Taktse International School is a not-for-profit co-educational school located in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas, near Gangtok, Sikkim. Opened in March 2006, the school has residential and day boarding facilities and enrolls students from kindergarten through grade 12.Everything begins with a story. The story of Taktse is the story of a vanished kingdom, the story of the colonized Himalayas, the story of rapid transformation from feudalism to democracy and the story of a group of Sikkimese who realized that they were starving for education; the kind that would empower instead of humiliate and inspire instead of defeat. After raising funds both locally and abroad, the school opened in 2006 with 17 students. It is located on a hilltop donated by the son of the last King of Sikkim and in full view of the local protecting deity Mt. Kanchendzonga.
