What started as Gyanodaya Bal Batika Pre-Primary School in 1975 today stands tall as a full-fledged Secondary School at Sanepa, Lalitpur, Nepal, that goes by the name: Gyanodaya Bal Batika School.

As the tiny toddlers grew up, so did the School with them. Under the dynamic supervision, untiring efforts, care and dedication of its Founder Principal, Mrs. Indira Yakthumba, it continually upgraded itself --- into a Primary School in 1979, Lower Secondary School in 1984 before finally blossoming into a full-fledged Secondary School in 1986. The School produced its first SLC graduates in 1989.

Presently, it has a student population of over 1500 students. While initially it catered to the needs of both day and boarding students, with the ever growing student population it is today an exclusive day school. The residential needs are met by the Gyanodaya Residential School developed and built exclusively for boarding students.

Dear Parents & Guardians,

Welcome to Gyanodaya Bal Batika Day and Residential Schools. If you have not visited us as yet, please do contact the School to arrange a visit. It shall be our pleasure to show you all around the School.

All parents would want their children to receive the best education. So choosing a Secondary School for your children is one of the most important decisions you will have to make. Your decision shall truly mark an investment in the future of your children. We are fully in agreement that all parents would want to consider all options available to them and make that investment wisely. I hope the information contained in this Web Site will help you make an informed judgment and take the right decision. The site attempts to give you a real flavour of Gyanodaya Bal Batika School and what makes it so special for your children. I may say that here at Gyanodaya we are large enough to offer a complete range of subjects at all levels of school education and professional enough to ensure that every child is taught in a stimulating and challenging environment. Just as importantly, however, we are small enough to care about every individual child. Every child matters at Gyanodaya.

My aim as the Founder Principal is to promote a secure and healthy atmosphere in the School where every child is valued and encouraged to realize her or his full potential, not only in the classroom but also in a wide range of extra and co-curricular activities. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than celebrating the accomplishments of my children and rewarding their achievements during the School Assembly.

At the heart of our School is the commitment to teaching and learning with a strong emphasis on the quality of personal relationships between the teachers and the taught and among the children themselves as well.

It is my sincere hope that is the impression you get , if and when you visit us, and leave our premises fully convinced that Gyanodaya Bal Batika School is indeed the right centre for learning for your child.

Let me once again say that it will be a pleasure to receive you all at the School.

With my best wishes,

Indira Yakthumba
Founder Principal
