Himalayan International Academy’s library serves as a vibrant hub of learning and discovery, carefully curated to meet the diverse needs and interests of its student body. The library houses an extensive collection of age-appropriate materials spanning multiple categories, including engaging fiction that sparks imagination, informative non-fiction that broadens understanding of the world, and comprehensive textbook resources that support the academic curriculum. Books are available in three languages—Nepali, English, and Japanese—reflecting the school’s commitment to multilingual education and catering to its multicultural student community. This trilingual collection ensures that students can access literature and learning materials in their preferred language while also developing proficiency across all three, supporting both their academic growth and cultural identity.
Students have full access to this rich repository of knowledge and are actively encouraged to explore independently, fostering a love of reading and self-directed learning. To further cultivate literacy and a passion for books, the school has implemented dedicated reading time each week, providing students with structured opportunities to immerse themselves in literature during the school day. Additionally, HIA’s Reading Club offers an engaging extracurricular platform where young bibliophiles can come together to discuss their favorite books, share recommendations across various genres—from adventure and mystery to science and history—and participate in literary activities that deepen their appreciation for reading. Through these initiatives, the library becomes more than just a collection of books; it transforms into a dynamic space that nurtures curious minds, encourages critical thinking, and helps develop lifelong learners who find joy and meaning in the written word.
Students have full access to this rich repository of knowledge and are actively encouHimalayan International Academy’s dedicated science laboratory provides students with a hands-on learning environment where theoretical concepts come alive through practical experimentation and discovery. The lab is equipped with essential scientific apparatus, materials, and safety equipment necessary for conducting experiments across various disciplines including biology, chemistry, and physics. Students engage in carefully designed laboratory activities that align with their curriculum, allowing them to observe scientific phenomena firsthand, test hypotheses, and develop critical analytical skills. Under the guidance of experienced teachers, students learn proper laboratory techniques, safety protocols, and the scientific method through active participation in experiments. This practical approach to science education helps students move beyond memorization to genuine understanding, as they measure, observe, record data, and draw conclusions from their own investigations. The science lab fosters curiosity and wonder about the natural world while building a strong foundation in scientific inquiry that prepares students for advanced studies. Whether examining specimens under microscopes, conducting chemical reactions, or exploring the principles of physics through hands-on demonstrations, students develop the confidence and competence to think like scientists.raged to explore independently, fostering a love of reading and self-directed learning.
