10 Best Schools in Pakistan

Ever since Pakistan’s foundation, its education system, especially schooling, has evolved better. When public sector schools are in a dismal state, private schools are taking the lead and making waves, and trying to provide quality education to the students who can afford them. Below is a list of the 10 best schools in Pakistan; it details the reason why they are the best, what kind of curricula they are following, and what amenities they have in place for their students. Most of the schools such as LGS, Beaconhouse, The City School, Aitchison College, Karachi Grammar School, and Cadet College Hasanabdal follow the British curriculum. In contrast, some such as The International School of Choueifat, Lahore American School and Karachi American School follow the American curriculum, and some like the International School of Islamabad follow International Baccalaureate (IB). This list is not a ranking of these schools and gives a general overview, and selecting a school for your child’s education will be your discretion.

LGS has two kinds of campuses: Mainstream and Landmark. The division is based on amenities, curriculum, campus size, location, teachers’ profile, and fees among other things. Mainstream campuses follow a more robust and standardized curriculum and have larger campuses, with bigger libraries, extended sports courts, extracurricular activities, and premium trips, and they charge more fees. Landmark campuses, although they are very good have relatively smaller buildings, bigger teacher-to-student ratios, and offer fewer amenities.
