Initially the school had classes from KG to class III. A number of donors have provided financial support for the construction of classrooms, staff quarters and purchase of furniture in the school. The school was brought under the administration of the Department of Education in 1980 and it is being administered and managed by the Sambhota Tibetan Schools Society Dharamshala under the direction of DoE, Central Tibetan Administration and was upgraded to class V.
The school was later upgraded to Middle school i.e., up to class VIII. It was formally inaugurated by H. H. the fourteenth Dalai Lama on 17th February 1981. Boarding facility was made available when a number of Tibetan children from Tuting (a far flung place in the north east of India) started joining the school in 1998. Till date the school has received four batches of children from the area. As such, most of the children of the school are from Tuting. The school at present is a secondary school with class X as the highest.

The school is located in the heart of Bir Tibetan Settlement. It is 70 Km from Dharamsala in Kangra District. By the year 1972 number of children in the school has increased to 77. The Central Tibetan School Administration, New Delhi also pitched in to support the school with its grant in aid scheme.

In 1999, all DoE run schools were handed to Sambhota Tibetans Schools Society (STSS). Subsequently the school name has been changed to Sambhota Tibetan School Bir. At that time there were 125 students. Today it is a primary school having classes from pre primary to class 3. There are total 63 students with 8 teaching and 2 non teaching staff. Mrs Chime Dolma is the current headmistress of the school.
