OUR PHILOSOPHY

Tagline: Embracing Culture, Empowering Education


At MVA, we believe that education is not merely the accumulation of knowledge but the cultivation of character, culture, and competency. Guided by our motto—“Embracing Culture, Empowering Education”—our educational philosophy reflects a deep commitment to nurturing responsible, noble, and self-reliant citizens who are equipped to contribute meaningfully to an ever-evolving society and to the advancement of our nation.


Core Beliefs:

  1. Education Rooted in Culture: MVA recognizes culture as the foundation of identity. Embracing our rich heritage, values, and traditions, we aim to instill a profound sense of respect, belonging, and cultural awareness in our students. By fostering a learning environment that honors both cultural diversity and unity, we prepare students to thrive with dignity and pride in local, national, and global contexts.
  1. Fostering Excellence in Academic and Moral Education:  MVA regards academic excellence and moral integrity as inseparable dimensions of true education. MVA strives to sharpen the intellect through rigorous academic engagement while simultaneously nurturing the heart with values such as honesty, empathy, responsibility, and respect; ensuring comprehensive growth in intellectual, ethical, and emotional aspects.
  1. Every Child is Unique: MVA acknowledges the unique potential of every student. Recognizing that learners differ in pace, style, and interest, MVA is committed to ensuring that all students attain at least grade-level competencies in all areas of basic education. Individual strengths are respected, and support systems are implemented to help every learner realize their fullest potential.
  1. Progressive and Planned Education: MVA is a proponent of progressive education that is student-centered, inquiry-based, and grounded in real-life application. Our instructional practices are meticulously planned and aligned with modern pedagogical standards to foster critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and lifelong learning. Education at MVA, based on the national curriculum, is not limited to the classroom but also extends to social, emotional, and experiential domains.
  1. Discipline Through Systematic Functioning: MVA believes that every effort becomes effective and efficient when carried out within a structured and well-defined system. To this end, MVA operates under a clear operational policy that guides all institutional activities and interactions. Every member of MVA is expected to function within these established frameworks, which serve not as limitations but as essential structures for discipline, coherence, and mutual accountability. This systematic approach fosters an environment of responsibility, respect, and shared purpose, ensuring that MVA remains a disciplined, well-organized, and goal-oriented educational community.
  1. Nation-building Through Education: MVA’s ultimate aspiration is to cultivate civic-minded individuals who act with integrity and a strong sense of social responsibility. Education, in our view, should empower students to become mediators of positive transformation—adaptive to societal changes, equipped with leadership abilities, and motivated to contribute to the advancement of the nation.
  1. Unified Effort Among Stakeholders: To achieve the desired educational outcomes, it is imperative that all key stakeholders, namely the school management, the teaching and non-teaching staff, and the parents, work collaboratively and in alignment with the school’s educational philosophy. Each tier plays a vital role in the holistic development of the learner. The management provides vision and structure; the educators and staff deliver and support the learning process; and parents reinforce the values and practices at home. Only when all stakeholders are united in purpose, action, and belief can MVA realize its mission and deliver the quality of education it envisions. Shared commitment and cooperation across all levels are not optional, but essential for the collective success of MVA and the students it serves.

In essence, MVA is a community where culture is honored, education is holistic, and every learner is prepared to face the realities of the present and the uncertainties of the future. Through the integration of moral values, academic rigor, and progressive pedagogy within a disciplined and systematic operational framework, and with the unified support of all stakeholders, we endeavor to mold a generation of learners who are noble in character, independent in action, and committed to both national and global welfare.

Situated at the very heart of this dynamic stimulating city, MVA Secondary Boarding School is warm and friendly and offers the highest standards of idyllic care. Having developed its reputation for high-quality holistic education for around four decades, today’s school has more than 600 students aged 2-16, representing overall communities of the nation.

What makes MVA a genuinely special place is our family. A visit to our school will leave you marveling at our students. They exude the right sort of confidence and are bursting to exhibit all the amazing learning experiences that they enjoy every day. The programs we offer are centered around the concept of developing students into academically sound, socially responsible, and morally upright citizens. It is quite inspirational to see how this relentless focus on the child, supports them through their formative years. It is no surprise that students from our schools excel in the highly rigorous and respected pathway to the best higher education institutions in the nation and abroad.

The driving force of every successful school is the staff team. At MVA, our faculty members are dedicated to helping children discover and shape their dreams. They understand that engaging and motivating students in their learning is essential and that instilling self-belief is the first step to success in life. As a school, we have a strong focus on professional development and teachers pride themselves on being better practitioners when they leave the school than when they arrived.

We are justifiably proud of our academic performance but, with our definitive attributes underpinning all that we do, education here means so much more than the pursuit of top grades. Sport and the arts, community service, and volunteer activities are all central to the balanced program we offer at MVA, and we are acutely aware of our obligation to prepare young people to make their way in the world as confident, caring, and responsible citizens.

At MVA, we take pride in our spirit of continuous improvement and refinement of practices as we continue to leverage our strengths and celebrate the accomplishments of our school community. We are focused on being deliberate and creative, planned and authentic, and flexible and purposeful in our work.

Our school is a powerful learning community where student voice and self-advocacy are celebrated. It is for this reason that, as our most important and valued asset, we feel it is imperative to listen to and validate student “voice.” More importantly, it is our ability to both acknowledge and recognize the need to change our practices in service of their evolving learning needs.

And as the cliché goes, I expect all my young MVAimers to focus on their cherished goals and strive hard to accomplish them transcending from mediocrity and procrastination to preeminence.

Inspiring Innovation Is Our Tradition

THE Principal SPEAKS

Anil Shrestha

Principal, MVA

Welcome to the dynamic, inspiring, and nurturing learning community of MVA dedicated to supporting all students to achieve their individual potential. MVA believes that the goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create possibilities for a child to invent and discover. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.

The curriculum in the classroom is designed to incorporate the skill and intelligence levels of the student with the right use of technology and multimedia. The lessons are not based on textbooks, instead, they are project-based. Skills and content are learned through their research and projects, and textbooks are provided as one of many possible resources.

A mix of acquisition and practice of project-based learning and other immersive pedagogies, individual education plans for all, the unbundling of teaching-learning, and the assessment of competence and inclusion of state-of-the-art technology are the prime attributes of learning at MVA. The school is fully driven by the learning context of every student, guided by the experience of the facilitator, directed by the reflection of the learning goals of students, set into action to meet the benchmarks and finally assessed through evaluations.

We are equally proud of our extensive range of activities for students outside the classroom. Students are given a choice of a wide range of opportunities in sports, arts, and community service which enhance the formal curriculum. We promote a holistic approach to education where students are encouraged to be involved outside the classroom and to reach their full potential in all they do.

Schooling at MVA gives opportunities for each child to flourish by building on their learning experiences in significant ways. We ensure that we cater to individual student abilities and learning styles through a method called differentiation. We aim to ensure that each student has the means to maximize their true potential in a meaningful and supportive context.

MVA is a challenging yet exhilarating place to learn, develop and explore. I warmly welcome you to come and visit us to experience all that MVA Secondary Boarding School has to offer.
