Teaching in school is an important part of education for the students because it provides them with knowledge that will prepare them for their future challenges. Teaching is not only about delivering knowledge; it is also about increasing curiosities, building confidence, developing values, encouraging critical thinking, and improving the creativity of the students. Teachers are also there for the students to guide them as their mentors, develop essential life skills, and create a space where students can grow emotionally, socially, and academically.

In Nepal, lecture-based learning is still popular in comparison to other methods of teaching. This method is widely used because it allows the teacher to share knowledge with the students at once. Yet, their success is often dependent on the teacher's ability to keep them interested. But there are also some additional changes within the education system of some schools. Gradually, they are starting to implement teaching methods that will make the students more interested in learning. Realizing that different teaching methods have a huge impact on classroom performance, new methods should be adopted to meet the needs of every student. 

Kathmandu World School (KWS) has also applied some teaching methods within their educational system and is always ready to implement a teaching method that will help them to  prepare for their future. They have adopted an active approach that focuses on experiential and comprehensive learning, which creates an example for other schools. 

Project Based Learning

Kathmandu World School often uses project-based learning where the students are given real-world problems to deal with and gain practical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking about those matters. This method also allows the students to apply their knowledge and skills in new topics. For example, in social studies, teachers can let the students document the local traditions and festivals by speaking with elderly people to learn about their cultural meaning. After the documentation, they can present their research through creative mediums like posters or short films and develop their content creation skills, which will be useful in the future. Students who have their own interests can be given projects that will help them to develop their skills, knowledge, and experience within that field. These projects will not only improve academic performance, but they will also improve their teamwork and communication skills, which are very important in collaborative environments.

The Use of Technology

Since Kathmandu World School is among the best schools in Kathmandu Valley, it has lots of features that can improve the performance of the teachers and students within the school. The students are given access to smart classrooms, e-learning platforms, and interactive digital tools for assignments and discussions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kathmandu World School switched to virtual learning to make sure the classes were not stopped further. Through online classes, they were able to complete their lessons and gain new experiences in that period. The use of technology allows the students to be prepared from an early age for a tech-driven future. As Nepal is still politically unstable, resulting in political strikes and uncalled public holidays, in such a situation as well, virtual learning can be used to provide education to students residing in different parts of the country. So the threat of political strikes and other calamities won’t deter the teachers from imparting knowledge to their students.

It will be a crucial ability as Nepal will be more involved with the global digital economy. The use of technology at Kathmandu World School combines traditional learning with new innovations, allowing students to remain competitive on a worldwide basis. This signals a significant improvement in a country where many schools still struggle with basic facilities. 

Cultural Preservation

Kathmandu World School has lots of students with different ethnic backgrounds, but they still promote cultural diversity as well as cognitive and learning differences. Because of that,  students will also notice a welcoming environment in which they will feel valued for their particular skills and recognize the fact that each student can learn in a different way. Such respect for others will not only improve academic performance but also develop a deeper understanding of human diversity and make the students accept each other without any discrimination. 

Kathmandu World School also balances between raising global awareness and 

protecting Nepali culture. While students are taught worldwide courses and ideas, there is an equal emphasis on Nepalese heritage, language, and culture. Festivals like Dashain, Tihar, and Lhosar are celebrated with enthusiasm, creating a sense of cultural pride and identity. The school also shows the different dances and songs of different cultures in a main program, which is celebrated happily. This double approach allows students to be global citizens while remaining connected to their own culture.

From these teaching methods, Kathmandu World School is changing the education system of Nepal by creating a huge impact on other schools and peoples. They are placing importance on academic performance and personal development, making sure that students are developing life skills like teamwork, leadership, and communication skills. By adding various teaching methods, Kathmandu World School will create a welcoming, compassionate, and dynamic environment that focuses on each student’s progress while also developing honesty, respect, accountability, and teamwork in the classroom.
