national school of sciences
NIST National School of Sciences is a premier education institution, which was
established in 1993. It is situated at Lainchour, strategically important
location in the Kathmandu valley, and is one of the constituent institutions
under the NIST Foundation. The school has been conducting Plus 2 programme
(Grade 11 – 12), now Upper Secondary school classes, both in Science and
Management for the last three decades. The school follows the national
curriculum under the National Examination Board (NEB), Nepal. The school
management is planning to introduce other courses in Law, Arts and Humanities in
Grade 11–12 in the near future while the ultimate goal is to provide the
continuum of education from Pre–school to Grade 12 under the National School of
Sciences within the next few years. The NIST Foundation was initiated by a group
of scientists and academicians. The core objectives were to establish academic
institutions, and to provide students with quality education focusing primarily
on science and technology so as to promote the science education in the country.
At present, there are nine academic institutions including the National School
of Sciences under the NIST Foundation, and they run classes from Pre–school to
university level at different locations. The school has always emphasized the
academic excellence of students and fostered a culture of innovation and
collaboration. As a result, our students graduate with outstanding performance
in the board examinations every year. Today, many of its alumni are engaged in
the highly regarded professions and businesses within the country and abroad.
Nearly 1,000 students are enrolled annually in the Science and Management
Stream. The students are drawn from different provinces, diverse culture and
ethnicity allowing them to engage in intercultural understanding and to
experience a rich learning. The school provides students with ample
opportunities to engage in co–curricular and extra–curricular activities that
ensure their holistic development which enables them to succeed not only in
higher education but in life as well. In addition, the school instills in
students moral values such as integrity, responsibility, empathy, collaboration
and respect that are essential for students to be a good human being while
nurturing their full potential.
