Srongtsen Bhrikuti Boarding High School was established
in 1982 in a small rented house with only 100 students and
a dozen staff member. It is one of the largest Tibetan schools
in Nepal today with over 738 students and 56 trained staff
members. It is affiliated with this department as are three
other Tibetan schools in Kathmandu.
Gradually, as the school started expanding over the years,
boarding facility was added and it became a full fledged boarding
school. The current principal Ven. Jampa Phuntsok took charge
in 1989. During his tenure, the new school building and dormitory
was constructed by funds from SOIR-IM and the school shifted
to a new premise.
Over the years, the school has been successfully preserving
the rich, unique religious and cultural heritage of our community
while propagating them to maintain our entity and cohesiveness.
It has been providing excellent educational facilities to
children of poor families and has more than 250 students,
who are sponsored by individuals and associations from all
across the world. In admission and sponsorships, the schools
give priority to children of recent arrivals from Tibet, orphan
and semi-orphan children as well as those who belong to remote
areas of Nepal.
