Druk White Lotus School has provided quality education to Ladakhi girls and boys since September 2001.
Montesorri Learning.

Who We Teach:

The school’s catchment includes remote areas where quality education is unavailable. November 2006 saw the start of another academic year, with 356 children enrolled in eight year groups, from Nursery through to Junior Class 5. When complete, the school will accommodate about 780 young people.

What We Teach:

Nursery and Infant children are taught using the Montessori system. Children follow the national curriculum through Classes 1 to 8, which leads into the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) examination syllabus for Classes 9 and 10.

In addition to the core subjects of English, Hindi, Bodhic (local language), maths and social studies, children study information techhnology, physical education and creative arts (painting, drawing, model-making, drama, dance and song).

Educational Ethos:

"The school aims to nurture life skills to give confidence and impart livelihood skills"

The educational ethos is to believe in the child as an active participant in the learning process rather than as a passive recipient. Activity-based learning forms a key part of lessons and children regularly participate in field-trips, role play, discussions, group-work and games. The school aims to nurture ‘life skills’ to give confidence and impart ‘livelihood skills’ to develop competence.
