A few years ago, a group of leading Nepalese educationists and entrepreneurs felt the need to establish a semi-residential school of an international standard in Nepal to meet the growing demand for high-quality holistic education for children of five to nineteen years. Thus, Kathmandu World School (KWS) was established at Surya Binayak – 7, Gundu, Bhaktapur.
The school possesses world-class infrastructure supported by the state–of–the–art facilities in a serene and peaceful location, conducive to a unique learning environment. The buildings and facilities are spread over 55 Ropanis of land endowed with abundant greenery and natural beauty.
The first phase of construction has almost been completed while the rest of the project is tentatively scheduled to attain completion by 2022. The school, when fully operational, will have a total capacity of 1,390 students of which there is provision for 400 students to reside in the school hostel.
The Academic Year 2075 BS (2018-19) marked the commencement of the academic programs at the elementary (Grades 1, 3, 4 and 5) as well as secondary school (Grade 11 Science and Management). Now the school offers a full-fledged High School Programme from grades 1 (One) to 12 (Twelve) at the elementary level (Grade 1-5), the National Curriculum for the Middle School (Grade 6-9) and the National Education Board’s Grade 11 & 12 program in Science, Management, Humanities, and Law. With the introduction of Cambridge International A-Level from the Academic Year 2021 KWS is truly International in every aspect.
