Rato Bangala School

Rato Bangala School is a renowned progressive, co-educational day school in Patan Dhoka, Lalitpur, founded in 1992. It is known for pioneering child-centred and progressive education in Nepal, with a strong emphasis on developing analytical, independent and lifelong learners.

The school uses hands-on experiential learning, project-based learning, social-emotional learning and service learning rather than relying primarily on traditional lecture-based teaching. Its campus includes purpose-designed classrooms, gardens, a farm area, dining facilities, music and dance spaces, and sports facilities.
