St. Xavier's School was established by the Jesuit missionary Marshall D. Moran. Fresh from the newly acquired democratic political system after a century long system of familial rule by the "Ranas", Nepal was beginning to open out to the world and the incumbent king of Nepal, Tribhuwan Bir Bikram Shah, is said to have personally invited Moran, who at that time worked in Patna, India, to institute Jesuit education to Nepal. Moran complied and in 1951 St. Xavier's School was opened in Godawari, on the outskirts of the capital city Kathmandu.
