Nepal Police School (formerly Dipendra Police School) is a regional system of police boarding schools in Nepal.[1] NPS also typically refers to the first of the schools established, the Nepal Police Higher Secondary Boarding School. Also called the "Central School", it is located in Nasiksthan Sanga, 15 miles east of Kathmandu.
