About

Crescent Model School was established in 1968. At that time the school was in Qaddafi Stadium, but was later moved to a new building in Shadman Colony in 1970.[1]

The school offers many indoor and outdoor extracurricular activities. The school has two separate branches for boys and girls. The institution provides the students with ample sports fields, auditoriums, libraries, swimming pools and state-of-the-art science and computer labs.[2] In 2019, professional tennis player and alumnus Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi laid the foundations of a new tennis court in the school, which was named the "Aisam-ul-Haq Lawn Tennis Court".[3] In 2018, Crescent Model School defeated then 8-times consecutive champions, the Divisional Public School and Intermediate College, Lahore (DPS), and won the 9th Punjab Olympics Games.[4]
