Up to Grade 8, the school uses Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE), which combines classwork, periodic tests, and terminal exams rather than relying on a single final score. From Grade 9, students move to letter grading and GPA, matching the system used for SEE. Each academic year includes first terminal, second terminal, and final examinations, with results shared through report cards and parent meetings.

Yes, transfer admission is open across most grades depending on seat availability at the time of application. The school will need a transfer certificate, a character certificate from the previous school, and mark sheets or report cards from the last two academic years. Once documents are verified, the admissions office will confirm the grade placement and any additional steps needed to complete enrollment.

• Sports such as football, cricket, basketball, and athletics
• Clubs covering art, debate, science, and cultural activities
• School-level competitions, annual functions, and inter-house events

These activities run alongside academics rather than as an occasional add-on, giving students a regular outlet beyond the classroom. Participation is encouraged for all grades, with age-appropriate events organized separately for junior and senior students.

Computer is introduced as a subject from the primary level and continues right through to Grade 10, covering basic digital literacy first and moving into more structured computer science concepts in higher grades. Students who choose Computer Science as their Grade 9/10 elective go further, covering programming basics and computer applications relevant to SEE. The goal is that by Grade 10, students are comfortable with everyday computer use and have a working foundation for +2 level computer subjects if they choose that path.

Enrollment starts with an inquiry to the school, either through the website form, a phone call, or a visit to the admissions office at Koteshwor. The admissions team will explain the grade-wise requirements, share the list of documents needed, and guide the family through the application and placement process. Once documents are submitted and verified, the school confirms the seat and enrollment for the requested grade.

Admission inquiries can be submitted online through the inquiry form on the school's website, or by contacting the admissions office directly by phone or in person. The admissions team typically responds within a couple of working days to confirm seat availability and next steps. For faster follow-up during busy admission periods, calling the office directly after submitting an inquiry can help.

Yes, parent-teacher meetings are held periodically through the year, usually around terminal exam results, so parents get a direct update on their child's academic and behavioral progress. These meetings are also where teachers flag any subject a student is struggling with and discuss what support is being planned. Parents can request an additional meeting with a subject teacher outside these scheduled dates if a concern comes up.

Teachers identify struggling students mainly through class performance and periodic test results, then follow up with extra attention during class or additional practice work. For Grade 9 and 10 students heading toward SEE, this often means targeted revision in the specific subject or topic causing difficulty rather than generic extra classes. Parents are kept informed through report cards and meetings so support at home can match what is happening at school.

Health and Physical Education is part of the timetable from primary level through Grade 10, covering physical activity, basic health awareness, and hygiene topics appropriate to each age group. It is treated as a regular subject with its own periods rather than an occasional activity, and it also feeds into the sports and games the school organizes. This continues right up to Grade 10 alongside the SEE-focused academic subjects.

For a fresh admission, parents are generally asked for the child's birth certificate, recent passport-size photographs, and previous academic records if the child has attended school before. Additional documents may be requested depending on the grade, such as a migration or transfer certificate if applicable. The admissions office shares the exact checklist based on the specific grade and situation at the time of inquiry.

Most grades follow a pattern of a first terminal exam, a second terminal exam, and a final exam spread across the academic year, with periodic class tests in between. Results from each exam feed into the report card and, for Grade 9 and 10, into the GPA system that mirrors SEE grading. This structure gives both students and parents regular checkpoints rather than relying on one exam at year end.

Any candidate who has completed +2 (or an equivalent qualification) with a minimum grade of D+ in all subjects of Grade 11 and 12 is eligible for admission to the BA, BSW and BBS programs, affiliated with Tribhuvan University.

Candidates should have completed a BBS programme or any bachelor's degree from Tribhuvan University, or from any other university recognized by Tribhuvan University. The Faculty of Management (FOM) conducts a Central Management Admission Test (CMAT) for admission to the MBS programme, which has 40 seats.

Yes. Students who rank first, second or third in the final examination are entitled to full or partial scholarships. Scholarships are also awarded on a merit basis every year to financially underprivileged students.

Teaching combines lectures, seminars and personal tutorials. In seminars, small groups of students evaluate case studies and discuss lecture material in depth; personal tutorial sessions let students discuss any aspect of a course one-to-one with their tutor. All teaching takes place in fully-equipped lecture rooms with projectors and modern support systems.
