Students of grades I – VIII are in the elementary school program of the Ullens School Kathmandu. In the primary grades (I–V), we have a grade teaching system.
Each classroom has two instructors to teach core subjects resulting in a smaller student-teacher ratio. From grade six onwards, students move about the building to subject-specific classrooms and laboratories. Core subject teachers across the grades make a special effort to collaborate with teachers of other subjects and departments, such as physical education, art, music, drama, Nepal Bhasa and Mandarin, for a more integrated and holistic learning experience.
Learning to give
Ullens School Kathmandu encourages students to become responsible members of society while they are still young.
Service Learning
At Ullens, we try to develop a lifelong passion for service in our students so that they feel empowered to make a difference in the lives of others. Students are taught coordination and leadership skills, effective communication, and implementation strategies to meet their intended goals for service. Under adult guidance, students create, initiate, make decisions about, and complete their projects. They are expected to keep a record of their project through journaling, a log, and reflective essays. The long term goal is for the students to become compassionate and caring adults who look for positive solutions to challenges and have the desire and skills to take on a call to action.
