Karachi American School

Karachi American School was founded in 1953 and is a selective co-educational day school, which offers an instructional program from Pre-Nursery through Grade 12. Karachi American School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national or ethnic origin in administering its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship, loan policies, athletic and other school administered programs. Founded to serve American and other expatriate children, Karachi American School has developed into a premier learning institution following an American college preparatory curriculum.

While students of all nationalities are enrolled, the school seeks to accommodate primarily those transient students from the expatriate business and diplomatic communities whose academic careers are best served by an American educational system. The school is housed in a modern plant on approximately 25 acres of land. Included are elementary and secondary libraries, art studios, science and computer laboratories, a gymnasium, an auditorium, squash and tennis courts, playing fields, a cafeteria, a swimming pool, health facilities, and a snack bar.
