Schools
The DTEA runs seven senior secondary schools at Mandir Marg, Lodi Estate, Lakshmibai Nagar, Moti Bagh, Karol Bagh, R.K. Puram and Janakpuri. The DTEA follows the policy of taking the education to the doors of the children by providing schools in convenient localities as far as possible. Another school at Mayur Vihar Phase III has been proposed to open recently.
The schools are aided minority institutions, owned and managed by the DTEA at Lodi Estate and are all registered under the Societies Registration Act. The schools, though meant primarily for Tamils, also accept other residents of Delhi.
The schools are affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education and are recognized by the Directorate of Education, Government. of N.C.T. of Delhi. Four languages, English, Tamil, Hindi, and Sanskrit, are taught in all seven schools.
The DDA has allotted 2 acres (8,100 m2) of land at Mayur Vihar Phase III for opening the DTEA's eighth senior secondary school.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“The schools begin with what they call the elements, and where do they end?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If the women of the United States, with their free schools and all their enlarged liberties, are not superior to women brought up under monarchical forms of government, then there is no good in liberty.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“If Jesus, or his likeness, should now visit the earth, what church of the many which now go by his name would he enter? Or, if tempted by curiosity, he should incline to look into all, which do you think would not shut the door in his face?... It seems to me ... that as one who loved peace, taught industry, equality, union, and love, one towards another, Jesus were he alive at this day, would recommend you to come out of your churches of faith, and to gather into schools of knowledge.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
