The story of Jamiah Anayah International School begins over half a century ago, with a young girl named Anayat Begum. She dreamed of a world where young women could be empowered through education — a vision that was ahead of its time. Years later, her children, inspired by her vision, worked to bring it to reality through the establishment of Jamiah Anayah — a university of care.
A young girl named Anayat Begum envisions empowering young women through education — a bold and forward-thinking idea in her era. Her dream plants the seed for what would become Jamiah Anayah.
Her children, with the support of like-minded individuals, begin groundwork — designing the curriculum, preparing facilities, and assembling a team committed to the vision of a university of care.
Jamiah Anayah International School officially opens its doors with 3 students and 3 teachers (including the Acting Head). Kindergarten classes begin — the start of an educational journey with a strong mission.
The school expands rapidly. Staff attend Cambridge conferences to understand IGCSE affiliation requirements. Professional development sessions are held. Infrastructure is completed — labs, library, CCTV, solar power, and intercom installed.
Classes now run from Kindergarten through Grade 9, with both Pakistan National Curriculum and IGCSE streams. The school continues to grow toward full Cambridge affiliation.
