Our programmes are categorized into three learning objectives:
True growth and development are achieved by stepping out of the comfort zone. At The City School, we believe in exposing our students to various cultures and nationalities, by encouraging them to travel around the world and participate in international competitions.
Our students represent Pakistan through debates, public speaking, and entrepreneurship competitions in the USA, the Middle East, the UK and other European countries Participation in such activities helps students develop leadership qualities and widen their horizons.
The City School regularly sends students to Europe, the United States of America, and the Middle East. International trips give exposure to different cultures, experiences, and real-life situations. It also provides our students with endless opportunities to improve their personal development, such as confidence, self-esteem, leadership, and independent thinking.
During these trips, students can attend short courses, attend summer camps, or participate in academic activities.
The City School students make excursion trips across the world regularly. These trips involve: football and netball match at Kennington Oval; throw ball matches at Whales Sports Festival; Students Olympics International in Malaysia; football competitions in Turkey; Kennedy Space Centre NASA; and Climate & Technology events in Dubai.
On these trips, the students also visit museums, parks, shopping malls, and historical places. These exciting memories help build their personalities and develop life-long friendships and memories while preparing them for future challenges.
Under the Youth Leadership programme, students are given opportunities to participate in events and activities that enhance their confidence and creativity, improve their problem-solving and stress management abilities, and instil attributes such as team building and leadership.
MUNs, both national and international, play a key role in developing communication skills, critical thinking, and confidence among students at a young age. It gives them exposure to real-world problems and scenarios where judges critique them on a range of skills, including speaking, critical analysis, presentation, and Q&A responses.
In recent years, our students have won the ‘Best Diplomacy Award’ at the International Youth Alliance Model United Nations (IYAMUN) and several other accolades in other competitions, including Shaheed Tahira Qazi Inter-regional Model United Nations, Sonnu Rehman All-Pakistan Junior National Debating Championship, Aitchison Business Concept Money, Lahore University of Management Sciences Model United Nations, and many more.
TEDx is a grassroots initiative to research and discover “ideas worth spreading”. TEDx events include live speakers and recorded TED Talks and are organized independently under a free license granted by TED.
The City School hosts multiple TEDx events nationwide throughout the year and encourages participation from competing schools as well.
The City School annually holds literary festivals across the three regions to create opportunities for students to participate in co-curricular activities, such as storytelling sessions, plays, declamations, story writing, and poetry recitals that help groom their personalities
Sports help in the overall development of students by teaching important life lessons such as teamwork, responsibility, and discipline. It instils in students the importance of an active lifestyle and healthy eating habits.
Our students have won various regional and inter-school competitions in football, cricket, basketball, table tennis, cycling, swimming, badminton, etc.
Our students regularly participate in community development work and social awareness activities, which induces the desire to give back to society.
We at The City School celebrate World Earth Day to raise awareness about the importance of environmental protection. ‘Together We Grow’ has been an important campaign slogan for our tree plantation drives across Pakistan. In this activity, students plant trees at their campuses, parks, and venues dedicated by campuses, while Punjab Horticulture Authority (PHA), and Waste Management Authority (WMA) ensure impactful community work.
At these events, community leaders such as the Provincial Minister of Culture, DG PHA, Director PHA, and CEO WMA attend to motivate and appreciate students’ efforts.
Our students are keen to recognise the efforts of front-line workers in health care especially during difficult times of Covid-19. To appreciate them, our students make “Thank You” cards for doctors, nurses, paramedic staff, etc. as a token of gratitude and love.
Dustbin Drives are a continuation of our rigorous community work efforts in which we place dustbins at various public places including parks, streets, museums, etc. The purpose of such campaigns is to ensure the cleanliness of our environment and to teach our students the importance of community work.
