Who We Are

Wheaton was founded with the simple philosophy that Learning is for all of life.

All life is dynamic, constantly learning and changing. We want to inspire a thirst for learning in our students which will serve them well beyond the gates of the school.

The founder of the school has a heritage of three generations of Academicians and global connections with other international schools. 

Wheaton was setup for the Terai region of the Darjeeling District to bring a contemporary flavor to education instead of relying on outdated and colonial trends of learning. 

We excel in the following areas –

  • Academics                            – Through well planned curriculum implementation.

The heart of education is the education of the heart.
