DRUK PADMA KARPO SCHOOL provides high standards of education to many children in Ladakh, a mountainous region of Northen India. Since opening in 2001 the school has become multi-award winning and caters for more than 880 students from local communities as well as remote regions of Ladakh where access to quality education is limited.
Students are encouraged to excel in a wide range of academic subjects, maintain their culture and traditions and learn skills for life. Recently affiliated with India’s Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), students attain high standards in examinations enabling them to engage fully in local and national opportunities.
The school was founded by Drukpa Thuksey Rinpoche and designed in association with Arup. This school is a not-for-profit institution and receives no direct public funding.
