ISPS Dharamsala was founded by Shri Mataji in 1990. Starting with only 30 pupils, the school now has nearly 250 students, from Class 1 (6 year olds) to Class 10 (15 year olds). There are about 65 international teaching, dormitory and administration staff, who live on-site in a spectacular setting below the 5,000 metre peaks of the Dhawalgiri Himalayas.
The school is constantly changing and developing - and with a number of new building projects, a refreshed syllabus, and a new emphasis on creative learning and extra curricular activities, this is an exciting time to join this great project.
