Chumey MSS

Location and History

Chumey Middle Secondary School is located on the highway about 20km from Jakar Dzong towards Trongsa under Chumey Geog, Bumthang. It was started as a primary school with seventy students and four teachers in 1983. It was upgraded to a lower secondary school in 1998 and then to a middle secondary school in 2001 with the construction of new buildings through World Bank funding.

Chumey MSS has grown and progressed over the years and has classes ranging from PP to X. This year, there are 19 sections with 627 students and 25 teachers supported by 16 non-teaching staff.

The school provides boarding for students from classes seven upwards coming from the community schools in the geog and from other geogs. There are two units of 32 bedded girls’ dormitories and three units of 32 bedded boys’ dormitories, accommodating 242 boarders this year.

With the continuous increase in the strength particularly in the secondary classes, construction of a four classroom block and one unit of 64 bedded girls’ dormitory has been proposed in the 10th FYP.
