St Mary's Cambridge School

St Mary's Cambridge School

St Mary's Cambridge School is situated on Murree Road, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. It is one of the oldest independent schools of Rawalpindi. St. Mary's Cambridge is in an old building which was previously used as hospital, named Holy Family Hospital. The hospital moved to its present building in satellite town during early 1960s and the building was handed over to school. This school caters only for boys. The classes are from Playgroup to year 10 (known as Matric). Classes are divided in 3 sections, "A, B, C" like 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, etc. In the "B" section, only Muslim students study. "A" section has both Muslims & Christian students, while the "C" section has only Christian students. However after 8th grade, no more religious separation is in place and after 8th grade, A and B section are for those students who opt Biology as their major subject and C is for those who opt "Computer science". For decades St. Mary's served the local population by providing high quality education. It lagged behind in competition with private school chains which started emerging on the scene in 1980s. St. Mary's provides well rounded education by not only focusing on curriculum, but developing the abilities of its boys in various fields, Like arts, Drama, Debates and sports.

The school was initially under management of Christian missionaries and is now run by local catholic community, it provides religious education in Islam as per curriculum decided by the local education board.
