The phenomena of Franchise based schooling and network schooling are getting popular after the successful launch of ‘Educators’ by Beacon House School System and ‘The Smart School’ by City Schools Network among many. A recent entrant in this area is an Islamic school named ‘Dar-e-Arqam’, originally established in Sargodha in 1991 and which plans now to add 18 new campuses in different cities of Pakistan to its existing network of 230 branches. These schools are situated in various cities of the country especially in the province of Punjab and some areas of KPK.
Dar-e-Arqam School claims to cater the schooling needs of more than 50,000 students from Islamic perspective and base upon the core values of commitment, excellence, leadership, responsibility, respect and citizenship. The school stands with a vision of ‘excellence in this world and world after’.
It is pertinent to mention that many parents are reluctant to send their children to the modern schools where music, dances and other religiously and socially indecent activities are taught as a mandatory part of studies and they also care about the educational needs of the children to be par excellent and economical. Previously many Islamic schools have tried to cater these needs of many parents. Among them few notable are Yaqeen Model School, Nakhlah School, Suffah Saviour and Iqra Schools. The contact numbers of 18 new branches are as follows.
