Nestled in the misty enclave with its sylvan and idyllic surroundings lies Tashi Namgyal Academy, an English medium co-educational residential-cum day school in the capital of Sikkim, Gangtok.

Tashi Namgyal Academy was founded in 1966 by the late Sir Tashi Namgyal, K.C.S.I. & K.C.I.E., the eleventh consecrated Ruler of Sikkim. He was an ardent crusader for education and under his tutelage the portals of learning were established. The present Academy was shaped out of Sir Tashi Namgyal High School which was affiliated with Calcutta University. As a High School it was headed by three headmasters at various times, Mr. C.E. Dudley was the first headmaster. He established the school in the military barracks used by troops of Sir Francis Young Husband in 1903. Mr. A.K. Sarkar took over from Mr. Dudley and Mr. K.L. Kapoor was the last headmaster in the line.
