Army Public School
Army Public School (APS) is a boarding school located in Dagshai, India. It lies on top of the Dagshai Hills.

It is a coeducational residential School affiliated to the CBSE, New Delhi, and is a member of the Indian Public Schools' Conference. The school is ranked 9th among top boarding schools in India. The name Dagshai, according to a popular local legend was derived from Daag-e-Shahi. During the Moghul times a Daag-e-Shahi (royal mark) was put on the forehead of the criminals and sent packing to the then Dagshai village. This can also be seen on a rock edict in the school premises. The closest railway station is Kumarhatti located some 2 kilometers from Dagshai. Trains from and to Kalka operate on this track between Kalka and Shimla.
