Ratanpande Secondary School

Ratanpande Secondary School is a public school located in the serene and scenic area of Kirakokhor, Ward No. 13 of Pokhara Metropolitan City in Kaski district. Established in 2014 B.S., it has been serving the local community for over six decades as an accessible educational institution. Being a government-supported school, it emphasizes quality education without high fees, making it an important pillar for families in the surrounding rural-urban fringe of Pokhara.

The school offers a comprehensive education from Early Childhood Development (ECD) level to Grade 12. At the higher secondary level (+2), it runs two main programs: Management and Education. This allows students to pursue career-oriented paths in business, commerce, teaching, or further studies in related fields, catering to diverse interests within the local community.

With a total enrollment of 197 students as per the 2081 IEMIS report from the Center for Education and Human Resource Development, Ratanpande Secondary School maintains a relatively small and intimate learning environment. This modest student strength enables more personalized attention from teachers and fosters a close-knit school community, which is often a strength in public schools of this size.

Facilities at the school are notably well-developed for a public institution. It has a well-equipped Science Laboratory with specialized practical materials, a modern Computer Lab, and a properly constructed academic building. Classrooms incorporate multimedia-based teaching methods to make lessons more interactive and engaging. Beyond academics, the school provides a peaceful learning atmosphere supported by a well-managed playground, promoting both physical activity and a calm environment conducive to studies.

Ratanpande Secondary School follows an Internal and External Continuous Assessment System, ensuring regular monitoring of student progress rather than relying solely on final exams. This approach helps the school students in holistic development and early identification of learning needs.
