Dear Prospective Parents and Students,

First of all I would like to extend my best wishes to all SEE appeared students for the colorful and outstanding result.

By the time we graduate from the high school, most of us have spent more than 14500 hours in the class room. Along the way, we learnt several million facts ranging from literature to mathematics, history and geography. But, after high school, we need to focus on professional education that shapes our future career. 

Hence, I would like to invite all prospective students to join IST Higher Secondary School for your Plus Two education in the area of hospitality management.  IST Secondary School offers the only hotel management degree after SEE in Nepal.

I strongly believe that parents are the primary educators of their children and the most significant variable affecting student achievement. Therefore, I would like to invite our prospective parents to visit our college and be assured on our facility and other strengths.  Once again, I thank you for your interest in IST.  

Thank you.
