it's as simple as MIT, Harvard & Standford holding their own against thousands of schools all over the world. why can't Xavier's, Mary's and Budhanilkantha hold their own in nepal? not all students who attend these schools are rich and talented kids. the schools are pioneers & are epoch-making in setting an education trend in nepal. have you not noticed, thousands of 'boarding' schools in nepal emulate the above mentioned schools? also the facilities provided by these schools were an envy at one point (maybe not anymore). add to it among the cheapest tuition fees. these are amongst the many reasons why most parents think about these schools first and foremost to get their kids admitted to. have you heard anyone saying, if they had a choice, they will not admit? at least not the majority. parents know the value! they know their kids will be embraced by society, just by mentioning where he or she went to school. it's that wow factor, no matter what you say because society has accepted and thinks that these schools provide amongst the best education in nepal. period.
