List of Schools in Kalimpong
This page contains a list of schools and institutes in Kalimpong along with some relevant information about them. Hopefully this list will be useful for prospective students or parents/guardians etc.
I have long wanted to set this list up but only got around to doing it now. The information has been collected from various sources. I would like to thank all those who helped by contributing tidbits of info, especially the good folks of the Darjeeling Forum, and lots of thanks to SP for compiling the information.
This list is in no way comprehensive or complete at this moment so please expect to see errors or omissions. If you do spot any, please drop me a line to let me know, or say so in the comments thread below.
If there are any schools/institutes in Kalimpong that I’ve missed out, please do let me know. I’d be grateful for any information that will help me “fill-in-the-blanks” below. 
Cheers,

-Update: Thanks to Mr. Vimal Khawas for providing additional information.
The state board schools like SUMI, Kumudini had nepali as the medium of instruction (with books written in Nepali till class V) till about 10-12 years ago. However, the government of west bengal keeping in mind the importance of english instructed these schools to follow english in primary standard. Although by and large teachers in these schools still teach in Nepali (mode of lecture), but the books are written in English.

Hi all you lovely people from Kalimpong,my dream is to visit one day as my dear father told me so many stories as a child of his life growing up in Kalimpong. He died many years ago and all i have is a bible he gave me that he was given on leaving school in 1926. i am trying to trace St Andrews Kalimpong Homes, it was a boys home and school and the signature on the bible is J A Graham, could this be the founder of the Dr Grahams schools? i would really appreciate any comments or help in tracing this school and or anyone who would still be alive to remember Anthony Minahan thankyou

Hi,
I was left at a girl’s convent in Kalimpong when I was about 18 months of age 1941 by my parents who were in Calcutta. Although a little boy, the nuns couldn’t resist me because I had golden curly hair. I think it must have been St Joseph’s. I can’t remember it and never went back but in later years I was in boarding school in the Murree Hills in Pakistan and that was a hill station too so I expect it was similar. But Kalimpong is special to me. Whenever there are documentaries on about Darjeeling and the little railway, I love to see it.
Best wishes to you all there and all those from there who think of home.

Hi!
I always used to see the school names in kalimpong Info in past but Ihv always saw the names like Dr. grahams, St. augustines & St. Joseph convent etc, but 2day I’m so happy I finally get to see my school’s name Kalimpong Girls’ High school, thanks 4 including my school’s name in tha list as well as SUMI coz these are the century ols schools & they have a big hold in Kalimpong, but one thing is Girls’ high school is not just a madhyamik school It’s a higher secondary school so, could u plz do this correction???
Love & miss u kalimpong.
Thanks

Hi Claire I left Dr. Grahams Homes in ‘55. JA Graham was John Anderson Graham the founder of the school perhaps you may care to get in touch with me & I will attempt to assist you in your search. The bible you have is what all children received when they were leaving school.

just had to bring to your notice a few aberrations…
it is not BB Pradhan Management School but BB Pradhan Management College (strictly speaking this is not a ‘college’ but a more evolved study center for distance education courses run by Sikkim Manipal University…a UGC approved college has stringent norms for selecting lecturers [now called assistant professors as opposed to associate professors who belong to a slightly higher pedagogical hierarchy] through nationwide exams such as NET or state specific ones called SLET)..
also Good Shepherd Hotel Management Institution is not approved by the AICTE (all india council for technical education) though curiously that makes them stand in the haloed company of institutes such as the Indian School of Business (rated higher than the IIMs in a number of parameters)and Great Lakes School of Management who have not yet (or bothered to) get that AICTE tag, which like all things in India is as much a political and commercial benchmark as it is an educational one)
lastly it is Mary Scott Home of the Blind run by the Salvation Army..Marie on the other hand is the name of a popular biscuit …

also the School of Vocational Studies was actually School of Vocational Studies and Languages..it used to operate out of the SUMI primarcy school campus..this institution has now gone defunct..its founder Mr Yusuf Simmick whom can safely call the progenitor of NGO movements in Kalimpong runs a course for the educated unemployed out at Pudung..

Once again it’s me “GORKHEE” Choro Ajay………Gorkhee Namestee to you all …..Well, Whatever we do…we do for ourself,for our own selfish intrest if i am not wrong Is n’t? Now time has come ……lets do something for our “Janma Bhumi(MATO)” where we born and brought up .I Personally,appeal to all “Gorkha”Daju,bahi,bahini,mama,maiju,kaka,kaki across whole world to join hands togather and make an identity of “Vir Gorkha” which is posible only if we make Gorkhaland.Pull up the socks, leave personal matters Such as ” tallo Goan ko, mathilo goan ko. Falana /Diskana, jhra ko kaam, batt ko kaam etc and raise the voice unanimously.
I need/want/love Gorkhaland….
But what about you? Do you really….?
May 8th, 2010 at 11:55 am MST
YOU CAN WRITE GOOD THINGS FOR MATO AND GORKHALAND BY STAYING IN DELHI….IF U WANT GORKHALAND COME AND STAY IN ANY ONE OF THESE SUB DIVISIONS..THEN YOU WILL KNOW THE HARDSHIP BEING FACED BY OUR PEOPLE…MERE WRITING FROM DELHI IS NOTHING.

Good info about school…..I guess thatz what Kalimpong is famous for.Is the backbone of the economy there………….but the present condition is really deteriorating the name……for the past couple of years many outstation student are leaving and prefer to study in elsewhere..Can’t blame them…..It was said to me by an Educationalist there, that after the long agitation in the ‘80, it took several years to regain the name and trust…….as history repeats itself, it seem to me that the same is happening……sad to say that the white Kanchanjunga is red now…..As per “Gorkhaland” is concerned it seem to me that , itz not how we get it but who brings it. I wish the hills were as beautiful as itz name and nature.

East and West but home (Kalimpong) is best.
Yes, as a product of St Joseph’s Convent (in those days they took in li’l boys!) and eventually Goethals Memorial School my heart belongs to Kalimpong, after all it’s home.
July 15th, 2010 at 9:06 pm MST
Excellent work, keep up the good work. regarding S.U.M.I.’s info it’s Sutherland Memorial Primary Section and not Sutherland Memorial Nursery School.The School is also celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2011.

Seeing the state of Government High School, Kalimpong it hurts! Someone has to do something now; the school authorities should come up with plan to face-lift the Schhol.
