This paper presents new CCD BVRI light curves of the newly discovered RS CVn eclipsing binary star DV Psc. From the asymmetric light curves outside the eclipse, we find there are two depressions in the phase ranges 0.3-0.45 and 0.6-0.9, respectively. By analyzing the light curves using the Wilson-Devinney program, the four photometric solutions of the system are obtained and the starspot parameters are also derived. It turns out that the case of two spots being on the primary is most successful in reproducing the light curve distortion of DV Psc. Moreover, analysis the longitudes of spots suggests that there are two active longitude belts (one is about 90°, the other is about 270°). At the same time, on 22 November 2008, the first flare-like event was detected on DV Psc at phase 0.35 whose duration was about 13.5 min. These findings reveal that DV Psc has a high degree of magnetic activity.
