The CTA’s Department of Education website has a large variety of educational materials written in the Tibetan language. The textbooks for each topic are not clearly ordered on their website, so I have ordered them by grade level here. This page is a complete index of all of the textbooks on their website (under the སློབ་དེབ་ i.e. “textbooks” heading) as of August 4, 2025.
Note: I have also indexed a variety of video-based lessons which could be studied in conjunction with these textbooks.
Topics:
- Social studies
- Math
- Science
- Tibetan language
- History and religious history
- Buddhism
- Weekend textbooks
