About National Open Model School
National Open Model School Overview
National Open Model School (NOMS), situated in the vibrant city of Birgunj, Parsa, stands as a beacon of inclusive and flexible education in Madhesh Province. Established with the core philosophy that education should be accessible to all, regardless of age, socio-economic status, or previous academic interruptions, NOMS has pioneered the 'Open Schooling' model in the region. The institution is dedicated to bridging the educational gap for students who cannot attend traditional full-time classes due to professional commitments, geographical barriers, or personal circumstances.
The history of National Open Model School is rooted in the movement for alternative pedagogy in Nepal. Recognizing that a rigid educational structure often leaves behind talented individuals, the founders established NOMS to provide a learner-centric environment. The mission of the school is to empower individuals through quality distance and flexible learning, while its vision is to create a society where lifelong learning is a realized standard. Academic strengths at NOMS include a curriculum aligned with the National Examination Board (NEB), expert faculty trained in adult and flexible learning methodologies, and a robust support system for independent study.
