Budhanilkantha School (CEEB Code: 689070), located in the capital city, Kathmandu, is the government designated National School of Nepal. It is a fully residential English medium school established in December 1972 with the joint cooperation of the Government of Nepal and the Government of the United Kingdom (UK). In the first two decades of its operation, the school was headed by a succession of British Headmasters who did an excellent job of establishing and shaping the school into a “Center of Excellenceâ€. The school was handed over to the Nepalese management in 1994 and since then it has continued to maintain the same high standards in all fronts. At present, the number of faculty is 77 and the non - teaching staff is 160 with student faculty ratio of almost 13:1._x000D_ _x000D_ The School is managed under the Public Trust, the main Trustee being the Ministry of Education. The Board of Trustees and the School Management Committee (SMC) are chaired by the Education Secretary and the Joint Secretary respectively.

The scholarship is provided to the meritorious and the needy ones from the weak social, economic and geographical backgrounds and from all the seventy-seven districts of Nepal. The main entry of the students takes place in grade 5 and these students go on to take the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) at the end of grade 10.

In 1991, the school was made co-educational. At present there are six houses for girls and eight for boys. Senior students reside in four different Houses (Byasrishi and Gaurishankar for boys, and Choyu and Ratnachuli for girls) that are under the charge of Heads of Houses. The school has been demonstrating that it is not only able to achieve excellent results in the SEE and NEB Examinations, but also achieve results significantly above international averages in the Cambridge International A-Levels of the University of Cambridge, UK. The school has, therefore, been awarded the prestigious Birendra Vidya Award several times by the Ministry of Education (a national honor for academic excellence) and in effect a public recognition that Budhanilkantha is one of the best schools in the country. In fact, it has been regularly topped the list of good schools in Nepal.
