The school has already completed more than two decades on its educational journey from its earlier introduction as Tarapunj Vidya Mandir, established in 1985. Maintaining its glorious and proud recognition, the school underwent a time-required transformation to accommodate the modern progressive paradigm of education into its educational philosophies.

With the strategic coping of many ups and downs along with numerous tests and trials, BernHardt Team is proud to present one of the foremost education institutions in the nation, a model of a city school – Kathmandu BernHardt Secondary School.
