Co-curricular offerings include the Don Bosco Times e-magazine, an alumni portal (DBAA), and extracurricular activity programmes aligned with St. John Bosco's 'Preventive System of Education' emphasizing Reason, Religion, and Kindness.

Revenue is generated through academic tuition and fees (subscription, paid annually via school counter or SBI Collect), examination fees for ICSE/ISC board exams, and separate bus transportation fees for school-owned and affiliated buses (Ram Baboo Bus service). Admissions are formalized at the school office through written tests and interviews for classes IV-IX, with an Entrance Aptitude Test for Std XI and an online registration portal.
