the Dasmesh Family on a safe, closed campus.
For the past decade, we have consistently ranked among the top three schools in Abbotsford by the Fraser Institute, with a 100% graduation rate. Our students regularly earn scholarships, early admission to top universities, and other prestigious awards.
Mountains, Community and Culture
Abbotsford, about an hour east of Vancouver, sits in B.C.’s Coast Mountains and borders Mission, Langley and Chilliwack.
Popular spots include Scenic Mill Lake, which draws families, anglers, joggers and nature lovers with its playgrounds and trails. The walkable neighbourhood offers a mix of homes, condos and townhouses near Seven Oaks Mall and Abbotsford Regional Hospital.
The revitalized historic downtown features a heritage core with farmers’ markets, festivals, local shops and new condo developments.
