What St. Xavier's School, Jawalakhel, Nepal does

St. Xavier's School, Jawalakhel is a private Jesuit K-12 institution located in Lalitpur, Nepal, founded in 1951 as the first academic institution established by the Society of Jesus in Nepal. The school operates a single campus at Jawalakhel providing education across 12 grade levels (Grades 1-12), structured into Elementary School (Grades 1-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), High School (Grades 9-10), and Plus Two (Grades 11-12) under a unified administration. It is owned and operated by the Nepal Jesuit Society, a branch of the global Society of Jesus, with Jesuit priests serving in Superior, Principal, and Vice Principal roles. The school follows Ignatian Pedagogy grounded in 'Finding God in All Things' philosophy and offers co-curricular programs including Scout, Games, Music & Dance, Hiking Club, and Outreach Club.

The school generates revenue primarily through tuition and academic fees for Classes 1-12, with annual fee structures published for the academic year (e.g., 2026-027), supplemented by entrance examination fees and admission processing fees. A supplementary Fund-a-Child scholarship program collects charitable donations via eSewa and Khalti digital payment platforms to support economically disadvantaged but academically strong students. Admissions use a random draw/lottery system for Class 1 (ages 5.5-6.5) and an entrance examination (Maths, Science, English, IQ) plus interview for Class 11, with both processes managed through the inGrails school management platform. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the campus and the school website, with community engagement through events such as School Mela, Sports Days, Parents' Nights, and PTMs under a community-led GTM motion.
