Round Squre
Round Square started as a group of European schools, led by German educational philosopher Kurt Hahn, which shared unique and ambitious goals regarding human development. It has since grown to a family of 120 Global Member Schools around the world. The Lyceum, having been founded on similar principles, was the first and to date only school in Pakistan to be invited to join Round Square in 2011. As a Round Square school, the Lyceum commits to the principles of Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership and Service. Lyceum students have the opportunity to interact with students from around the globe at conferences, service projects, adventure trips and debates to name a few.

Inspired by Kurt Hahn’s Ten Principles of Expeditionary Learning, and guided by a love for the environment, nature and our beautiful country, the school organizes trips to the Great Outdoors, open to all students depending on trip capacity. These excursions foster youth leadership through participation in wilderness outdoor activities and often offer the experience of a lifetime. All adventure/outward bound activities are subject to a stringent risk assessment and are conducted by experienced staff. Students are expected to work as a team, learn about outdoor survival and safety and generally contribute to all aspects of the trip. Students learn to respect their environment and comply with the principle of leaving no trace.
