GEMS Institute of Higher Education

GEMS Institute of Higher Education (GIHE), the higher section of GEMS School, was established in 2008 with the prime objective of providing higher-level education from Pre-university to Master's level degree courses. Currently, it offers GCE A-Level, a prestigious program at Cambridge University, UK, and the Plus-2 in Science and Management affiliated with the Nepal Education Board (NEB), Government of Nepal.

The higher education facilities are located within the campus of the main complex of the high school at Khumaltar, Dhapakhel, 1.5 kilometers away from Satdobato, Lalitpur. It is a private educational institution in Lalitpur, Nepal. 

GEMS Institute of Higher Education (GIHE) offers education up to the secondary level with moderate fee structures and a scholarship scheme for deserving students. 

GIHE is committed to providing a high-quality international education.GIHE students have remarkably excelled in academics and extracurricular activities. Their excellent performance in the GCE (Cambridge Assessment International Education) and NEB (National Examination Board) examinations demonstrates our commitment to quality education.

Currently, the college offers classes in Swimming, Photography and Multimedia, Group Fitness/Zumba, Art and Design, Guitar, Basketball, Football, Futsal, Cricket, Tennis, Volleyball, Theatre and Drama, Badminton, Table Tennis etc., coached by national-level professional instructors.

The college is a member of the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, the world's leading youth achievement award. The Award is open to all students aged 14-24, regardless of their background. It is about personal development and is not a competition with others. Participating in the Award gives young people formal recognition for their achievements, which many educational institutions and employers value. The Award also equips young people with practical and social skills valuable to their life and career development.

Excursion

Educational excursions are an integral part of the college program. They are significant because they allow students to learn through travel, interact closely with their peers and teachers, understand cross-cultural differences, and foster tolerance toward other cultures.

Clubs

GIHE strives to create a positive environment and enhance students' leadership skills by forming various clubs at the students' initiative and with the college management's logistic support. Students are recruited into different clubs at the beginning of the academic year and encouraged to organize competitions and events coordinated by the ECA in charge. Club activities are held after college hours, and interested students can participate as they please. The following clubs are on offer at present:

• Performing Arts Club (Music, Dance, Theatre, Art and Design)

• IT Club (Photography, Multimedia, Design, Computer Coding)

• Sports Club (Football, Basketball, Cricket, Indoor sports)

• Environment and Social Service Club

GIHE Student Council

GIHE Student Council is a student body comprised of student leaders representing the students currently studying in the college. Academic heads, coordinators, teachers, and students select the leaders for the executive positions of the council for one year. The main objective behind the council's constitution is to allow students to develop their leadership skills and instill a sense of responsibility by organizing many ECAs. The council members encourage other students to participate in the activities and help showcase their talents.

GIHE Youth Fest, Inter-College Football, and debate competitions are some of the essential events the student council organizes every year. Such events help students boost their morale and self-confidence and develop a sense of togetherness and team spirit.
