Elavanta School sits two minutes from the Blue Area roundabout, in the same few streets as the Pakistan National Council of the Arts and Lok Virsa. We take that address seriously — design, drama and the performing arts are timetabled subjects here, not after-school extras.
"We didn't want a school that happened to be in Islamabad. We wanted one that could only exist here, on these streets, near these stages."— Founding Note, Elavanta School
Most schools treat their location as an accident of real estate. Ours is the opposite: Elavanta School was built in the G-7/2 Blue Area precisely because of what surrounds it — the Pakistan National Council of the Arts, Lok Virsa, Islamabad Club and the National Art Gallery, all within walking distance of the Blue Area roundabout.
That neighbourhood shapes our timetable. Alongside a full Cambridge academic programme in maths, sciences and languages, every student takes structured studio time in theatre, visual art or music — taught by practitioners who often work the same stages our campus borders.
A structured academic core, benchmarked to national standards, taught in small sections.
Theatre, music and visual art are scheduled subjects, not Friday-afternoon clubs.
Visiting faculty drawn from the institutions on our doorstep teach select senior electives.
Each stage builds on the one before it — the same studio-and-syllabus model, scaled to the age of the student.
Play-based learning, early literacy and numeracy, and first exposure to movement, music and storytelling.
Core Cambridge subjects alongside structured art, craft and theatre periods, three times a week.
Subject specialisation begins; students choose a primary studio focus — visual art, music or drama.
Science, Commerce and Humanities streams, with practitioner-taught electives in performing and visual arts.
Capped section sizes with interactive boards in every room from Class III upward.
CCTV-monitored entry points, visitor sign-in and trained security staff on every shift.
A core teaching staff supplemented by working artists, musicians and theatre directors.
The arts focus sits alongside — never instead of — a full, exam-ready academic core.
A 220-seat campus auditorium hosts termly productions, open to the wider Blue Area community.
Walking distance from Blue Area Metro Bus Station, with school transport across central and south Islamabad.
Every space on campus is built to flex between a standard Cambridge classroom and a working studio.
Interactive panels and document cameras in every section from Class III up.
12,000-volume collection with a dedicated quiet-reading wing.
Physics, chemistry and biology labs, plus a dedicated robotics and coding room.
A black-box theatre with full lighting and sound, used for daily drama periods.
Basketball and badminton courts, an athletics track, and weekly swim sessions off-site.
Wet and dry studio space for painting, ceramics and print, naturally lit on the top floor.
Seats are confirmed in the order assessments are completed, not the order enquiries arrive — so step two matters more than step one.
Send the form alongside, or call the admissions desk directly on +91 80 4011 4047.
A guided walk-through of classrooms and studios, with time to meet section teachers.
An informal interaction for younger applicants; a written and oral assessment from Class III.
Submit documents and fees within the window shared by the admissions office to lock the seat.
Tell us about your child and we'll arrange a campus visit slot.
"My son struggled to sit still in his old school. Here, the theatre periods seem to have given him an outlet — his class teacher says his focus during maths has actually improved since."
"We chose Elavanta because of the location, honestly — but it's the small section sizes that have kept us here. My daughter's teachers know exactly where she's strong and where she needs a push."
"The termly production in the school auditorium has become a genuine family event. Watching my daughter direct lighting cues for her own batch's play this year was not something I expected from a Cambridge school."
