Over the past four years, Imperial World School has played an important role in shaping the intellectual and extracurricular development of my child, Shatakshi Bhatta. Right before COVID-19 started in 2020, my wife and I were searching for a school that would provide personal attention and care to students. We were looking for a school that would provide our daughter with a personalized learning platform, helping her to succeed. One day, Shatakshi came up to me and showed the website of Imperial World School. After watching videos of all the activities and events organized by the school, our daughter was eager to learn more about it. This prompted us to visit the school in-person and talk to the administration. While at the school premises, witnessing the earthquake-resistant building and a well-thought-out curriculum led us to immediately enroll our daughter.

Shatakshi started her journey at IWS in 5th grade and we’ve witnessed her develop significantly both personally and academically in the last four years. Today, our daughter is in 9thgrade, and I am very happy with the progress she has made. Whether it has been about seeing her succeed academically, engage in presentations or debate during exit points, We are happy to witness many milestones she has achieved. This would not have been possible without the huge support of the IWS family and staff members who work so hard to ensure student success.

Namaste and greetings dear parents and friends.

Myself Dr. Nripesh Rajbhandari and my wife Uni Rajbhandari, parents of Nur Udaya (Grade VII) and Nova Rajbhandari (Grade V) are delighted to share our exceptional experience with the school.

Both of our children have been studying in Imperial world school since grade Nursery.

The academic program (IPC, IMYC and national curriculum) and holistic approach of IWS are truly commendable. These curriculums are designed to challenge students while nurturing their individual strengths and interests. My children are thriving academically, benefiting from the school’s emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.

They educate students on other important topics such as hygiene, nutrition, mental health, sexual health and the importance of regular physical activity.

There is availability of counseling services for students to address issues such as stress, anxiety, bullying, and peer pressure.

The teachers and school management are extraordinary. Their dedication and passion for teaching and learning are evident. They foster an environment where learning is engaging and enjoyable, ensuring that the children are not only well-educated but also excited about their studies.

Every child is different, their mental thinking and learning capabilities are different needing well structured teaching techniques that can be ensured only through well trained and keen faculty personnel. The personalised attention each student receives is remarkable and has made a significant impact on my children’s academic journey.

As a paediatric surgeon, I appreciate the school’s commitment to health and well-being. The emphasis on physical education, mental health, and balanced nutrition aligns perfectly with my professional values. The school’s proactive approach to creating a safe and supportive environment gives us great peace of mind.

Extracurricular opportunities at IWS are diverse and enriching. My children have discovered new talents and passions through various clubs and activities, ranging from sports, music and arts to science and technology. These programs have greatly contributed to their personal development and social skills.

The school hosts numerous events that bring families together, fostering a strong network of support and friendship. There are regular PTMs and other sessions where parents can discuss their child’s progress with the faculty and device new strategies which can nullify miscommunication and solve problems; sharing the common interests together for the benefit of the child. This inclusive atmosphere has made our experience even more rewarding.

The overall organisational structure, architecture and environment of the school is safe and welcoming. The classrooms are well ventilated and well lit, in addition they are well prepared for emergency/disaster management creating a safe place away from home.

In conclusion, Imperial world school has surpassed our expectations in every way. It provides an exceptional education while promoting the well-being and holistic development of its students.

As both parents and professionals, we are grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our children and our family.

I We would like to personally thank the school’s principal Mrs. Junita Karki and chairman Mr. Kumar Karki for this opportunity to share our thoughts and experiences.

Have a good day

As a parent, one of my worries was finding the appropriate school in the Kathmandu Valley. Working in the field of education for several years, I had few expectations as a parent. I became satisfied when I enrolled my child in Imperial World School. The most important reason is the learning environment the school created, with enough open spaces, a resourceful library, labs, and a dedicated team of teachers and administrators. Next, the careful blend of academic activities and the exposure to several extracurricular activities while my child got enough exposure to sports and other activities. The incorporation of the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) added another value to integrated teaching and sustainable development. The frequent communication with parents and individual care for the students enhanced my child’s learning. At one of the family functions, one of my relatives asked my son, “Babu, do you want to study at other schools if your parents enroll you? He came to me and said, “Baba, please, I will study at IWS until grade 10. I don’t want to change the school.” This also shows my child’s emotional attachment to the school family.

In the coming days, I wish the school all the best.

I have known IWS since its inception and long before my son was born. The second time I encountered IWS was after the 2015 earthquake. The school seemed severely affected by the earthquake and was on the verge of a crisis. The third time was during its rebuilding phase. And they did indeed “build back better”. Both my husband and I were very impressed by the zeal, persistence, resilience and relentless determination of the founder - chairman and his team to establish a good school. As a result , we decided to enroll our son in this school.

It has been two years since our son enrolled in IWS and we are immensely grateful for the transformative impact the school environment and dedicated teachers have had on his growth and development. A testament to this progress is his newfound proficiency in Nepali writing. Just two years ago, he struggled to compose even a single paragraph in Nepali. However, we are now bursting with pride as he has independently crafted a captivating story in Nepali , which is published in the short story collection book of IWS this year.

This achievement is particularly meaningful to us, as it stems from his early exposure to bed time storytelling, which I shared with him as a part of our family’s history in “Nepal Bhasha”. Through the guidance of his teachers, he skillfully translated his imagination into words, weaving together elements from his greatgranduncle’s real life story into a compelling narrative. We couldn’t be prouder of his creativity and linguistic mastery. It is a true reflection of an exceptional teaching at IWS.

Unlike traditional method schools, which typically emphasize rote learning and adherence to established curriculum and rules, IWS focuses on student-centered learning an hands-on experiences that help foster creativity, critical thinking and adaptability. While there may be some challenges in standardization or assessments, the benefits of IWS’s approach are evident in the well-rounded development of its students. If the ambition of the school management, dedication and professionalism of teachers, and collaboration of parents come together, we are confident that IWS will undoubtedly become the alma mater that our children will proudly cherish for a life time !

Thank you and wish you all the best !
