“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Lao – Tzu
Welcome to BernHardt!
It is with great pleasure and pride that I welcome you to Kathmandu BernHardt Secondary School/College—an institution where dreams take flight, lives are transformed, and visions are turned into reality.
I feel honored to be part of a legacy led by inspiring and dedicated leaders who, over the years, have shaped BernHardt into a center of educational excellence in Nepal. Their tireless efforts laid the foundation for a school rooted in strong values, rich culture, and meaningful traditions—providing clear direction and purpose to every member of the BernHardt family, especially our students, as they grow into well-rounded individuals.
Our vision is clear: to nurture lifelong learners and global citizens who embody leadership, integrity, and a deep appreciation for their cultural identity. This vision is brought to life every day in our classrooms through the passion and commitment of our teachers, and in the wide range of activities we offer that foster creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration.
Celebrating over 25 years of excellence in education, we remain committed to shaping knowledgeable, compassionate, and capable individuals who go on to inspire change and contribute meaningfully to the world.
In today’s rapidly evolving world—driven by technology, globalization, and complex social dynamics—the traditional methods of teaching and parenting are no longer enough. We face growing challenges: fragmented families, overexposure to media, lack of quality time, and identity struggles among youth. These realities demand that we, as educators and parents, become more proactive, supportive, and collaborative.
Adolescence is a transformative phase, marked by constant change and emotional growth. In guiding our students through this journey, we must adopt a balanced approach—being firm yet empathetic, vigilant yet nurturing. It is through consistent love, understanding, and guidance that we can shape confident, resilient, and responsible individuals.
At BernHardt, we believe that determination, coupled with vision, leads to excellence. When driven by a strong ‘can-do’ spirit, there is no limit to what one can achieve. This belief forms the backbone of our success and the essence of our educational philosophy.
On behalf of the entire BernHardt family, I extend my warmest wishes for your personal, academic, and professional journey. Together, let’s continue building a future filled with hope, opportunity, and purpose.
“Do not worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.”
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
