The Vantage – A British Curriculum School Karachi

THE VANTAGE – AN INTRODUCTION

The Vantage – A British Curriculum School is the first of its kind and a “Boutique School” in the city. In a society that is more focused towards high student volume and intakes, franchising, and massive cost-benefit deficit, The Vantage primary objective is content and authenticity, which are the fundamental foundations behind the idea of ‘boutique schooling’.

Our primary belief is “Every Child Matters”. With its unique and personlised learning approaches, The Vantage offers individual focus and quality education complemented by the strengths of the National Curriculum in England. Small class sizes and a lower student to teacher ratio, capped significantly lower than most other schools, allow us to offer individual focus and close support for each student.

The Vantage is an approved Cambridge International School and is one of the few schools in the city which offers the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) administered and regulated by the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE).

The Vantage provides an environment where students of all ages are self-confident and considerate. Our learning model is unique in its emphasis on relationships. It extends beyond the conventional student-teacher bonding and provides students an opportunity to freely interact with the teachers and each other, nurturing a more personalised experience. The Vantage provides and promotes to its cohorts, a sense of belonging and of pride in their community, their school, and themselves under the supervision of a committed and visionary leadership of school management, its faculty and general staff members.
