The Pakistan International School, Azizia, Jeddah has been catering to the educational needs of Pakistani children since 1959 when it started functioning as Pakistan Embassy School in a rented building in Jeddah’s Baghdadia district.

It has now its own building in Azizia district and has grown into a prestigious institution. Throughout its history, it has upheld the, “strive for excellence” motto and by the grace of Almighty Allah it has produced many gems of students.

With a view to bringing about further improvements, the school has entered a new phase of development for the grooming of teachers and students where teachers will be able to enhance their professional competence and students will be able to give vent to their creative talent through extra-curricular activities.

A comprehensive system of evaluation to monitor the progress and conduct of students has been introduced in the school.

Students and parents shall be notified regularly to make them aware of their obligations and responsibilities toward maintaining a disciplined environment in the institution. In order to promote healthy competitive spirit among students, inter-house competitions are held. Our aim is to transform the school into a strategic base for future leaders of the nation in all walks of life in accordance with the national values and aspirations.
