"Lincoln School in Kathmandu, Nepal, is an American-curriculum school serving students from preschool through grade 12."
As a U. S. State Department assisted school, it is part of a global network of overseas schools that receive support from the Office of Overseas Schools, a designation that reflects the school's commitment to providing a quality American-style education to the international community abroad. The school follows an American educational framework, offering families — particularly those from the United States and other English-speaking countries — a sense of continuity and academic familiarity as they navigate the demands of an overseas posting. The American curriculum structure means that students moving to or from Lincoln School can expect a relatively seamless transition in terms of academic expectations, course sequencing, and the overall rhythm of the school year. Lincoln School has long served as a cornerstone of the international community in Kathmandu, welcoming the children of diplomats, development workers, NGO professionals, and expat families who find themselves living and working in Nepal's vibrant and culturally rich capital. The school brings together students from a wide range of nationalities and backgrounds, creating a diverse and globally minded community that reflects the international character of Kathmandu itself. English serves as the primary language of instruction, making Lincoln School an accessible option for English-speaking families relocating to Nepal, while also providing an immersive English-language environment for international students whose first language may be something other than English. Kathmandu is one of South Asia's most historically layered and culturally dynamic cities, and Lincoln School is situated within this extraordinary setting. For families considering a posting in Nepal, the school offers not only academic grounding but also the rare opportunity for children to grow up with exposure to Himalayan culture, ancient traditions, and a landscape unlike anywhere else in the world. The school community tends to be close-knit by nature, as is common in international schools in smaller expatriate postings, and families often find that the relationships built within the Lincoln School community extend well beyond the classroom. What distinguishes Lincoln School is the combination of a recognizable American academic foundation delivered within one of the world's most unique and compelling locations. For parents seeking a school that can provide their children with both academic consistency and a genuinely broadening international experience, Lincoln School represents a thoughtful and well-supported choice in the heart of Nepal.
