KUHS was founded in 1998 as an integral part of Kathmandu University. It shares its site and resources with KU and is governed by a Management Committee appointed by the Vice Chancellor. It is a wholly non-profit making institution.

In 2002, it moved to its present beautiful hilltop campus on the Sindhuli Highway about 2 miles south of Dhulikhel. It shares this site with KU Medical School. The excellent buildings were designed by the Danish architect Niels Axel.

Student roll
At present there are 420 students from class I to class X. In 2008 we expect to extend the intake up to classes XI and XII.

Hostel:
About two-thirds of the students stay in the hostels as weekly boarders. They all go home on Friday evenings and return on Sunday morning (seniors) or Monday morning (juniors).
