The school began as Church High School in the President's Estate in 1941, was renamed to Naveen Bharat School in 1947 and finally moved to its present location on Mathura Road and was renamed as Delhi Public School in 1949.

DPS Mathura Road was the only DPS till 1972 when a second school was established in R. K. Puram by R. S. Lugani who also became its first principal.
