For over 75 years, Kanya Mandir Secondary School has stood at the heart of girls' education in Nepal — and today, that legacy shines brighter than ever. As one of the country's most respected academic institutions, Kanya Mandir continues to set the standard for what a girls' school in Nepal should look like: disciplined, empowering, and driven by excellence.
A Legacy Built on Excellence
Founded on 14th Chaitra, 2003 BS (March 27, 1947) near Chhatrapati Chowk, Kathmandu, Kanya Mandir was established with a single, powerful belief — that every girl deserves a world-class education. What began with just 13 students and five visionary founders has grown into a school that now educates over 3,500 girls every year, from Nursery through Grade 12.
That growth is no accident. It is the result of decades of committed teaching, a nurturing all-girls environment, and an unwavering focus on academic achievement.
Outstanding Academic Results, Year After Year
Kanya Mandir's academic record speaks for itself. With a 98% SEE pass rate, our students consistently rank among the top performers in Kathmandu — a testament to the quality of our faculty, the dedication of our students, and the strength of our curriculum.
Our NEB-affiliated +2 programs in Humanities, Management, and Education have produced graduates who have gone on to lead in every field — from medicine and law to business, civil service, and the arts. Each year, our students prove that a Kanya Mandir education is not just a qualification — it is a foundation for life.
More Than a School — A Movement
What truly sets Kanya Mandir apart is not just academic performance. It is the confidence, leadership, and character that every student develops during her time here.
Through student clubs, sports events, cultural programmes, arts, and community service, our girls grow into well-rounded individuals who are ready to contribute meaningfully to Nepali society. Our motto — ज्ञान नै शक्ति (Knowledge is Power) — is not just written on a wall. It is lived every day by every student who walks through our gates.
A School Parents Trust, Students Love
Families across Kathmandu and beyond choose Kanya Mandir because they know what this school represents: safety, quality, and genuine care for every girl's future. With 50+ experienced and dedicated teachers, a government-approved and NEB-affiliated curriculum, and a campus culture rooted in respect and discipline, Kanya Mandir offers something no other school in Nepal can — a 75-year promise to every girl that her education matters.
Looking Ahead
As we move into the future, Kanya Mandir remains committed to evolving with the times — integrating modern technology, expanding opportunities for students, and continuing to produce the next generation of Nepal's women leaders.
We are proud of where we have come from. We are even more excited about where our students are going.
