Nepal Police School

The Nepal Police School[1][2][3] (Nepali: नेपाल पुलिस विद्यालय) usually shortened as “NPS”, previously known as Dipendra Police School (Nepali: दिपेन्द्र पुलिस विद्यालय) (DPS) named after the late Crown Prince Dipendra Bir Bikram Shah of The Kingdom of Nepal is a regional system of police boarding schools in Nepal. The school motto is “Better Schooling for ideal Citizens”. The schools predominantly accept applications from children of Nepal police personnel but in some cases accept applications from non-police personnel children (up to 40% of the school population). The prospective students sit on competitive entrance exams as part of the admissions process for limited seats. These schools are funded by the welfare program of the Nepal Police Organisation. The school's history, reputation for discipline, and holistic approach to education with a special focus on physical education and athletics have made Nepal Police School one of the highly reputable schools in Nepal.
