Don Bosco High School is a Catholic school for boys in Bombay, India. The school is located in Matunga. It also has a subsidiary which was built in 1970 in Borivali.

In 1937, the general council of Salesians of Don Bosco approved a plan to buy 60,000 square yards (50,000 m²) land in Matunga from the Bombay Municipal Corporation. The Corporation approved the sale on July 16, 1937. The Salesians bought the land for Rs. 229,160. The Don Bosco High School (formerly known as The Catholic Educational Institute) run by them was shifted from the rented premises at Tardeo to the new Don Bosco campus at Matunga.

The syllabus is in accordance with the Maharashtra Board of secondary and higher secondary education. There are many facilities including football grounds, basketball courts, Maschio computer institute, Savio Health Club which has advanced fitness facilities.The school organises a sports festival every year and celebrates Christmas with great gusto through 'CARE N SHARE CHRISTMAS PANORAMA' which has a novel theme of giving financial aid to an unprivileged section of society through contribution of cash and kind by students. The Bosco Hiker's club arranges a minimum of 5-6 treks annually in various parts of Maharashtra. The language French is offered by the school from 8th standard onwards. Inside the school campus is a very famous Don Bosco Church which attracts Catholics from all parts of the city. The boarding facilities offered are best which a school can offer.
