British School of Kathmandu

This British style international school is an independent non-profit making school, catering for children from 3-19. It was founded in 1966 by a group of British and Commonwealth expatriates who wanted a British-style education for their children. 

The school received official recognition from His Majesty’s Government of Nepal the following year. From its early days, the School has been under the patronage of the British Embassy. 

Curriculum

It is a fee-paying, not-for-profit, independent, international school delivering the English National Curriculum with thirty-two full time UK recruited staff (including the Principal). The School began building up a Senior School in 1996 and now the School accommodates students through to A Level. Cambridge International Examinations and Edexcel syllabi are followed for IGCSE and A Level examinations (CIE is part of the UCLES Examinations Board).

Students

The School currently serves 42 nationalities all sharing English as the teaching medium. It is well resourced and currently has 350 on role. As a staff we are very committed to the multicultural aspects of the School.
