CAIE A Levels Pokhara
This move marks CIC’s integration into the growing network of institutions under the British Education Group, reigniting its mission to deliver quality education across Nepal.
The relaunch ceremony began with the traditional lighting of the panas and was officially inaugurated by the chief guest, Mr. Paul Cleves, and chairperson Mahendra Raj Kandel. Speaking at the event, Mr. Paul Cleves, Vice President of The British Grammar School, emphasised the broader mission of the partnership: in his remarks, he commended the British Education Group for its ongoing dedication to empowering Nepal’s youth through globally recognized academic programmes.
“High-quality education is key to national progress. We’re thrilled to expand into Pokhara with the relaunch of Cosmos International College. This is about more than a campus – it’s about transforming futures.”
Mr. Mahendra Kandel, Executive Director of The British College, also addressed the gathering, reflecting on the Group’s journey:
“What began in 2012 as a vision for transformative education is today a thriving academic ecosystem. With over 6,000 students across our institutions, our graduates are now working for top global companies, founding successful ventures, and studying at elite universities in over 20 countries. We are proud to bring the same dependable benchmark of excellence from The British College, Kathmandu, to Pokhara. Students can now officially apply for CAIE A Levels, and we are committed to offering programmes that meet the aspirations of students, right here at home.”
