Children Of The Highest Elementary School In This World
It’s 4600 meters height above sea level. ZhaXiZong Elementary School(扎西宗中心小学) is obviously the highest school in this world.
I was deeply affected by Tibetan children’s simplicity and enjoyment.





Location:
Zhaxizong township in Tingri county, Tibet, About 60 KM to the Everest Base Camp.

Are they Tibetan?

There are over 300 pupils in this school. 85% of them are Tibetan. And about 30% of them from poorly off family.

Thank you Omar, I am glad that you like them.
I attended an environmental volunteer event to Everest at May last year, and visited this school on the way back.

Wonderful photos! I am putting this on my list of places to go. Was it a problem finding the school? Was it easy to visit, or did you have to be invited?

Hi Tony, I visited there as a volunteer of an environment event. I think it’s easy to visit because they welcome all kinds of help.
I find a list about other schools in Tibet which need more help than this school(yeah, this school already gains more attention than others). I wonder if you can contact them for more information:
