Xavier Academy, established in 1997 AD, is a pioneer institution located in the heart of Kathmandu, at Lazimpat. It has its own complex and is housed in a well-planned and modern six-storied building, north of Hotel Radisson. Ever since its establishment, Xavier Academy has been providing an excellent academic environment conducive to the overall physical and mental growth of the students. In terms of infrastructure, faculty, facilities, programs offered, and students’ performance, Xavier Academy has kept on growing from strength to strength and has been consistently ranked among the top ten +2 institutions in the country.
Xavier Academy was established not only to offer +2 in Science and Management (previously Commerce) programs but also undergraduate and graduate programs. Soon after its establishment and operations from 1st of August 1997, the college explored offering some undergraduate programs. In 1998, the college offered B. Sc. Environment Science and achieved excellent results. However, due to factors beyond the college’s control, this program had to be discontinued in 2001. BBS was offered from 2002 but this course was discontinued in 2009.
In December of 2014, Xavier Academy and LA College decided to buy the 2/3rd stake in Kathmandu Don Bosco College (KDBC) so as to offer BBA, MBA and EMBA programs in XA premises under the banner of KDBC.
