Country & territory guide
Compare schools across Pakistan.
Compare the selected Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore schools by their actual IB phases and campus. Diploma-only provision, a primary-to-senior continuum and a Career-related Programme answer different educational needs. Shared Beaconhouse branding does not make the Karachi P.E.C.H.S site and Lahore's TNS campus one interchangeable route.

Planning a school search in Pakistan
Start with the child's phase
International School of Islamabad (ISOI) describes PYP and Diploma at its Johar Road, H-9/1 campus. Ask separately about the intervening secondary curriculum; that statement does not establish an MYP sequence. The International School (TIS) in Karachi has a different authoriser record, with PYP, MYP and Diploma separately identified. Compare the receiving phase and assessment approach before using a common IB label to plan a transfer.
Beaconhouse School System Pakistan P.E.C.H.S Campus in Karachi has a narrower record: the IB's programme table marks its Diploma provision, while the institutional record identifies the named P.E.C.H.S contact. That selected senior record should not be expanded into younger IB classes or other Beaconhouse branches. For siblings, obtain a separate division and teaching-site plan for each child rather than expecting one senior-school enquiry to cover the family.

Compare Lahore's senior choices and campuses
Learning Alliance International's current site describes PYP, MYP, Diploma and Career-related programmes. Its IB record dates CP authorisation to 12 May 2026. Compare the actual CP career-related study, provider and progression requirements with the full Diploma subjects. The authorisation establishes a programme record, not every current course combination, an available place or the requirements of a particular university.
The authoriser record for TNS Beaconhouse's selected DHA campus separately identifies MYP and Diploma. Its website distinguishes DHA Phase 5 from Gulberg, with different contact addresses. Keep the selected DHA profile tied to the offered division; a group curriculum page or Gulberg enquiry does not settle delivery at DHA. Learning Alliance's Phase 8 record is another institution and address, even though both appear in the Lahore collection.

Build the offered course into a transfer plan
Learning Alliance describes registration followed by assessment and interview. Use that school-specific process to prepare reports and questions about languages, learning support and the joining programme. Ask ISOI about the middle-school transition, or Karachi how existing subjects fit senior study. Authoriser subject registrations show programme activity but are not a promised menu for a new cohort.
Compare actual award, examined subjects, provider, timetable and completion date. For a move during Diploma or CP study, submit course outlines and completed assessed work for the receiving school to review. Request written intended-year financial terms with examinations, transport and support identified separately. Check the profile's academic year and source-review date, obtain a current quotation, and confirm the next institution's requirements for the precise award.

Curriculum pathways recorded across the collection
Each row combines evidence from several profiles. Its phases may be offered at different schools; it does not mean every school provides every phase. Online delivery is listed separately. Open the school profile for its exact route and eligibility.

Parent questions about Pakistan schools
Does every selected IB school cover primary through Diploma?
No. ISOI names PYP and Diploma without establishing MYP in its overview; The International School Karachi's record identifies all three. P.E.C.H.S is the selected senior Diploma record. Compare the actual phase rather than importing a younger programme from a related school or group website.

Are Learning Alliance's CP and TNS's Diploma the same offer?
They require separate comparisons. Learning Alliance's record includes CP, while TNS's identifies MYP and Diploma and its website distinguishes DHA from Gulberg. Request the actual campus, career-related provider or Diploma subjects, assessment plan and intended-year course availability.
