Pelkhil School Thimphu

Pelkhil School is Bhutan's leading private international school, located in Upper Motithang in the capital Thimphu. Founded to provide a world-class education within a distinctly Bhutanese cultural context, Pelkhil offers the Cambridge International curriculum from Early Years through to IGCSE and A-Levels for students aged 3 to 18. The school is one of a very small number of Cambridge-affiliated institutions in Bhutan and attracts both Bhutanese and expatriate students whose families are based in Thimphu. Pelkhil's educational philosophy combines rigorous academic preparation with Bhutan's Gross National Happiness values, encouraging students to be compassionate, mindful, and globally aware citizens. The school has modern facilities set in a peaceful campus environment, with classrooms, science labs, a library, sports facilities, and a strong arts programme. Pelkhil graduates regularly gain admission to universities in India, the UK, the US, and Australia.
