For TCS, all such milestones are made possible by commendable spirit and efforts shown by faculty member who work tirelessly with students for their exam preparation. During the pandemic, students also had to face tough challenges to cover their syllabus as they switched between on-site and online learning. However, the home-school partnership philosophy allowed teachers, students and parents to work together in order to ensure all challenges are addressed, and syllabus and exam preparation are completed in time.

The City School, founded in Karachi in 1978, is among Pakistan's largest private school networks, with branches in all of the country's major cities. It currently operates 150 schools in 48 cities, serving over 150,000 students in more than 500 owned and franchised locations.

The City School's reach continues to increase in order to fulfil the growing demand for high-quality education. Students are guided from nursery to Cambridge International Examinations (for the 16 and 18 year old age bracket), qualifying them for IGCSE, O and A Level examinations, using a knowledge and skills-based curriculum taken from the UK national curriculum.

Parents, students, and instructors benefit from the standard application of the curriculum since it allows for a smooth and efficient transition from one school to the next within the system.
