Greetings from Ugyen Academy! It is the first and only authentic international school in the Kingdom, where wholesome education is offered in a state-of-the-art setting. The School is second to none in the exciting possibilities it has with the most modern facilities on campus and a faculty rich in talent and experience. For effective teaching and learning the strength of our classes will not usually exceed 30 students. The academic facilities are designed to include a 20,000 volume library (with a special section on Bhutan), a bank of computers permanently online and a dedicated multi media lab to enhance learning. 

Ugyen Academy is in Khuruthang, which is the marketing centre in Punakha Dzongkhag. Ugyen Academy takes a central location; it lies between the town and Khuruthang Middle Secondary School. The place enjoys good weather all the year round. The evergreen fields of Talo flank the Northern side and the Southern tip merges into the beauty of the Punakha river.

In the present milieu with erosion of values and lowering of standards in most institutions, Ugyen Academy stands out as a school with strong value system and a code of conduct and discipline, which is based on mutual respect.  We uphold our founder’s vision and stress on total development – head, hand and heart.  Thus we are deeply committed in instilling in our students, positive traits like self discipline and social harmony that will lead to Gross National Happiness and Global Peace.

 

The school aims to:
Ø                  Provide a caring, happy, secure and purposeful education setting, which supports optimum academic, personal, and social development of all students.

Ø                  Explain and make sense of the various influences, which bear upon the student and promote good relationships and discipline based on mutual respect.

Ø                  Prepare students to take up various educational opportunities throughout their lives, within and beyond the context of work and thereby prepare them to develop a positive attitude towards life and face life with confidence.

Ø                  Promote in students core values and ethos of Bhutanese society and take pride in being a Bhutanese.

Mutual Respect/Discipline

Ugyen Academy aims to ensure an environment conducive for teaching and learning; positive student-student, teacher-teacher and student-teacher interactions. We believe that students need to understand that rules exist to safeguard the school environment that we envisage. Our rules are decentralized and students take ownership of the rules they frame.
