PREP SCHOOL

 

Prep School is an inspiring environment for boys who are quickly maturing and eager to express opinions. We aim to encourage curiosity and to set our boys on the path toward being lifelong learners with inquisitive, objective minds. Equally, we instill the values of an ethical person; a young gentleman -an Aitchisonian.

Prep School boys organize and conduct Annual Inter-School competitions for English Debates, Urdu Debates and General Knowledge Quiz. The Young writers of Prep School publish a School Magazine by the name of “PREPPY” every year. They write, edit and compose articles in English, Urdu and French for this prestigious publication under the guidance of staff advisors. To enhance the aesthetic sense and artistic values boys take part in an Annual Art Competition for publication of a Wall Calendar each year. Best works of arts are selected and published and over the years it has become a signature sign of Aitchison College. Our boys produce an English Play every year. They manage the adaptation, sets, lights and sound and direction –and of course acting.
