As the Principal of the school, I feel blessed and immensely delighted for being honoured with such a noble opportunity of colouring the beautiful souls around me with positive human and ethical values. Army Public School, Kalimpong promotes quality education and provides ample opportunities for experimental learning, enhancement of academic skills and a harmonious and overall development of students.

We believe in imparting various other skills by the means of conducting and participating in co-curricular activities. Our students have been bringing laurels in almost every co-scholastic domain, that is cultural, literary, sports, art and craft etc. Teachers and students are putting their best efforts in grabbing prizes and good results academically as well. Teachers who love teaching, teach children to love learning.

Our zealous students have overcome the summit of every challenge and performed excellently in zonal, district, state and even national level activities. The management has aided us with smart classes and our students are taking more interest in learning through smart boards. Every concept has become easier for them and learning has become a cakewalk.

Academic excellence is one of our major thrusts, so, our students have come up with flying colours and performed well in board exams. Our motive is to motivate and empower the students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers and productive members of an ever-changing global society. The parents are the most strengthening power in moulding the future of children. So, I pay my gratitude to them for their faith in us.

Wishing you all the best!!
