The New Summit Secondary School, also called The New Summit School, is a private co-educational school in Maitidevi, Kathmandu. Collegenp describes it as offering education from nursery to Grade 10, affiliated with and approved by Nepal's National Examinations Board (NEB). It has operated in central Kathmandu for more than three decades.
History and background
Sources disagree about when the school was founded. Collegenp and the Virtual Edu Fair Nepal directory both give 1990 (2046 BS), and Edusanjal refers to more than 35 years of teaching. The school's own website gives 2055 BS. The website also says the school is managed under the Phoenix Education Network.
Older directory entries describe The New Summit as more than a basic school. They mention a higher secondary section with science, commerce and humanities streams, and a college that taught BBS and BCsIT. The same entries note the school's SLC results and its record in inter-school dance, music, martial arts and chess competitions. The school's current website concentrates on the school level.
Kathmandu has a separate institution called New Summit College, based at Shantinagar/Tinkune, which runs +2 and Tribhuvan University programmes. Some directories mix up the two. This listing covers the Maitidevi school.
