KHS was

technological industry, the children are given coaching
since grade one so as to make them well versed in this
field. In 1987, the school organized the very first countrywide
seminar on Computer Education for Schools in association
with Pakistan Association for Computer Education in Schools
(PACES). In 1998, the school again conducted a seminar
on Internet and Education and invited Ms. Susan Sley a
Computer Resources Head from the US. On October 22nd, 1999,
Karachi High School became one of the first Schools to
have launched its own website at www.khs.edu.pk.
Just
as academic life is characterized by a broad spectrum of
opportunities and people, so is the life outside the classroom.
Students' interests range from sports and music to drama
and art. Karachi High School was involved in the
formation of Pakistan's first only international under-13
baseball team which has represented the country in the
Far East Little League Baseball tournaments held in Taiwan,
Indonesia and Philippines in 1994, 1995, and 1996 respectively.
The trips are mostly financed by the league management.
In 1997, the team attended the Baseball Camp at Williamsport,
Pennsylvania USA.
In
the same year, the school was invited to participate in
Quanta '97 and BEAM Robotics '97, the third international
competition for Sciences held in Lucknow, India, organized
by City Montessori Intermediate College. Participants from
all over the world compete to exchange ideas, knowledge,
and technical know-how, simultaneously learning and sharing

At

show where more than 500 children perform. All are encouraged

and other performances.
The
school is committed to being accessible to students without
regard to their economic or financial circumstances. In

of scholarships based on academic merit and leadership
potential. Special scholarships are provided to those who
excel in athletics, art and music. The school welcomes
applications from transfer and international students.
Founding
member and current principal, Parveen Kassim claims, "When
I succeed in communicating clearly and grading fairly,
I am not only doing my job well as an educator, I am teaching
students something about being responsible. And my belief
is that they will remember my lesson long after the assignments
and grades have been forgotten. We educate our students
to make a difference to the world they live in."
