ABOUT

The school has world–class infrastructure and state–of–the–art facilities in a calm and peaceful setting that fosters an exceptional learning environment. The structures and facilities are spread out on 55 Ropanis of lush foliage and natural beauty.

Academic programs in the elementary (Grades 1, 3, 4, and 5) and high school levels (Grade 11 Science and Management) began in the Academic Year 2075 BS (2018-19).

The school encourages hands–on activities so that students are directly involved in creating and constructing effective learning experiences rather than being passive recipients of ready made content delivered through one–way lectures. Experiences, inside and outside the classrooms, are integrated with goals and objectives of the curriculum.

At Kathmandu World School , the students are required to be actively engaged in posing questions, investigating, experimenting, problem–solving, assuming responsibilities, being creative and constructing meaning. Experiential learning focuses on developing these important skills in our students, helping them to better prepare for higher education, life and beyond.

Faculty members in the school are highly accomplished, experienced and dedicated individuals and are driven by values that place students and their holistic development at the core. In order to develop teachers’ professional skills and update their knowledge on the latest teaching and learning pedagogies, the KWS Professional Learning Center organizes regular in– house training for teachers.
