Budhanilkantha School
Budhanilkantha School is Nepal's premier boarding high school and middle school. It was established in 1972 with the aim being the national school of Nepal where gifted children from all of Nepali districts could get educated, including those of poor backgrounds who would otherwise not receive a strong education. The school was a boys-only school until 1995, after which, with the change of administration from a British agency to a Nepali one, it became a coeducational school.
It is located on the outskirts of Kathmandu valley.
