Kathmandu World School
Kathmandu World School (KWS) is located at Surya Binayak–7, Gundu, Bhaktapur, a tranquil and peaceful place conducive for creating a unique learning environment. KWS is the culmination of a vision shared by a group of prominent Nepalese educators and entrepreneurs who saw the need to develop a semi-residential school of world standards in Nepal to meet the growing need for high-quality holistic education for children aged five to nineteen years.
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.
Vision
Kathmandu World School envisions to become a top-notch school with a reputation for educational excellence in both Nepal and the region thereby helping create a better future.
Mission

The school's emphasis is on providing valued–based education in an intellectually stimulating learning environment, imparted by professionals trained in progressive teaching-learning approaches, to transform the young learners into knowledgeable, confident, responsible and proactive individuals with an international-mindedness and a passion for lifelong learning. It aims to prepare individuals who can face the challenges in an uncertain and interconnected global community.

In the event that a student contracts a contagious illness, the infirmary provides enough beds and a separate isolation area to utilize. An expert Medical Practitioner will visit the school on a regular basis to check on the students' health. Special health camps, such as eye tests and dental checkups, will be held from time to time to raise awareness about health concerns among children and their parents.

The boarding houses are a short walk from the school buildings and are divided into two sections for girls and boys.
