Situated close to the international border in Kathua district of Jammu & Kashmir, Delhi Public School Kathua is affiliated with the Delhi Public School Society, New Delhi - a network of over 126 schools operating across India and abroad under the motto "Service Before Self." The school serves families across Kathua and surrounding areas as an English-medium, co-educational CBSE institution offering continuous schooling from Nursery through Class 12. Its location near the border, rather than being seen as a constraint, is something the school's leadership regards as a defining character - one that has shaped an environment where resilience and national responsibility are part of the school's everyday culture.

In the CBSE Class X Board Examinations for the academic session 2025–26, Delhi Public School Kathua achieved a 100% result - a milestone announced on the school's official notice board in April 2026. This continues a pattern of consistent board performance that the school has maintained since at least 2016, with Class X and Class XII results documented annually on its website. The school offers Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams at the senior secondary level. Teaching at DPS Kathua is aligned with NEP 2020, with an emphasis on competency-based learning, inquiry-driven pedagogy, and foundational literacy across classes.

The school runs a dedicated NCC unit, with a specialized NCC training session conducted as recently as December 2025, building leadership and discipline among senior students. Co-curricular life at DPS Kathua includes observance of Veer Bal Diwas, Yoga Day, Independence Day, Republic Day, and an Annual Function. The school also actively promotes regional languages alongside English, in line with the multilingual emphasis of the national education framework. An alumni network tracked annually from 2015-16 onwards reflects the school's long-standing presence in Kathua's educational landscape.
