History
The history of AVM High School is linked with the history of the late Satya Narayan Bahadur Shrestha, who is regarded by many as a selfless educationalist who spent his whole life in the field of education.

The school offers education from grade 1 to School Leaving Certificate level (equivalent to O levels offered by University of Cambridge).
