Himalayan English School was established in the year 1974 and it is conducted by the “Pakhrin Education Trust” (Regd No. S/60536 of 1985-86). The trust is also affiliated to “Kripasaran Buddhist Mission.”
The school is administered by the Trustee board and the managing committee.
The school is affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi (WB/186). In order to prepare the students for the examinations, a well worked out programme is implemented starting from Class Pre-Nursery through to Class XII.
The school premises for the Primary section comprising of students from Classes Pre-Nursery to class 1 is located at Iskcon Road, Haider Para, Siliguri.
The Academic Session is from April to March.
The school is a co-educational institution. It admits any child irrespective of religion, caste, creed or social status.
With PERSEVERANCE as its motto, the school lays great emphasis on promotion of academic performance and development of skills and the formation of character in order to instill discipline and foster a sense of respect for the rich culture and spiritual traditions of our nation.
The school recognizes the technological advances that are being made across the world and tries to implement new teaching techniques to facilitate interactivity between the Teachers and Students and the prescribed lesson plans.
Special attention is given to ensure a high standard of morality and discipline in the school. Guardians are requested to co-operate in this with the school authorities by ensuring regular attendance, performance, regularity of assignments/homeworks and punctuality of their wards. Periodical reports in the School Diary keep the parents informed of the progress of their wards. These reports are to be counter-signed by the parents and returned to be signed by the Class Teachers. Students are answerable to the school authorities for the conduct in and outside of the school. Hence, misbehavior of any sort like irregular attendance, habitual illness or idleness, objectionable moral behavior or any conduct detrimental to the normal life of the school, justifies dismissal. Continual failure to make satisfactory progress in studies and above all - Discourtesy, Disrespect and Disobedience to staff are each sufficient reason for dismissal from school.
