The school has already completed more than two decades on its educational journey from its earlier introduction as Tarapunj Vidya Mandir, established in 1985.

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.
