The C.A.S. School (initials for Center of Advanced Studies, Urdu: جدید تعلیم کے لئے مرکز) is a private school in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. It is located in DHA/Clifton, Phase 8 and has two campuses, the Main Campus (3rd grade- 11th grade) and The Kindergarten Section (Playgroup- 2nd grade).
The school originally existed in P.E.C.H.S as a single branch on a neighborhood street a few kilometers parallel to Tariq road. Over time the branch was divided into the Kindergarten section (KG 1 and 2 + Grade 1 and 2), the Junior section (Grade 3-6) and Senior section (Grade 7-11). All branches were located in the same general area in P.E.C.H.S. By January 2005, the Kindergarten section was moved to the previous Senior section, while the Junior and Senior sections were moved to DHA/Clifton. The late renowned architect Habib Fida Ali designed the newer school building.
Today, the C.A.S. school offers a 14-year programme from Playgroup to O-Level, with a total of 1,250 students, 205 teaching members and 80 support staff in the two campuses.
The C.A.S. School looks at the objectives of schooling beyond classroom instructions and good grades. It views academic achievements and academic coursework as only one part of the learning process. The school's curriculums include common subjects such as English (also the main language of instruction), Urdu, math, science, history, geography, and weekly library visits. In addition to regular school curriculums, the C.A.S. offers a wide variety of learning modules, other major western European languages (introduced since the mid 2000s), seminars, study trips, music, sports, student exchange, community service, internship programmes and inter-school engagements. These experiences have the objective in the larger context of learning, confidence, self-esteem, leadership initiatives, and with an interest in the broader aspects of social and cultural life.
