[edit] Organisation

The schools comprises three sections, an English-medium (referred to as "St Paul's English High School" or 'section A') operating in the mornings, another (referred again to as "St Paul's English High School" or 'section B') in the afternoons and a third Urdu-medium school (known as "St Paul's Urdu High School" or 'section C') which also operates in the morning but in a separate campus. The morning classes cater to students enrolled for both matriculation and O levels while the afternoon class are for student enrolled only for matriculation.

[edit] Teachings and facilities

Section A is considered the primary section of the school and conducts classes from grades 1 to 5. Students are later given an option to study either according to Pakistan's matriculation teachings or to proceed to the Cambridge GCSE standards education. The matriculation system would conduct classes for grades 6 to 10 while an extra grade (11th) is added to the GCSE courses. While the section A is for boys only, the other two sections have a coeducational attendance. Section B is different from the primary section in that it consists of classes from Kindergarten I and II, then grade 1 onwards to 10. There is no choice of further education and students have to only study courses that fall under the matriculation curricula. The classes are held in the afternoons and are for both boys and girls.

Section C is built on a separate campus joined with A and B and teaches in an Urdu-medium from grades 1 to 10.

The school has a huge ground and although the school boasts a cricket, basketball and a football team, the facilities are not sufficient enough. The school also has a library and a computer lab (or labs), an on-campus clinic, three canteens including one mobile canteen.

[edit] Campuses

The school has two campuses. One is a large campus on which Group A and B are built. The other smaller campus has Group C on it. The first campus has a huge ground on which the students play during the recess. The second campus has a small ground.
