Curriculum[edit]
The school delivers a curriculum designed to meet the needs of each student through the application of Nepal’s National Curriculum. The Curriculum is taught via the "Developmental Interactive Approach". English is the medium of instruction. The primary curriculum includes the core areas of English and Nepali Language and Literacy, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Health and Physical Education, Creative and Expressive Arts, Information and Communications Technology and Vocational Education.
Students leave school to extend their knowledge and experience through educational field trips. This provides a direct first hand experience in learning as well as providing a stimulus for classroom work. In teaching English a high priority is placed on all aspects of literacy: speaking, listening, reading and writing, spelling and handwriting.
Art, music and drama rooms develop a student’s creativity, and confidence. New FIBS emphasize student’s performance skills. During Curriculum Night each term, parents are informed of their child’s grade curriculum.

Changes to the curriculum are made accordingly.
