Nurturing Curiosity, One Child at a Time

This foundation prepares students for the structured learning ahead while nurturing their unique potential. We believe that by creating a supportive environment, we can help every child confidently transition into their schooling years.

Enrichment Programme for Pre-Juniors
At the HPS Pre-Junior Section, we recognise the importance of your child’s development outside the classroom.
Emphasis on Reading Activities
At Habib Public School, we believe a strong foundation in literacy is key to lifelong learning. Our Pre-Junior Section emphasizes reading through thoughtfully designed programs like Readathon, where students engage with books in a fun and meaningful way, and Buddy Reading Week, which fosters collaboration and peer learning. These activities are instrumental in helping students develop essential reading skills early on, guided by some of the best teachers in a nurturing environment. It’s initiatives like these that distinguish HPS as one of the best schools in Karachi for early learning.
Leadership Development
We nurture leadership from the very beginning. Our Leadership Development initiatives in the Pre-Junior Section are designed to empower young learners to take responsibility, make decisions, and develop confidence. Programs like Leader in Me, introduced through workshops and classroom activities, and our special Leadership Days, help children build the foundation of essential life skills. At HPS, we believe that every student can grow into a capable leader, making our school a beacon of education and character-building from the earliest years.
Early Math Enrichment
Our Early Math Enrichment program is designed to spark curiosity and logical thinking in young learners. Through interactive experiences such as the Mathemagic competition, students are introduced to fundamental concepts in a creative and engaging way. These events not only promote healthy competition but also help instill confidence in analytical thinking from the start. With guidance from our amazing teachers, students at HPS receive a head start in mastering mathematical concepts, setting us apart among the best schools for early childhood education.
Field Trips
Learning at HPS goes beyond the classroom with exciting, well-planned field trips that broaden students’ horizons. Destinations like the MagnifiScience Centre offer hands-on experiences that complement academic lessons and fuel curiosity. These excursions are thoughtfully designed to support classroom learning while developing social and observational skills. Field trips help our students connect with the world around them, reinforcing HPS’s commitment to offering a well-rounded and exploratory education.
Sports and Physical Development
Physical activity is essential to holistic development, and at HPS, we integrate play with learning right from the start. Our Pre-Junior Section encourages daily physical movement and hosts an annual Sports Day that students eagerly prepare for over months. This event highlights the importance of teamwork, coordination, and perseverance—skills that are crucial both on and off the field. By prioritizing physical wellness alongside academics, we uphold our reputation as one of the best schools where students thrive in every dimension of development.
