Message From The Principal

September 2, 2012  |  Posted by Admin

St. Xavier’s College maintains a very special place in the academic landscape of Nepal. Our great strength lies in our continuous endeavour to rise above the standards of excellence we continuously redefine for ourselves and for the students in turn. In striving to keep ourselves and our students at the helm of the latest in academics and technology, we do not forget that much of what goes into the making of a successful person is a healthy mindset and strong values. In addition to the holistic grooming of our students, we encourage students to pursue their intellectual curiosity, which could most often overstep the boundaries of the classroom.

The upkeep of the brand that the Jesuits have laboriously built over the years is anything but easy. And it isn’t any easier on the students who make up this very brand. However, the strength of an indomitable spirit to constantly rise above ourselves is what propels each of us – students and teachers – to never falter in our vision of excellence.

With time, all that you have studied and memorised will fade in its grandeur, but what remains are the virtues of tenacity, heroism and a strong sense of justice, among many, that St. Xavier’s imbues in every Xavierian. After your formation in St. Xavier’s, much is expected of you. You are no longer a student, but a Xaverian leader and the solution to many a challenge that plague the society and country as a whole.

Welcome to St. Xavier’s College family.

God bless you.

About the College

September 2, 2012  |  Posted by Admin

St. Xavier's College, Kathmandu, is an educational institution of higher learning established in 1988 and managed by the Nepal Jesuit Society. Jesuits began their educational work in Nepal in 1951 with the opening of St. Xavier's School, Godavari, followed by St. Xavier's School, Jawalakhel and St. Xavier's School, Deonia.

Jesuits have served people of all faiths, all over the world, as educators, scientists, explorers and social reformers since 1540. That centuries old tradition of service to others is the cornerstone of Jesuit education. Education at Xavier's prepares each student to live and lead in all the endeavors. It fosters critical thinking, positive action and service to others. It challenges students to go beyond career preparation. It encourages the student to be job creators rather than job seekers, creative designers of the future.
