SOS Hermann Gmeiner School Grade 6 Admission
SOS Hermann Gmeiner School, Sanothimi, has opened Grade 6 admission for the Academic Year 2083 BS, alongside admissions for its ECD (Nursery) and Grade 7 levels.
This is a valuable opportunity for students who want to study at one of Bhaktapur’s most established schools. Since the school admits new students from the wider community into Grade 6 through a competitive entrance examination, many families apply every year.
Students must pass a written entrance exam to secure a seat. Parents also need to complete the online application and submit the required documents within the given time. Because the application window is short and seats are limited, it is important to apply before the deadline.
Parents should read the official admission notice to learn about the entrance exam, application process, required documents, and important dates.
