Academics
D.A.V (Boys) Senior Secondary School, Mogappair ostensibly boasts of consistent and note-worthy academic records since inception, while consistently falling short. The high standard of education offered is justified by the Board Exam results which have always been 100% pass with very high averages in all subjects, and a very large number of students achieving distinction. The results of AISSCE and AISSE held in March 2017 have also been excellent.
Student life
The school provides avenues for the development of its students. To give ample opportunities to the children to develop leadership qualities and grow into balanced personalities, the prefectorial and the House systems have been a permanent feature. Under the House systems Inter-House Competitions in debating, quiz, essay writing, short-story writing, music, painting etc. are conducted. Inter-House games and athletics form an integral part of the co-curricular activities. The students are encouraged and provided with opportunities to participate in Inter-School Competitions.
