What Lincoln School Nepal does

Lincoln School Nepal is an independent, co-educational day school founded in 1954 in the Rabi Bhawan area of Kathmandu, Nepal, operating from a single campus in the foothills of the Himalaya. It delivers an American college-preparatory curriculum organized across three divisions — Elementary School (Early Childhood Education through Grade 5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), and High School (Grades 9-12) — culminating in an American high school diploma. The student body comprises families representing over twenty-five nationalities, drawing primarily from Kathmandu's expatriate and diplomatic community.

The school's product surface is anchored by its three academic divisions, augmented by a one-to-one device program (iPads from Primary 1 through Grade 3; MacBook laptops in Grades 4-5), a library collection of over 14,000 print and digital resources integrated with Overdrive/Sora, TumbleBooks, JSTOR, and Kindle Books, world-language instruction in French and Spanish, an advisory program, and a Service Nepal program built on a 25-year partnership with Borderlands. Technology integration is paired with a Digital Citizenship Curriculum and supported by Google OAuth authentication for the school community portal.

Revenue is generated exclusively through recurring tuition and fees from enrolled students, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The school markets via its website, virtual tour, OpenApply admissions platform, and active participation in the South Asian International Schools Association (SAISA) athletic and academic conferences. Distribution is entirely on-campus in Kathmandu, with no satellite or online programs. The school operates as a nonprofit educational organization without disclosed parent company, venture backing, or M&A history.
