History

At LCGG, the history curriculum follows a loosely chronological framework in Prep School and gets more well defined in the Senior School with a balance between British India History and Pakistan’s Independence. Pakistan History is taught alongside certain segments of the World History. Just as important is a balance between the types of history – political, economic and social, and the history of ideas.

Emphasis is also laid on Islamic history over the ages.

Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Logarithmic and Exponential Functions, Integration and Differentiation are all part of the Intermediate curriculum.
