Dear parents, The best thing I could offer you in this cold season is a warm welcome to our recently inaugurated and successfully running Beaconhouse Girls Branch at Peco Road. The past fleeting four months have been thrilling and exuberant for us. I thank all my colleagues and students who have put in their hearts and souls to bring this new school to life in a very short span of time.

We at Beaconhouse School System, try to present life in all its diverse perspectives to our students. We teach them that life will not give them code of values if they evade the knowledge of what to value, life will not provide them the purpose if they evade the choice of what to seek. We motivate our students to be conscientious and diligent so as to become a responsible citizen of this country and the world at large. For us education is not just the bombardment of information, it is a phenomenon that will make your child develop and grow in all aspects of life. We guarantee dedication and quality in everything we do. Grace us with your visit to experience the zeal and fervor yourself.

Seasons greetings and a joyous new year.
