There were no casualties as the school in the village of Qamardin at Safi area of the Mohmand tribal district, 92km in northwest of Peshawar, was closed.
"The school was almost completely destroyed. Taliban planted explosives at five places and blew up most of the rooms," said Maqsood Khan, a senior administrative official in the area.
Islamist militants opposed to co-education have destroyed hundreds of schools, mostly for girls, in the northwest of the country in recent years as they wage a fierce insurgency to enforce sharia law.
"This was an act of the Taliban," Mr Khan added. "This is a reaction to the operation we have launched in the area."
