About Us


St Xavier's School (Est-1951) was the first academic institution established by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in Nepal. Currently, it consists of student cohorts in twelve levels from Grade 1 to Grade 12 and operates an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school under a single administration. One of the oldest private schools in the country, St. Xavier's has historically been considered an inclusive institution for students from all walks of life. The alumni of this institution have traditionally occupied high ranking positions within the government, bureaucracy, military or in other distinguished professions nationwide.

St. Xaviers Original Crest


St. Xavier's School Original crest was developed and built by Fr. James J. Dressman, S.J and Fr. Ed Niesen, S.J. It represents the whole meaning of this Jesuit enterprise.


The White "X" represents Xavier.

Nepal: The Himalayas supplying the water for the fertile fields and the country’s greatest resource, even for export. It carries all the symbolism of fertility, both natural and intellectual.

The official seal of the Society of Jesus: The worldwide religious organization operating the school. IHS is the monogram for Jesus and is placed inside the Jesuit Sun.

Godavari: Identified by the ever-flowing fountain of water sprouting up from the fish pond swimming pool. It springs up out of a lotus with its symbolism of Knowledge and purity.

Lamp of Knowledge: Producing not just knowledge, but the wisdom to know how to use it. It also means that wisdom and knowledge to be used to light up the lives of others.

Live for God: This phrase signifies one’s relationship with God and the need to be connected to an Almighty. Our life is a gift from God and we must live in such way that it is pleasing to God. It calls each Xavierian to be spiritual in all that he/she does.

Lead for Nepal: This phrase signifies one’s responsibility towards the nation and the call to be a true citizen of our great nation. Each Xavierian is expected to be an example of true citizen and to be a leader for the welfare of the nation.

(The School Motto 'Live for God, Lead for Nepal' was developed by Mr. Chiranjeevi Karki in 1964. He was in class seven then.)
