Durbar High School
Durbar High School which translates to Palace High School, opened in 1854 is the oldest modern school in Nepal located in Ranipokhari, Kathmandu. The school was originally built to teach sons of Ranas exclusively but was opened to public citizens in 1901 by Dev Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana. At first, Rana children were given education at Thapathali Durbar but later Jung Bahadur Rana moved it into its own building at Ranipokhari, Kathmandu.
Some parts of the school were destroyed in the April 2015 Nepal earthquake. The school is currently being rebuilt under the Chinese Aid.
