GEMS (Graded English Medium School) was established in 1984 at Sanepa, Lalitpur. In the year 2000, it shifted classes from four to ten including boarding houses to its own complex spread over 110 ropanies of land at Khumaltar, Dhapakhel, Lalitpur, which is just 1.5 kilo meter away from Sat Dobato point. The new complex comprises two residential and four main academic buildings with the state-of-the-art facilities. The management has been emphasizing quality education since its inception in 1984, and, as a result, it has positioned itself as one of most leading educational institutions in the country today.  The Higher Education Building is one of the main academic wings, in which higher level classes like GCE A' Level under the University of Cambridge, the UK, Plus 2 (Only Science) under the affiliation with Higher Secondary Education Board (HSEB), and the BS/MD (Bachelor of Science leading to Doctor of Medicine) programme under the affiliation with Angeles University Foundation, the Philippines are being run.

In an attempt to become a full-fledged education provider, the management began its higher level programmes in 2008. GCE A level is one of them, which has been successfully running since then under the team of qualified and experienced academic administrators and faculty members. With the advent of higher level programmes at GEMS, our own SLC graduates and those from elsewhere have been assured that they get quality education of an international standard in Nepal.
