About PCIS

A school that has grown on one green acre

Pakistan Central Ideal School opened in 2012 on Ferozepur Road, Lahore. It is an independent school teaching children from Playgroup to Class X, all on one campus.

Our history

Founded in 2012

Pakistan Central Ideal School was founded in 2012 by our Chairman, Haji Muhammad Ismail. It is a progressive, independent school in Lahore.

The school sits on one acre of green grounds, which gives children first-hand experience of nature and room for interactive, hands-on learning. Since it opened, the school has grown and built a name for modern, hands-on teaching.

The curriculum is designed to build each child's abilities, confidence and sense of responsibility for themselves and their community. A houses system, weekly assemblies and school-wide events and performances give children a strong sense of belonging.

We want kindness, respect and inclusion to run through the school day, and we hope our students leave as thoughtful, well-spoken young people who care about others and are ready for what comes next.

From the Chairman
Educating young people is a privilege, and one we take very seriously.

Whether our pupils are in Playgroup or preparing for their board examinations, we follow their personal and academic progress closely, and every child is valued equally. PCIS has always tried to educate the whole child within a close, family atmosphere.

We want every pupil to do their best, both in lessons and in the many activities outside the classroom. Our teachers are committed and know the children well, and smaller classes help children enjoy learning and achieve more.

By the time they leave us, we want our pupils to be more confident, more caring, and well prepared for the next stage of their lives.

For parents, choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you will make. A website can only give you a flavour of life at PCIS, so I would encourage you to visit and see the school for yourself. You will be warmly welcomed, and I look forward to meeting you.
