Off the Ara-Sasaram State Highway at Konhara, near Udwant Nagar in Bhojpur district, Delhi Public School Ara holds a significant distinction - it is the fourth DPS Society school to be established in Bihar, after those at Patna, Bhagalpur, and Gaya. Run by the Shanti Sinha Society for Education & Excellence and affiliated to the Delhi Public School Society, New Delhi - a non-profit organization registered under the Societies Registration Act of 1860 - DPS Ara is the only authentic DPS Society school serving the Bhojpur, Rohtas, Buxar, and Kaimur belt. The school's own website notes how families from these districts have long sent their children to Patna, Varanasi, Ranchi, and Delhi for quality schooling - a gap DPS Ara was established to address.

Affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education, DPS Ara offers English-medium, co-educational schooling from Nursery through Class 12 as a CBSE school in Ara. The school follows a comprehensive curriculum integrated with ICT-enabled classroom delivery. A structured teacher training programme runs alongside regular academics, and the school enforces a strict no-homework policy for classes up to Class II. Admissions for 2026-27 are conducted through an Assessment-Entrance Test, with results published on the school's official website. Seats are filled on a first-come-first-served basis.

The campus at Konhara spans 8 acres of green grounds and includes smart classrooms with interactive whiteboards and projection screens, a state-of-the-art computer lab, a fully equipped language lab, subject-specific science laboratories, and a design and technology workshop. A library-cum-media centre with e-learning hubs, dedicated studios for dance, music, and theatre, an auditorium-cum-multimedia theatre, a sick room with paramedic support, and an on-campus ambulance are among the notable campus features. Sports facilities include sprawling playfields, sprint tracks, cricket, football, and hockey grounds, along with an outdoor stadium for basketball, volleyball, badminton, and tennis.
