The students at Lincoln School come from more than 40 countries. They tend to be highly committed and enthused about their education. They bring a wonderful range of cultural and personal experience to the school. LS students have an established tradition of hard work, varied interests, service, and a passion for learning. They are truly a pleasure to work with!

Excellent teachers are at the heart of outstanding schools. Our teachers come from the US, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Austria, the United Kingdom, France, and Nepal. They are highly trained and experienced educators who have proven records of adding value to the education of their students in a wide range of public and private schools throughout the world. Several of them have been recognized as the finest teachers in their region, state, or country. They are talented teachers, writers, mentors, artists, athletes, coaches, and friends. They enjoy working with the students of Lincoln School and are desirous of their success. In addition, nearly every classroom has a trained Nepali Teaching Assistant that works with the lead teacher and the students to provide an added level of personalized instruction.

At Lincoln we are committed to the education and development of our students in a variety of ways including: academic abilities; character and civility; communication and presentation skills; global awareness and environmental preservation; empathy and service; artistic appreciation and expression; technical literacy; and personal health, fitness, and well being. We are also committed to helping our students get to know their host country Nepal. In addition to Nepali language and cultural classes, our secondary students spend a full week away from campus as part of the Explore Nepal program.

The curriculum at LS is based on American standards and benchmarks with an international perspective. Lincoln School is one of a handful of international schools using the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) which is a state of the art computerized assessment taken three times a year. The MAP assessment is used to identify individual student skill levels in core academics and to guide instruction. At the high school level, a wide range of Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered. These rigorous courses are essentially university level classes offered in high school with an opportunity to earn college placement and/or credit based on exam scores. Most of our 11-12 grade students take AP courses and nearly all attend colleges and universities after graduating from Lincoln School.

Lincoln School is a member of the South Asia International Schools Association (SAISA) and our secondary students participate in a variety of sports, art, music, and academic activities within the league. In addition to annual SAISA Music and Art Festivals, there are competitions in volleyball, basketball, swimming, tennis, soccer, track & field, and math. Our students report that their SAISA activities are among the highlights of their Lincoln School experience.

Once again, welcome to Lincoln School. Please feel free to contact us at any time. We trust this will be a valuable and memorable year for your children at LS.

Sincerely,

Allan Bredy
Director
