 Takshashila Academy (Previously Allied Co-Ed) has been running since 1998 as a high school maintaining the tradition of academic rigor and following a genuinely modern model of education. One salient feature of the Takshashila approach is the use of introspection as a means of understanding who we are and our relationship with the world around us. Another salient feature of the Takshashila approach is the union of deep normative ideas with the pursuit of laws that govern the physical, social and emotional universe. It is not always useful to think of such ideas as being categorically distinct from or superfluous to the practice and understanding of science. Takshashila is a secular and progressive institution of education located in Bishal Nagar, in the heart of Kathmandu. It offers a curriculum designed to meet the requirements of secondary education set by the Government of Nepal. This includes coursework leading to the SLC examination. Takshashila will expand soon to offer 10+2 as well as bachelor's level of education. We plan to develop eventually into a university. Takshashila uses English as the language of teaching and communication between students and faculty. Games such as Football, Volleyball, Basketball, Chess, Table Tennis, Carom, Badminton and Cricket will not only be provided but purposefully encouraged among the schoolchildren. Apart from this, school education will be supported by the practice of elocution, drama, dance, and other exercises organized as periodic events. Takshashila emphasizes the development of well-rounded personality of students.
