TNS DHA
ABOUT THE
CAMPUS
Established in 2014 as Lahore’s first IB school, TNS Beaconhouse DHA offers a comprehensive academic journey from Early Years to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). The campus is accredited to deliver both the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) and the IBDP. Students begin in the Early Years, where Project-Based Learning, a hallmark of our Early and Primary Years, nurtures curiosity, creativity, and foundational skills. From Classes 6 to 10, they engage in the globally recognized IB MYP, before advancing to the rigorous IBDP in Classes 11 and 12.
TNS Beaconhouse DHA holds accreditation from the Middle States Association (MSA) to offer the American High School Diploma along with the IB Diploma which means that all students are eligible to leave TNS Beaconhouse with a dual diploma once they have met all the requirements. This makes the school truly unique.
TNS Beaconhouse DHA is a truly inclusive school, and is one of the few schools in Pakistan that cater to differently abled students. The Special Educational Needs department tailors programmes for each individual child who is not able to access the full ‘traditional curriculum’. The ‘life skills’ programme enables differently abled students to gain essential skills to help them with future employment. TNS Beaconhouse DHA is the only school in Pakistan to offer this support.
The school is a proud member of the prestigious Council of International Schools (CIS) which allows teachers and students to network with schools and universities globally and ensures compliance with strict standards to maintain our position as one of the top international schools in Pakistan.
SCHOOL HEAD’S
MESSAGE
We believe deeply in nurturing student agency: giving young people real voice and ownership over their learning, so they leave us not just knowledgeable, but capable of directing their own path and ready to navigate whatever comes next. This sits alongside our commitment to wellbeing, which we see as the foundation for everything else: a student who feels safe, valued, and understood is a student who can take risks, ask questions, and truly thrive.
We strive to be a genuinely inclusive school, where every learner’s individual needs are recognised and supported, and where difference is treated as something to be welcomed rather than accommodated.
We are proud to be working toward full accreditation with the Council of International Schools (CIS), having already been recognised as a CIS member school. This process reflects our ongoing commitment to the highest international standards of education, governance, and student support, and it is a journey we undertake with our whole community.
TNS is proud to be one of the top international schools in Pakistan, and I am delighted to welcome you to our TNS Beaconhouse DHA family.
