A Good School

The H.A.S Academy

Hey there Friends! So here is a school I want all of you to know about. It’s not renowned, it’s not situated in a posh area, and it’s not that big as your “Dream School” but who knows one day, after enrolling your child there, it can become your Dream School you would put your child’s siblings there and refer to your friends and relatives. It’s   The H.A.S Academy (Playgroup, Nursery to Secondary)- A SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARD. It was established in the year  2009.



The H.A.S Academy offers pre-school to secondary education to children aged 2.5 to 14years old. It provides a progressive educational program of studies and strong focus on the Arts, Islamic Education, Physical Education and Information Technology


  • Foreign qualified, meticulous, loving and caring teachers

  • Innovative child centered education to average and gifted students

  • Enriched individualized instructions in a nurturing environment

  • Emphasis on organization , study, communication skills, personality development, character building and leadership

  • Special emphasis on modern education with Islamic culture and values.


The above mentioned points must be quite common to your eyes and ears as you must have read it in almost every school’s advertisement. So let me give you information which makes this school different from the others and that is, it is run by a foreigner. From the owner, to the Principal to most of the teachers are foreigners basically form The Philippines. They have this aim and mission of introducing quality education to students using, not just the latest but different methods which are proven effective to teach children from every walks of life.



The school is situated in Block ‘N’ North Nazimabad, and caters kids that belong to families with different standards. So you cannot expect the school to accept kids from very well-off families only but they accept kids that deserve to learn whether they are from rich or poor family. Well you must be thinking why I am even mentioning all these. That’s because we have this impression in mind that good schools means having children from rich background, which isn’t the case at all with The H.A.S Academy. I’ve mentioned in my previous posts that good schools don’t necessarily mean schools for rich kids, but schools that offer quality education.



The H.A.S Academy is one school that impressed me as I have seen it from the day it was born till date. The tremendous change is very obvious. They have 150 students now, and its greatest achievement for a newly opened school to have this much students in just 2 years. Their own students, along with their parents are recommending the school to relatives and friends which is a good thing since it means that because of utter satisfaction, they are spreading the good name of the school.

The environment is very well prepared and the result of hard work of teachers as well as administration. The administration staff themselves do the work in preparing the environment with teachers’ help, which is a very good practice as this increases harmony and understanding between them.



The teachers are highly qualified and very caring with very pleasant personality which every kid would love.

Okay here is the best fact about the H.A.S due to which I’m so excited to share to all of you. When you enter the premises you will notice everyone conversing in English. Well I have visited many schools such as City and Beaconhouse and found the staff conversing in English as well but this school is different. Why? Because not only the teachers speak English with each other, but each and every student from Nursery till Matric, and the reason is the Principal speaks English strictly and students willingly speak the universal language because they think their dear Madam can’t speak Urdu at all J  So just imagine little cute kids of nursery trying to speak the dream language of their parents…..

  1. Hi Naveeka,

    The FB page says it's in 'N' Block, you might wanna edit that... Also, the FB page does little to increase the credibility of the school. Phrases like 'foreign qualified' and 'experience in UAE' do little to inspire confidence.

    Forgive my skepticism and the school does sound like a blessing in the age of 'five-figure a month equals best education' but the upside are most likely due to it being a startup. I also don't normally judge people by their looks but most teachers looked quite young and inexperienced, even the filipina one.

    How did you came accross this school, and how does the school address the Islam and urdu education? I ask this specifically because it infuriates me to know that teachers for English, Science and Maths are paid higher than teachers of Islamiat, Urdu and Pakistan Studies. No where in the world of academia is this phenomenon observed other than in our beloved nation where we are hopelessly enslaved to cliche's.

  2. First of all thanks for the correction of the address.
    Well I came across this school while searching for one for my daughter, plus this I live just around here and I know few parents whose kids are studying here. So, based upon their feedback plus my several visits to this school, I'm able to come up with this blog. Well you observed it right, the teacher in the picture is a filipina but she isn't young at all, she's the age of my mother in fact :)
    Regarding Islamic and Urdu Education, they have experienced teachers for the subjects , actually for all subjects and yes I agree most schools under estimate the Islamic and Urdu teachers and don't pay them accordingly, I can't actually give you facts about the pay scale of teachers of this school since that is something very confidential about the school and I myself isn't aware of that.
