The school on the hill
About with a photo
Roots and wings, in that order
Langtang Hall sits on the northern rim of the valley, where the road stops being a road. Eight hundred and ninety students, two hundred and forty of them boarding, arranged into six houses named after the rivers of the Langtang.
The house is the unit that matters. It is where a Grade 6 student is looked after by a Grade 11 one, where the Saturday programme is organised, and where — as every leaver will tell you at length — the cup is won or lost.
The house systemSix houses, mixed across all year groups, with senior students responsible for juniors.
The Saturday programmeTwenty-three activities, every student in one, all year.
Day and boarding togetherBoarders and day students share houses, duties and the same Saturday.

Saturdays and after
The Saturday programme
Twenty-three activities and nowhere to hide
From hill running to bookbinding to the school’s own beekeeping. Every student is in one for the whole year, and every activity presents at the Chaitra assembly.
The hill
A campus that runs uphill
The cross-country course climbs four hundred metres and is universally resented. The house that wins it has won the cup more often than not, which nobody thinks is a coincidence.

What families say
She boarded from Grade 6 and I worried for a year. Her house captain wrote to us every fortnight. I have never had that from anyone else in her life.
The Saturday programme sounded like a filler. My son has kept bees for three years and is now the one training the Grade 6s.

In their words
You get given four Grade 7s in Grade 11 and suddenly their reports are partly your problem. It changes how you use your own study hour.

Common questions
Admissions FAQs
From what age can a child board?
From Grade 5. Boarders are housed by house rather than by year group, so a new Grade 5 boarder shares a corridor with students up to Grade 12.
How are houses allotted?
By the housemasters, balancing year group, day and boarding, and — where a family has been here before — by keeping siblings and children of alumni in the same house.
Is the Saturday programme compulsory?
Yes, for every student in the school, and for the whole year rather than a term at a time. Choosing well in Baisakh matters.

The basic building blocks
A block of writing is for anything the designed sections do not cover — a notice, a policy, a letter to parents. It takes bold, italics, links and lists, and sits in Langtang Hall School’s own type.
Below it: a picture with a caption, a row of buttons and a line to separate one thing from the next.
