Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan School Johar Campus

Inspired by the legacy of the late Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, the school aims to foster a dynamic environment where curiosity, intellect, and potential are nurtured. It emphasizes a holistic approach that integrates STEM and STEAM education, aiming to develop independent thinkers of vision, courage, and integrity who are prepared for a digital age.

The school offers a 21st-century curriculum that emphasizes activity-based learning and STEM/STEAM integration. Specialized IT courses are a core component, covering subjects such as cybersecurity, web development, Python programming, artificial intelligence, robotics, and 2D/3D modeling. The academic programme is designed to build computational thinking, logic, and problem-solving skills from an early age.

The school provides career counseling and mentoring services to support student development. Additionally, parents are requested to inform the school if a child requires special assistance due to health reasons during the admission process.

The school follows a structured admission process beginning with an enquiry and a campus visit. Applicants for Pre-Nursery to Kindergarten undergo an informal assessment and interview, while students entering Grade 1 and above are tested in English, Science, Urdu, and Mathematics. Admission is merit-based, and successful candidates must complete documentation and fee payment within seven days of selection.

The school operates on a traditional academic calendar designed to balance rigorous study with periods for rest and extracurricular engagement. It maintains clear term dates and breaks throughout the year to support effective student planning.

The school operates two campuses in Karachi, featuring modern classrooms equipped with educational technology. Facilities include science and technology laboratories, a dedicated IT lab with networking infrastructure, a library, and a cafeteria. Physical activity is supported by a gymnasium and outdoor sports fields, while creative pursuits are facilitated by art studios and performance spaces.

Students are encouraged to participate in a variety of activities, including sports such as basketball, volleyball, and football. The school also provides spaces for arts, music, drama, and dance, alongside youth leadership programmes that focus on communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.
