Islamabad · Cambridge Day School

Where Islamabad's culture
quarter meets the
classroom.

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.

About the school

A Cambridge school built around its address

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.

  • Cambridge curriculum, Nursery to A Levels

    A structured academic core, benchmarked to national standards, taught in small sections.

  • Daily studio time in the arts

    Theatre, music and visual art are scheduled subjects, not Friday-afternoon clubs.

  • Practitioner-taught electives

    Visiting faculty drawn from the institutions on our doorstep teach select senior electives.

  • Academic programme

    Four stages, one continuous thread

    Each stage builds on the one before it — the same studio-and-syllabus model, scaled to the age of the student.

    STAGE 01

    Pre-Primary

    Play-based learning, early literacy and numeracy, and first exposure to movement, music and storytelling.

    Nursery – UKG
    STAGE 02

    Primary School

    Core Cambridge subjects alongside structured art, craft and theatre periods, three times a week.

    Class I – V
    STAGE 03

    Middle School

    Subject specialisation begins; students choose a primary studio focus — visual art, music or drama.

    Class VI – VIII
    STAGE 04

    Senior Secondary

    Science, Commerce and Humanities streams, with practitioner-taught electives in performing and visual arts.

    Class IX – XII

    What parents tell us at pickup

    ★★★★★

    "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."

    Parent, Class IV
    ★★★★★

    "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."

    Ayesha Farooq
    Parent, Class VII
    ★★★★★

    "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."
