Founded in the year 1988 as a middle level school, it has
today grown by leaps and bounds. As the requirement of a high
school imparting Tibetan education in Nepal was felt, the
generous assistance of the Department of Education, CTA of
His Holiness the Dalai Lama, for purchase of new land and
the SOS Kinderdorf International for funding the construction
of the new complex helped realize this dream to a certain
extent.
In 1993, the Department of Education, CTA, deputed Mr. Wangdu
Phuntsok as its new Director. The school was upgraded to senior
secondary level in April 1995. The school today offers Commerce
and Humanities study for grades XI and XII. Others opting
for Science join Central School for Tibetans in Mussoorie,
India.
Today, the school imparts quality Tibetan education that
helps the successful preservation of the rich cultural heritage
of the Tibetan community in Nepal. All its teachers in this
school will be trained teachers by this year-end, fulfilling
a target set by this department. The academic achievements
of the school have been good to excellent over the years.
In fact, the 3rd batch of grade XII students achieved an excellent
result of 93 %. Several of its class XII graduates are pursuing
higher college education in reputed colleges and universities
across the subcontinent and beyond. In this context, the department
awards a special scholarship package to 25 deserving students
each year from the school for higher college and vocational
education.
Today, the school stands on the threshold of the new millennium
readying itself for higher glory and achievements. The present
enrolment of 390 students along with the 25 teachers, 24 administrative
& other staff members are more than ever ready to take
the school to that level.
