[[File:Sarswoti temple.jpg|thumb|alt= | ''[[Saraswati]]'' (the goddess of learning) Temple at Budhanilkantha School]]
Similarly, the SLC result are equally good and the school regularly secures a number of positions on the board (the first 10 positions are considered board positions in the SLC Exams), in addition to excellent overall result In the 1996 A-Level exams, ten students secured triple A's, a stupendous achievement by any account. The school not only achieves high academic standards but also imparts multi-dimensional skills and leadership qualities through an array of sports and extra curricular activities. Among others, it produces high quality drama (both in the senior and junior levels) and holds exciting debates.
Budhanilkantha School was established in 1972 as a joint venture between the governments of Nepal and the United Kingdom. The first batch of students took the School Leaving Certificate Examination (the national exam that is equivalent to the British [[O-Level|O level]]) in 1980. In 1983, English was made the official language of instruction at Budhanilkantha School. Cambridge International [[GCE Advanced Level|A level]] and [[O level]], administered by [[Cambridge Assessment International Education|CAIE]] of the [[University of Cambridge]] was introduced in 1985 and 1986 respectively.


The school is managed by a Board Of Governors (BOG) consisting of the Chairman (nominated by MOE); a representative of the British Embassy; Joint Secretary, Ministry of Education and Sports; Director, Central Region Education Directorate; a representative from the palace; two representative from the parents; the chairperson of the Friends Of Budhanilkantha School (FOBS) and the principle of the School as member-secretary. In the first 2 decades of its operation, the school was managed by a succession of British head-masters.
Budhanilkantha School converted from a boys' [[single sex school|single-sex school]] to a [[co-educational]] institution in 1992. Co-education at Budhanilkantha has been successful.


In 1994, the British management handed over the administration to Nepalese management.

==Overview==
The school is a full boarding school for students from 5th grade to [[A-Level|A level]], aged 10 to 19.


'''Budhanilkantha School''' is a public boarding school in [[Nepal]]. The school campus occupies an area of 300 ropanis (1 ropanis=5476 sq. feet) and is located at the base of Shivapuri mountain, far north of the Kathmandu valley. Instructions start from the 4th grade through high school.  
Although the school is governed as a Public Educational Trust, it charges tuition fees for most students and also receives funding from the Ministry of Education. This makes the school a blend of [[Private school|private]] and [[Public school (government-funded)|public school]]. Approximately one-third of the students receive [[scholarships]] based on merit and need.

The main objective of the school is to produce quality man-power in the country in order to provide valuable assistance in the national development. A complete description of the precise purpose of the school is to conduct the national education program, which includes the provision of knowledge or learning skills and to generate the creative abilities in order to enable the students to lead country forward.
==Academics==
The school operates three courses of study:
#[[School Leaving Certificate (Nepal)|School Leaving Certificate]] level (a nationwide curriculum up to class 10 prescribed by the [[Department of Education (Nepal)|Department of Education]] of Nepal),

The school was boys oriented until 1991 when it was declared as a co-educational institution. The year was very significant and a milestone in the history of the school as it saw the introduction of the first batch of girls into the system. Co-education at Budhanilkantha has indeed been very successful. Many brilliant girls have, too come a long way after graduating from the school.
Students must pass an entrance exam to gain admission into the school. Normally, entrance examinations are taken for entry into class 5 and post SLC levels. This is intended to continue the high academic status of the school.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://bnks.edu.np/2010/05/12/a-level-entrance-examination/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=2010-09-22 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100721074535/http://bnks.edu.np/2010/05/12/a-level-entrance-examination/ |archive-date=2010-07-21 }}</ref>

The current principal of the school is Mr. Narayan Prasad Sharma.There are currently four vice principals in the school; Mr. Keshar Khulal (Lower Secondary Level),Mr Romesh Nath Dawadi ([[Higher Secondary Level]]), Mr Lal Bahadur Rana (Extra curricular) & Mr. Chaitanya Nath Pandey (Administrative). Almost all  of the teachers also live within the school campus making it easier for the school to conduct classes during bandhs and strikes. Because of these circumstances many argue that Budhanilkantha School is an educational bubble greatly lacking in providing a thriving environment for social skill development. Others criticize it as a launching ground for both students and teachers alike to go abroad. Apart from this, the school is considered mostly without fault producing a number of highly successful graduates each year. The school also sends a number of graduates to foreign institutions of higher learning, especially in the United States. Budhanilkantha  alumni usually perform well in even the most prestigious institutions, like [[Ivy League]] Universities, the most recent example being Budhanilkantha 2002 graduate [[Prabesh Regmi]], who graduated [[Magna Cum Laude]] from the [[Wharton School]] of Business, of the [[University of Pennsylvania]].
