Is IB the future of education in Pakistan? Discover the leading IB schools in Lahore

Find out why the IB programme dominates Pakistan's education system

 

Pakistan’s education landscape is being taken over by IB programmes which are gaining popularity and recognition for providing inquiry-based, hands-on learning to students. Also known for its rigorous academic framework and holistic development, IB programmes have recently distinguished themselves by increasing a student’s chances of getting into Ivy league colleges.

According to the IBO survey, the acceptance rate of IB students by Ivy League universities is up to 18% higher.

Lahore seems to be the hub of IB schools in Pakistan with more and more schools moving towards play-based learning. In an overcrowded market, we think that a few schools have risen to the top because of what they offer, especially in terms of the IB programme. Listed below in no particular order.


LEARNING ALLIANCE INTERNATIONAL
Learning Alliance International is making significant strides in IB education and was one of the first few schools to get IB certification. It offers a rigorous IB program in a supportive environment, challenging students intellectually and nurturing their growth.

The school's emphasis on inquiry-based learning and intercultural understanding prepares students to be global citizens who are ready to tackle the challenges of the future.


TRINITY SCHOOL LAHORE
Trinity School Lahore (formerly known as the International School of Choueifat) in Johar Town is at the forefront of this educational revolution and has very recently become an IB candidate school for all three programmes i.e. PYP, MYP and DP.

Led by the IB maestro Taimur Bandey who set up most of the IB schools in the country, it seems to have the most unique approach to the programme. With facilities such as Design Lab, Makers Studio, Life skills lab, dedicated IB library and vibrant learning corridors, and courses such as Japanese, Carpentry, Piano, Yoga and many others, Trinity School has a four day learning week with Fridays only for the development of life skills in students.

 

LGS INTERNATIONAL
Lahore Grammar School (LGS) is another top IB school, focusing on critical thinking, problem-solving, and global awareness. LGS's IB program equips students with the skills needed to navigate an increasingly complex world. The school's experienced faculty and state-of-the-art facilities create an ideal environment for learning, making LGS one of the top IB schools in Lahore.

TNS
TNS in Lahore has two schools in Gulberg and DHA and has remained a popular choice for parents when selecting IB schools. While the DHA school enjoys a good reputation and has produced the largest MYP batch this year with good results, many parents have complained of instability at the Gulberg school after the exit of their former principal Mr Barnes.

 

IB is revolutionising Pakistan's education with top schools like Trinity, LGS, TNS, and Learning Alliance International pioneering a rigorous and holistic approach. For those seeking the best for their children, the IB program represents the pinnacle of educational excellence.
