Durbar High School (Nepali: दरबार हाई स्कूल) or Bhanu Higher Secondary School, opened in 1854 is the oldest English education school which publicly established English education system in the country.[1] in Nepal located near Rani Pokhari, Kathmandu whereas the first school of Nepal is considered Yjnayavalkya Vidyapeeth at Matihani of Mahottari. The school was originally built to teach sons[2] of Ranas exclusively but was opened to public citizens in 1902 by Dev Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana.[3] 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.[4] The school was rebuilt under the Chinese Aid.[5]
