International Schools in Kathmandu, Nepal

Kathmandu’s international schools are a mixed sector that commonly offers Cambridge (IGCSE/A-Level), International Baccalaureate and, alongside those, English-medium versions of regional curricula such as Indian CBSE or Nepal’s national syllabus, so parents can usually find both British-style and IB options. Instruction is predominantly in English, with Nepali taught as a compulsory subject in many schools and some schools operating bilingual programmes in early years. Fees vary widely - from lower-cost, locally oriented English-medium schools up to international schools whose prospectuses report annual tuition in the mid-thousands to low-ten-thousands of US dollars - and additional examination or registration charges (IGCSE/IB/A-Level) are common. The academic year in Nepal generally begins in mid-April (Baisakh), most schools open admissions around the Chaitra - Baisakh period (mid-March to April) though some upper-secondary programmes have different start months (for example IB/Diploma and +2 intakes), and many schools also keep some places open year-round for mid-year entries.
