Empowering Young Minds Through Quality Education, Strong Values, and a Bright Future

History
In 1995, PIPS School System, an English Medium institution, first began with one campus and a simple goal; to provide students with a well-rounded, high-quality education. What started as a small initiative soon gained attention for its commitment to excellence, and as demand grew, so did our vision. Slowly butsteadily, we expanded, opening new branches across the country. This growth was driven not only by our reputation but also by the dedication and leadership of our exceptional franchise directors. Each new campus is a testament to their passion, expertise, and alignment with our core values. Today, we’re proud to have built a strong network of schools, each guided by capable franchise partners who share our mission. Their commitment has helped PIPS School System become a nationwide success, recognized for its academic standards and complete approach to education. Our journey continues, with every new branch bringing us closer to shaping the future of education in Pakistan.

Chairman’s Message

"Welcome to PIPS School System. At its heart, education is about shaping lives, and at PIPS, this is more than a responsibility; it’s a passion. Our goal is to create a space where children not only excel academically but grow into confident, compassionate individuals ready to make a difference in the world. Every child has a unique potential, and we are committed to nurturing that. Our focus is not just on achieving high grades but on fostering creativity, critical thinking, and values that will guide them throughout life. Education, in its true sense, is about opening minds, instilling curiosity, and building character; that’s what we strive for every day. As an educationist, I believe that schools have the power to shape not just individuals, but societies. At PIPS, we aim to prepare students to face the challenges of tomorrow with resilience and a sense of purpose. With the collective efforts of our dedicated educators and supportive parents, we are building a community where children are empowered to dream big and achieve even more.”

PIPS has always been a symbol of Academic Excellence; is consistently achieving high grades in all BISEs. Under the Late Brigadier (Retd.) Muhammad Ijaz Akbar’s mentorship, Pakistan International Public Schools expanded to various family-owned campuses, mainly located at a few cities in Hazara and Central Punjab. God-fearing, with the heart of a philanthropist and loved by all, the Late Brigadier (Retd.) Muhammad Ijaz Akbar was one of the most gifted and prominent educationalists in the country. In 2019, he passed away at the age of 92, leaving a deep void in the hearts of many. May Allah grant him the highest ranks in paradise and bless his soul with eternal peace. Ameen. Predominantly being a boarding model, PIPS had to respond to demographic and traditional shifts where families started preferring affordable and locally accessible education. With this market gap in mind, Brigadier (Retd.) Muhammad Ijaz Akbar’s oldest grandson, Mr. Muhammad Anjum Umar then came forward with a visionary franchise model. After endorsement and blessings of his grandfather and mother, pioneered the ‘PIPS School System’ branch network across Pakistan.
