History
Originally established in Pakistan House to serve the needs of the children of embassy staff. The school grew rapidly and attracted students from many expatriate communities as it developed a strong academic reputation. To cope with the extra demand the school relocated to Dokki in 1983, in 1998 moved to Zamalek and currently it is located in Dokki, where it has room to expand. Through the years the school has continued to serve the Pakistani community with its national exams, the international expatriate community with its affiliation to Cambridge International examinations (since 1992) for IGCSE and A levels and most recently with the Cambridge International Primary Programme for classes Prep-5 in English, Mathematics and Science. In recent years the school has had consistent examination results in both the national Pakistan exams and the IGCSE and A-Levels. It had the status of a private international school and is not tied to the Egyptian education system. The Pakistan International school of Cairo is being served by a well-qualified and motivated faculty headed by Mr Ghalib Gillani.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”
