Kantipur English High School, an English-medium school, prides itself with its long and rich tradition of Academic Excellence through the legacy of its founder and incumbent principal Mrs. Subadra Shresta.
The inspiration to establish a school came to her in the early 1970’s while a student in Bangalore, India. A decade later, along with the support of her husband, she turned this dream into a reality. With the aim of becoming a center of academic excellence in Nepal and keeping in mind the perspective of providing quality education to the students of various caliber of the marginalized population, i.e. lower and middle class, the school formally opened its doors to the public in 1983.
With her admiration for knowledge and her appreciation of classical thought, Mrs. Shresta named the school Kantipur English School after Kantipur, the historic name of Kathmandu Valley where education, art, culture and trade thrived at its peak among the entire South Asian countries. The school’s motto, “Love, Learn and Serve”, reflects Mrs. Shresta’s belief in the value of learning and character formation for God and country.
