Another British-era school that is still imparting education
Soon after the British began laying railway tracks in Rawalpindi in 1879 they noticed the need for an English-language school to cater to the children of British Railways officers.
On Oct 30, 1882, a brigadier general, the superintendent of traffic police, civil surgeon, inspector of schools, loco superintendent, two chaplains and a deputy commissioner met to discuss the idea for a school, and the foundation stone was laid for the school a year later, near the Royal Artillery (RA) Bazaar.
The European Day School opened its doors on March 8, 1883, to 30 students. Two years later, the school was renamed Station School.
Although the school was meant for the children of British officers, locals began seeking admission because of its quality of education and popularity.
