International Schools in Islamabad, Pakistan

Islamabad’s international schools are a mixed scene: many follow the British Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level pathway, a smaller but visible group offer the International Baccalaureate or American-style programmes, and some campuses run dual or national/international tracks to accommodate local and expatriate families. The medium of instruction is overwhelmingly English, with Urdu taught as a compulsory subject and Arabic or other community languages commonly available as additional options. Fees vary widely by type of school - small national-chain campuses typically charge in the hundreds of thousands of Pakistani rupees per year, while fully international day schools publish annual tuitions in the low tens of thousands of US dollars. The academic year generally runs from August/September to May/June and many schools accept applications year-round but run formal admission cycles and entry-age cutoffs in the months before the August/September intake, so families should start enquiries several months before a planned move.
