History
The British School started in 1966[1] as a school for British and Commonwealth parents who wanted British-style education for their children. The school originally offered primary education.[1] On 7 July 1967, the Government of Nepal gave official recognition to The British School and has since been supported by the British Embassy.[1]
In 1997, the school expanded its curriculum to include Key Stage 3 students and they moved their campus to Jhamsikhel, Lalitpur.[1]
In February 1998, the Prince of Wales opened the new campus.[1]
In August 2004, the school expanded its curriculum to include A-Levels.[1]
As of 2025[update], the school's most recent inspection was in 2022.[2]
