PEISCT is remarkable for offering UK-aligned education and is the only school & college in Iran affiliated with Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE), UK.

What about language difficulties?

Despite being operated by the Pakistani Embassy due to the nature of students Urdu lessons are not compulsory and extra English language lessons are offered.

The school offers education from nursery up to A-Level, it is one of the oldest established schools in the city and has been operational in one form or another for several years independent but affiliated to the embassy.

History of the School

Pakistan School in Tehran was inaugurated by the then Foreign Minister, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto on October 17, 1964. It was set up initially to cater to the educational requirements of the Pakistani community and the embassy staff, so as to enable their children to acquire the standards requisite for admission in Pakistan schools on return home.

The school evolved into Pakistan Embassy International School and College (PEISCT) which is the only institute affiliated with the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE), Islamabad, as well as the University of Cambridge International Examination, UK. Thus PEISCT is the unique institute in Tehran that offers curricula from pre-nursery to A-levels, (Cambridge, UK) and grade XII, FBISE (Islamabad).
