Director’s Welcome
In a short span of 5 years the school has around 400+ students and we have been able to expand to two campuses. I would attribute this to our no-nonsense approach towards education and the coordination we have with parents of our students. My aim has been and will remain to have few quality students rather than many average students. Moreover, I have always encouraged parents & students to avoid evening tutions and instead focus on sports and extra curricular in their free time. Future leaders cannot be created with academics alone. We need to groom them at every possible level and that is exactly what Drakken does. I am glad to have been given the chance by Allah Almighty to establish an institution which not only gives opportunities for top quality education and sports but also works on the religious side, builds character and teaches core Islamic values. Moreover, we have also started our boarding facility for senior boys with an aim to groom them 24/7 and thereby prepare them to excel when they leave Drakken and face the world. I would like to thank my current and ex-teaching staff of the school who have managed to work according to my vision and transform our students. DRAKKEN is Alhumdullilah one of the best schools in our area and I am looking forward to the day when the school will be one of the most prestigious names in Pakistan.
