Chand Bagh School (Urdu: چاند باغ پاٹھ شالا) is an independent boarding school for boys at Muridke in Pakistan, approximately 40 km north of Lahore. The school opened in September 1998, having been conceived as a Pakistani version of The Doon School of India. The name "Chand Bagh" refers to the Doon School's estate at Dehradun, India.
The origins of the school lie in the independence of Pakistan in 1947 and the series of Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts which have since followed. In 1985 a group of Pakistan's "Ex-Doscos", alumni of the Doon School, who had attended it in the days of British India, travelled to Dehradun in India to attend the school's 50th anniversary celebrations. On their return they formed a Doon School Society of Pakistan, which aimed to create a Pakistani version of their old school. After many years in gestation, the school was finally founded by Lieutenant General Ghulam Jilani Khan, a former Governor of the Punjab Province, himself a Dosco, and ten fellow-trustees. In many respects Chand Bagh is modelled on Doon School, Dehradun.
The name "Chand Bagh" means "moon garden" and was chosen in memory of the original Doon School, which had been established in 1935 on the Chand Bagh estate at Dehradun, now in the Indian state of Uttarakhand.
