The British School Kathmandu was established in Nepal in 1966 by a group of British and Commonwealth parents seeking a British-style education. It received official recognition from His Majesty's Government of Nepal on 7 July 1967 and has been under the patronage of the British Embassy. In 1997 it moved to Jhamsikhel, Lalitpur to include Key Stage 3, and in February 1998 His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales officially opened the new site. In August 2004 the school extended to offer A Levels, with the first graduating cohort in 2006. The British School Kathmandu now educates 585 students aged 3-18 from over 40 countries; it is a not-for-profit, non-selective school overseen by a Board of Governors and is a member of COBIS, FOBISIA and Quality Kathmandu Schools; it has received international awards including the Times Educational Supplement Independent School Awards 2016 (British International School Initiative of the Year) and the British International School Awards 2017 (Community Initiative of the Year).
