History

Sun Rise English School was established in 1987 by Mr. Dinanath Duwadi, in his own home in Bharatpur-06, Krishnapur, Chitwan, NEPAL. Classes ran from Nursery to 5th grade. There were 33 students enrolled and 5 staff and teachers working in the school. After running the school for 3 years in Dinanath Duwadi's home, the board of directors moved it to Dipendranagar. The school was moved behind Birendra Multiple Campus, Dipendranagar in the fall of 1992. After running the school for two more years, the school's Board of Directors declared liquidity. In the summer of 1994, the school was closed with 142 students enrolled and studying.

Within a week, the school was purchased by a group of young educators. The new group registered the school as Sun Rise English School, removing the 'Boarding' word from its previous name. Mr. Bal Bahadur Acharya was selected as the acting principal of the school. The new management brought all the teachers and staff, and all the physical assets including the school building from the previous management and started the classes at the same place behind Birendra Multiple Campus in Dipendranagar.
