Lahore Grammar School

In 1979, Lahore Grammar School opened its doors to a handful of students with 55 Main established as its first branch. We’ve come a long way since then! From the very beginning, however, the philosophy of the school has been to combine collaborative learning, critical and logical thinking skills and a diverse co-curricular program to help create a more balanced, well-rounded individual, with interests and ideas, a questioning mind and a genuine love for learning.

Today, Lahore Grammar School provides education to girls till A Level. It has extended its network to cater to the needs of the middle income group in its Landmark Schools. LGS has branches in Islamabad, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta, Multan, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Faisalabad and Gujrat. It offers quality education to the low-income group through the Lahore Education Society School, entirely supported and funded by LGS. However, please note that this website caters only to schools under the stewardship of Director and Principal, Mrs. Nasrene Shah- namely LGS 31 FCC, LGS 30 Main and LGS 55 Main.

At 55 Main, we began offering A’levels in 1995. Since then, our students have been achieving outstanding results every year with a number of students being amongst high achievers in Pakistan and the World! Is our A’level Programme for you? If you value a challenging yet supportive academic environment, close connections with faculty and fellow students, and a broad range of co-curricular activities, it most likely is. Our program is known for its motivating, resourceful, and collaborative environment. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch- we look forward to your application!

At LGS 55 Main, we believe in learning through a rich diversity of experiences beyond the classroom. With ever increasing technological advances and economic and social interdependence, the world has transformed into a global village. Providing exposure plays an integral part in fulfilling our aim of developing and nurturing global citizens. Whether a Model UN conference, NASA Space Competition, camp at the Seeds of Peace headquarters, a cultural exchange, or simply a recreational trip, we facilitate and provide endless adventures and opportunities for our students to travel and gain international exposure.

Lahore Grammar School 55 Main was established in 1979. The nationalization of educational institutions in Pakistan had led to an alarming decline in the standards of instruction and facilities being provided in most schools and colleges. Interventions in the realm of education were consequently critical to arrest this abysmal state of affairs.

In 1978, the Pakistani Government announced that it would welcome initiatives in the educational sector. Taking advantage of this, a group of women from varied professional backgrounds, including education, and with the shared objective of contributing in this field, decided to set up a girls school.

In 1979, therefore, Lahore Grammar School was established when 55 Main opened its doors to a handful of students. We’ve come a long way since then!

The school is affiliated with the Cambridge Board of International Examinations for the O and A Level programs. The grading system applied in the senior levels is in line with the specifications of the Board.

Our programmes support our values and our philosophy and is not merely a conduit for passing a battery of exams. It is a journey in self-discovery, which to us is the vital part of our work. When you challenge pre-existing norms and cultures, and you challenge yourself, we succeed!

Respecting diversity in the student body is essential for life at 55 Main and is at the core of our principles. Our community thrives on encouragement and inspiration as we build each other up and each student is accepted for who she is.

You will leave us having discovered your own true potential and become the best version of yourself. As this happens, 55 Main will have won.

Our vision is a holistic and dynamic one that appreciates diversity and stresses the importance of opinions based on rational and informed premises rather that on superstition, emotion and insufficient understanding of issues. Emphasis is laid on creating a culture of thinking in the classroom and education is seen as a broad and complex process of acquiring both knowledge and understanding.

We aspire to make our students aware of contemporary issues, both national and worldwide, and their personal role not only in developing an understanding of these issues but prompting a desire to translate that knowledge into active commitment and take steps, where possible, to bring about positive change in their environment.

We have taken several initiatives in the field of education in Pakistan, including the promotion of the performing arts which we felt were being neglected at great cost to our cultural tradition and a healthier social milieu. LGS also lays great emphasis on the teaching of regional languages so that our students develop an appreciation of their cultural roots and in the rich traditions of literature and music of their province.

We take great pride in the fact that community service is a critical element of our programme, where our students are encouraged to share their skills and learn from the courage and resilience of those less fortunate than themselves.
