Kathmandu National School

• Kathmandu National School (KNS) is a co-educational school located in Purano Baneshwor, Kathmandu, with a history dating back to 1980 AD (2036 BS). The school began with a focus on pre-primary education and later expanded its academic offerings to serve students through higher levels of schooling.

• The school follows a learning-by-doing approach, encouraging students to gain practical understanding both inside and outside the classroom rather than depending entirely on conventional textbook-based learning.

• KNS aims to support the overall development of students, combining academic learning with character development, discipline, creativity, sports, and community-oriented activities.

• Its educational philosophy is reflected in the school's motto, “Education – Civilization – Humanization,” emphasizing not only academic knowledge but also responsible behaviour, values, and social development.

• The school provides a child-friendly environment intended to help students become confident, independent, disciplined, and capable learners, while encouraging curiosity and active participation in their education.

• KNS also provides opportunities for students to participate in sports, excursions, cultural programs, celebrations, and other extracurricular activities, supporting development beyond academics.

• The institution is part of a wider education network that includes KNS +2, extending educational opportunities from early childhood through adolescence and higher-secondary education.
