Senior School

The secondary school program consists of students of grades IX and X and the Nepal Government’s NEB (then HSEB) Program. Like other programs of the Ullens School, the students of secondary school also experience a holistic learning experience courtesy to the teaching-learning pedagogy.

Our students are involved in numerous and diverse activities that aim to encourage creativity, independent critical thinking, and international mindedness.

Ullens NEB (10+2) Program is a rigorous two-year higher secondary program that enables motivated students to become well-rounded, dynamic people.

We began the 10+2 program in 2011. Our graduates are prepared not only to excel in examinations but also to deal with real-life scenarios – the hallmark of Ullens School’s philosophy.

Our program’s uniqueness lies in its focus on creativity and critical thinking through curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.

Academic Advising

Academic advising is an integral part of the Grade 11 & 12 programs at Ullens School. Advisers help students understand university admissions criteria and requirements and advise them on how to select a university and a course of study. Students are ensured that support, feedback, and opportunities for reflection are part of their Ullens experience.

Internship

Students are required to do a four-week internship after the end of their first year in the program. We believe the internship is an integral part of preparing students for life after school. It aims to:

Help students apply the knowledge and techniques they learn in the first year to real-world situations, and to test and enrich students’ understanding, knowledge and skills in practical scenarios
Teach students how organizations operate
Provide a platform for a deeper understanding of specific functional areas
Help students explore career opportunities in their area of interest

Extracurricular Activities

The school offers curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular activities, such as music, dance, sports and academic clubs. These activities offer opportunities for students to learn the values of physical strength and endurance, teamwork, individual and group responsibilities, diversity, and a sense of culture and community. Extracurricular activities provide a channel for reinforcing the lessons learned in the classroom, offering students the opportunity to apply academic skills in a real-world context, and are thus considered part of a well-rounded education
