St. Xavier's School (Est-1951) is a private Catholic coeducational basic education institution run by the Nepal Region of the Society of Jesus in Lalitpur, Nepal. It was the first academic institution established by the Jesuits in Nepal. Currently, it consists of student cohorts in twelve levels of study (Grades 1 to 12) and operates an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school under a single administration. One of the oldest private schools in the country, St. Xavier's has historically been considered an elite institution, often attracting students from the upper crust of Nepal's society. The school's alumni have traditionally occupied high ranking positions within the government, bureaucracy, military or distinguished themselves nationally in other professions.
