A nurturing home for every learner
NIST Tarapunja School was built on a simple belief — children learn best when they feel safe, seen, and genuinely curious. From our Montessori room to Grade 8, our teachers combine structured academics with warmth, so every student leaves each day a little more confident than they arrived.
Our school in Banepa brings together modern classrooms, a dedicated computer lab, a well-stocked library, and open sports grounds — all within a secured, supervised environment.
What makes learning here different
Activity-Based Learning
Lessons move beyond the textbook with hands-on projects, experiments, and group activities in every subject.
Smart Classrooms
Interactive boards and digital tools bring lessons to life while keeping class sizes small and personal.
Safe School
A gated, supervised school with trained staff, so parents can trust every hour their child spends with us.

To supplement rapid social, economic and technological transformation. Given such a dynamic situation, we have adopted the latest pedagogic principles, viz. enquiry, activity–based and problem–solving approaches to classroom teaching and learning, and will continue to evolve in the days ahead. Likewise, for the holistic development of our students, we are also strengthening our arenas of extra–curricular activities. In addition, the safety and well–being of our students are our prime concern. I would also like to partner with our parents/guardians, and seek their active participation and continued support in creating a safe and stimulating learning environment for our children at SHEMROCK. I appreciate, and express my heartfelt gratitude to all our parents for putting trust in us for educating their children. I assure our parents/guardians that we will make the Shemrock NIST Tarapunja School Banepa the first choice of parents to educate their children with international standards of learning in Banepa.
To supplement the learning materials, we have special edition books, customized workbooks, activity-based writing books, educational DVDs, etc. exclusively designed, developed & made available for our SHEMROCKites in Preschool and have a standard curriculum designed by experts and academicians of NIST Foundation for school level. These learning materials are carefully implemented by our capable and trained teachers with comprehensive & child-centered lesson plans which are researched & designed centrally at the Head Office, New Delhi and NIST Foundation, Kathmandu.
We focus on the holistic development of the child in a progressive approach where each child gets the opportunity of learning in a soothing environment. We emphasize the discussion about the challenges of the 21st century from the school level for their mental readiness to cope with the future consequences. As always, we acknowledge and value the feedback of our parents/guardians, and improve upon it.
