Nilore Junior Model School

Nilore Junior Model School was established in March 1999 in a small village, 25 km east of Islamabad, Pakistan.

The school was started with 19 children - 11 boys and 8 girls ranging in age from 5-11 years. As there were no schools in Nilore at the time, most of the children were illiterate while one or two had attended religious seminaries (madrassas).

As of 2008, more than 200 children are enrolled in the school; 14 children from the original group of students are now in Grade 9. There are a total of twelve teachers, all of whom were hired from the village. The school is currently housed in a purpose built building.

The school’s curriculum has incorporated new concepts such as art as a subject, human rights, environmental awareness, and personal hygiene and safety. Subjects taught in the school include include math, science, Urdu, English and social studies.
