HISTORY & BACKGROUND

 

The genesis of the Chand Bagh School back to 1935-36 when the Doon school in Dehra Doon, India opened its doors and a number of boys joined this school. Dehra Doon itself was well situated with the Sivalik Hills in the south, Himalayas in the north and on the east and the Jumna and the Ganges valley on the west.

 

In 1985 on the 50th anniversary of the school, a number of Old Boys in Pakistan of the Doon better known as DOSCOS were invited and subsequently went over to India to participate in the 50th anniversary celebrations. Later, in a discussion between the returning Old Boys and the late Gen. Jilani ( A Doon school Old Boy who was Governor of Punjab at the time), a consensus was reached that they would try and set-up a similar institution in Pakistan. Although this was the first attempt, it was the one that was eventually succeeded.

 

The founding father Lt. Gen Ghulam Jilani Khan and 10 other trustees, all graduates of Doon school, ( Dehra Doon, India) struggled for more than a decade to set up an ideal educational institution seeking to educate and prepare the young Pakistani generation for future leadership challenges. The effort culminated in the establishment of the first project of Chand Bagh Foundation, the Chand Bagh School in 1998, reached its projected maximum strength 600 students in 2007.

 

It has its own characteristics and environment, which distinguish it from the day schools, grammar schools, boarding schools, or a combination thereof. First and foremost, it is an independent private boarding school, where an entire community of students, teachers and their families, staff, servants and their dependents live, work and play together, sharing all their problems perplexities, joys and sorrows. This develops an ethos wherein the school becomes a living and pulsating extended family. In such a wholesome congenial and humanizing atmosphere the extended family feels the collective responsibility to develop men of character and intellect, proud of their country, culture and Islamic heritage. They will be honorable, confident, self-respecting, upright, courageous and good citizens. Their regard for human dignity and the community will guide them in serving the less fortune and society as whole.
