The City School

Established in Karachi in 1978, The City School is today one of the largest private school networks in Pakistan with branches in all the major cities across the country. It currently has 169 schools in 49 cities with over 126,000 students in 458 owned and franchised schools. The City School continues to expand its reach to meet the demands for quality education. The knowledge and skills-based curriculum derived from the UK national curriculum guides students from Nursery to Cambridge International Examinations (for the 16 and 18 year age group), qualifying them for the IGCSE, and O and A Level examinations. The uniform implementation of the curriculum gives parents, students, and teachers the advantage of a smooth and efficient transfer from one school to another within the system.

The City School’s unique Values Education program sets out to promote high quality effective learning experiences for all students, where our values are reflected in our philosophy, curriculum, classrooms and relationships, and are expressed in the everyday actions and interactions within our schools.

Every decision relating to curriculum and every interaction that takes place in a school reflects the values of the individuals involved and the collective values of the institution.

In The City School we give great importance to the values that we all deem are important to us, our school, our community and our nation. It is by upholding these values and by acting on them that we are able to live together and thrive.

Through their learning experiences students develop their ability to express their own values, explore with empathy the values of others, critically analyze values and actions based on them, and discuss agreements that arise from differences in values. They learn to make ethical decisions and to act on them.

Our teachers all understand that teaching positive human values (e.g. respect, honesty, compassion, humility and responsibility) improves the quality of education in schools.
