Air Quality

Lincoln School acknowledges the significance of air quality and has implemented various initiatives to provide a clean and healthy environment for our students to thrive in. In response to the recorded air quality levels in Kathmandu, they have established procedures to gather AQI data from different areas and at various times on our campus. The Staff and Faculty Air Quality Committee has worked diligently to ensure that the processes are in line with the best practices adopted by educational institutions in the region. Drawing from this research, Lincoln School has developed several measures to minimize students' exposure to unhealthy air.

Child Protection

Lincoln School holds a strong commitment to upholding the safety and rights of children in accordance with their fundamental principles. They endorse the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was ratified by Nepal, our host country, in 1990 and incorporated into Nepal's Children's Act in 1992. Guided by the Convention's spirit, Lincoln School endeavors to create a safe and secure environment for all our students, recognizing that all children have the right to be treated with respect and dignity at all times.

Safety and Security

At Lincoln School, the safety and security of the community is of utmost importance, and they have taken significant measures to ensure preparedness for a range of circumstances. To guide their ability to prepare for and respond to potential crises, they have developed an extensive crisis response manual. The staff members have received comprehensive training in crisis response, and they conduct regular drills on fire, earthquake, stand fast, and emergency dismissal procedures. In addition, they have a lightning detection system that enables them to make informed decisions regarding outdoor activities and pool use. The efforts in this domain are further bolstered by the support of the US Embassy and the Regional Security Office.
