It was in mid 80's that Syed Ihsan Ullah Waqas and Mr. Liaqat Baloch, the founder members of the Makkah Foundation and eminent social workers, realized the need for setting up a superior quality school that could provide quality education to the children of indigent and lower middle class at an affordable expense. A piece of land measuring 66 kanals, in a comparatively-underdeveloped area of Southern Lahore, was purchased in 1989, by the Foundation from the Department of Housing & Physical Planning, Government of the Punjab. The ground-breaking ceremony of the Foundation's first educational venture, the Township Campus, was held on 14th August 1990. This School took a modest start with Preschool, Junior & Girls High School in April 1992 and Boys High School in April 1994 in three blocks of single-storey buildings. During the period of nine years, after its inception, some more philanthropists and social workers joined hands towards promoting this cause that enabled us to add a separate block of Junior School, another storey of Preschool, and two floors each of Boys and Girls Schools in addition to constructing multipurpose hall and a swimming pool. ’
By 2001, the School had become one of the leading Schools of Lahore. Encouraged by this success, the Foundation extended the educational facilities to Kot Khawaj Saeed, another educationally-backward area of Northern Lahore. School followed school in quick succession; the third school of the chain, established in Johar Town, became functional in 2007. The fourth school of the chain, another state-of-the-art campus spreading over an area of 52 kanals at Khayaban-e-Jinnah went operational in 2013. The fifth school, WAPDA Town Campus spreading over 27 Kanals became functional in April, 2022.
