In effect, for us, education is more than the sum total of its parts. It is essential that we understand that education layers itself in various ways: in values, www.timepiecebuy.org morality, patriotism and faith in humanity. It is what equips us with the ability to make a difference not only ourselves but also our surroundings, society and ultimately the world. We therefore, invite you to think of LGS as a place of self-discovery and self actualization, where no child is left behind. Here, students will have the full support of our faculty as they pursue excellence in their academic and personal life. We hope to instill in ourselves and our students, a sense of responsibility as citizens of Pakistan even as we arm ourselves with knowledge and wisdom for the challenges that lie ahead.   A-levels Advanced Levels are a UK public university entrance examination and are recognized worldwide.
