Welcome to Lincoln School, a PS-12 learning environment for students and teachers from around the world. Founded in 1954, Lincoln has proudly served students and families from virtually every part of the world as they live and work in Nepal. Located in the shadow of the Himalayas, Lincoln strives to provide a student-centered environment that will challenge students to become life long learners and responsible citizens of the global community.

As you navigate through our website, I hope you’ll soon see that Lincoln School has a rich tradition of combining academics, athletics, and the arts along with programs that highlight the life and culture of Nepal.

We are proud to be fully accredited by both the New England Association of Schools and Colleges in the US and by the Council of International Schools in Europe. Additionally, we are members of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and the Near East South Asia (NESA) association of international schools.

Our students at Lincoln School come from more than 40 countries and are known for bringing a wonderful range of cultural and personal experience to the school. Indeed, our students have an established tradition of hard work, varied interests, community service, and a passion for learning.

Excellent teachers are at the heart of outstanding schools. Lincoln School teachers come from the USA, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Austria, the United Kingdom, France, and Nepal. Coming from a wide range of public and independent schools from around the world, they are talented teachers, writers, mentors, artists, athletes, coaches, and friends. Best of all, they enjoy working with the students of Lincoln School!

Drawing upon the best and most current research as well as the best practices of international education, the curriculum at Lincoln School seeks to create students who are critical thinkers and life-long learners. Like the best schools around the world, we at Lincoln are engaged in on-going curriculum review and revision, ensuring that our students are well prepared and able to transfer the knowledge and understandings gained in the classroom to the problems they confront in the world outside of Lincoln. At the high school level, we offer a wide range of Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which are university-level classes offered at Lincoln with an opportunity to earn college placement and/or credit based on externally graded exams in each discipline. Many of our 11th and 12th grade students take AP courses and virtually all of our graduates 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.

Once again, welcome to Lincoln School. Please feel free to contact us or visit us at any time.

Sincerely,

Phil Clinton
Director
