Higher Secondary School Khaltsi serves students of Khaltsi and the surrounding villages with Humanities, Science, Commerce and Vocational streams.

Along with academic excellence, we place great emphasis on character, discipline, creativity, critical thinking, teamwork, and respect for others. We encourage our students to embrace challenges, learn from their experiences, and contribute positively to society. I sincerely appreciate the continued support and cooperation of our parents, dedicated teachers, and the entire school community. Together, we can provide our children with the strong foundation they need to succeed and lead meaningful lives. Let us continue to work together with purpose, perseverance, and positivity to create a brighter future for every child.
