VisionTo empower the future of the

naon through affordable, yet

standardised, quality educaon.

Welcome to The Smart School. The fact that

The Smart School has emerged as one of the

fastest growing franchise school projects in

Pakistan, within the first year of its launch in

2012, is no coincidence. The broad principl es

that connue to guide us in this venture are

derived from the same values, aims and

principles that are rooted in The City Schools

foundaon. Our franchise schools and their

school communies, including their

students, teachers, managers, and parents,are as important to us as all the City School

communies everywhere and we aim to

facilitate an educaonal experience for

students across the country that will

movate, enthuse and encourage them.

Together, we can provide the kind of

educaon that all discerning parents want

for their children, in schools that are

efficient, well organised and, most

importantly, respect the dignity and

wellbeing of the child, the teacher and,

indeed, that of the whole school community.

I would say therefore to our Associate school

communies, Be the best you can be . . .

and by so doing, Pakistan, too, will be the

very best that it can be.

Managing Director, City Schools (Pvt.) Ltd.

Who are we?

The rapid and organic growth of The City School

since it was first established in Karachi, Pakistan

in 1978 has seen it develop into an organisaon

with a presence in six countries and a reputaon

for operaonal excellence. In Pakistan, it

currently caters to around 61,000 students in

over 180 branches across 47 cies. Based inLahore, its Regional Offices support a network of

branches throughout Pakistan and overseas.

INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE

The City School was the first premier

educaonal instuon in Pakistan to venture

overseas and now has an established

internaonal presence. The first internaonal

school was opened in Dhaka (Bangladesh) on

the occasion of the City School's Silver Jubilee in

2002. Today, The City School also has

internaonal campuses in Dubai (UAE), Jeddah

and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Kuala Lumpur

(Malaysia) and Pulilan (the Philippines).

Future plans include the establishment of

schools in the Arab states, South East Asia and

Africa.

The City School experience provides the

confidence, knowledge and 21st century skills

necessary to meet the challenges of an

increasingly compeve global community,

while remaining true to the preservaon and

promoon of tradional ethics and values.

The City School NetworkAt the heart of our franchise project are the

needs of students, their families, and the

schools that students aend. Our franchise

system will introduce new systems, new

policies, and, especially important, new

confidence into communies that have long

sought a higher quality of educaonal

opportunies.

TCS services are designed to assist the

investor and the head of school to achieve

the highest standards, the highest quality

and the highest efficiency in their school.

In addion, the services TCS provides will

promote the ethos of the school by assisng

in students spiritual, moral, social and

cultural development. There are therefore

many ways in which interested pares gain

from a TCS franchise. Students benefit, first

and foremost, from the daily experience of

being educated; teachers gain movaonand job sasfacon; parents have increased

confidence in their school and the grafying

sense of being associated with a successful

enterprise, and investors, heads, staff, and

all interested pares have the sasfacon of

knowing that standards and quality are

based on a firm foundaon.

Our Director Sales and the Franchise Sales

Team will be most happy to assist exisng

and potenal investors with all the

informaon that they require.

We wish our investors a very happy and

successful associaon with the TCS franchise

project.

Special features that set the project apart

Why become a Franchisee?

As well-equipped centres of holisc and

modern learning, The Smart Schools aim to

ensure that every student benefits from the

very best that we have to offer.

We believe in independent management

which is precisely why the administraon of

each franchise is allowed to run the schools

themselves with minimal interference.

However, since we expect standardised

systems, some funcons have been kept

centralised to aid the school management.

Pakistan has huge potenal in its progressive

and inquiring youth. However, the lack of

affordable, high quality educaon oen

narrows their prospects so vast

opportunies exist for the establishment

and promoon of cost-effecve schools. We

need to empower the next generaon with

the necessary skills and experse so that

they can take charge of their own future.

The City School is celebrang 35 years of

successfully providing outstanding

educaon across Pakistan through

meculous curriculum planning and the

connuous professional development of its

staff. The Smart School is a ground-breaking

iniave to empower our next generaon

with the knowledge and comprehension of

technology and its associated benefits.

Within the first year of its launch, the project

gained a considerable foothold in the

franchising market with over 250+ schools

registered all across Pakistan. By integrang

Informaon & Communicaon Technology

(ICT) with a carefully-craed curriculum of

the highest standards, The Smart School has

pioneered the concept of a futurisc

classroom.

This is an excing opportunity to invest in

the future of learning.
