Personal Approach

Every student is assigned to a Pastoral Faculty Member who is responsible for supervising students’ overall academic progress and university applications. An afternoon is set aside every week in the last six months of the program to concentrate on university entrance, study skills and other activities that enrich and support their academic work, during which they are supervised by senior professionals. Students have an informal daily supervised prep time at the end of morning lessons.

Studying

Classroom learning takes place between the hours of 7 am and 2 pm on weekdays. The academy is open outside these hours and on Saturdays to allow students to complete their work and engage in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities.

The academy has highly qualified Faculty Members, many of whom have postgraduate qualifications and extensive experience. The majority have been with the academy for some years.
 
Classes average six to ten students for each subject. This small number enables an outstanding degree of personal attention to the needs of each student and ensures an animated and productive atmosphere in the classroom. Students are encouraged to seek extra help from their faculties outside lesson times. As examinations approach, additional preparatory coursework and practical examinations are provided. Delivery of examination technique is a key focus of all subjects.

Reports on student progress are issued three times each year and include comments on grades, effort, attendance and punctuality. Students benefit from the high expectations of the academy, and those who fail to submit work on time will be supervised until the work is completed.

Past and specimen examination questions provide a focus for all subjects. Students are tested regularly and formal examinations take place frequently in supervised, timed conditions. Excellent examination results are critically founded on confidence and motivation, both of which are nurtured by our intensive approach.

Outcomes

The abilities to grasp ideas in their full complexity, to think creatively, to communicate clearly and to make connections across multiple disciplines are crucial, both for a profession and for further studies. These abilities are developed most fully not through a particular choice of subject but through a kind of education. They are the cornerstones of Kathmandu Academy education.

The students extend their learning beyond the classroom for study, group assignments, and interactions with other invitees. These distinctive opportunities – together with thoughtful guidance from Faculty Members and professionals at the academy – help students develop solid foundations upon which to build satisfying futures.
