Introduction
 
 

          In the year 2038 B.S. Little Flowers' Boarding School was established in Birtamod, Anarmani, Jhapa. Within a very short period of time, the school became a full-fledged high school and acquired unchallenged reputation in the whole of Eastern Nepal. Many education conscious intellectuals of the Terai and Kathmandu valley were so impressed, at the success of Little Flowers', Jhapa, that they urged the management to start a similar type of school in Kathmandu Valley also.
         
And thus 'GEMS' (Graded English Medium School) was established at Sanepa heights, Lalitpur in 2041 B.S. 'GEMS, surrounded by green hills and the majestic peaks in the distance, overlooks the valley and offers a breathtaking sight

Syllabus
 
Infrastructure
 
 
  The syllabus will be a combination of the National Education System and the best aspects of the English system of education so that the children will develop nationalistic feelings from a very tender age and acquire a vast knowledge of the country and the outside world. The concept of self-imposed discipline will be, inculcated through the amalgamation of the workshop method, the Montessori and the Kindergarten system. A detailed syllabus will be sent to the guardians at the start of the academic session. The detailed syllabus will be prepared with due care, considering a child's capacity to absorb, appreciate and grasp.   A rich library facilitates the students in gathering additional information required. Science experiments are conducted in a well-equipped laboratory and an advanced computer laboratory has been set up to impart practical computational knowledge. The medium of instruction and communication will be English, except during Nepali lessons.
