Since 1992 · Kathmandu, Nepal

Education for life.
Values for a lifetime.

Sathya Sai School is an English-medium, co-educational residential school near Pashupatinath in Kathmandu. From nursery through Grade 10, we bring academic learning together with character, compassion and service.

Founded in 1992, the school draws inspiration from Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s teaching: “Education is for life, not merely for a living.” Our teachers guide children in a caring environment where human values are lived every day.

Certificate granting Sathya Sai School of Nepal Accredited Sathya Sai School status, October 2026

Humble beginnings. Enduring purpose.

More than three decades of faith and service

1992–1993

The beginning

A small school was established in Kathmandu to provide education rooted in human values. The following year, Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba blessed a group of its teachers and the Principal with the words, “Every good work is God’s work.”

A shared commitment

A school sustained by its teachers

After early operational difficulties, a group of teachers took responsibility for running the school independently. It moved to Gaushala, near Pashupatinath, continuing its work despite limited resources and recurring challenges.

2015 & the COVID pandemic

A refuge for the community

Following the 2015 earthquake, the school opened its free kitchen to neighbours and surrounding communities. During the pandemic, it provided free food to staff in need and people in the local area.

A caring school community

The November 2026 feature describes a school of around 160 students, supported by 26 teaching and 10 non-teaching staff. It celebrates the long-standing commitment of teachers and the close relationships that help children feel at home.

Students also practise leadership through school activities and the house system, learning responsibility and cooperation alongside their studies.
