Starting senior school marks a significant phase in your life! A time marked by change, exploration, tackling new challenges, and forming new connections. It is a period of progression as you transition into young adulthood, venturing into a new era of growth and opportunity.
At JTI, our devoted team is committed to nurturing, inspiring, and supporting you every step of the way. We aim for you to feel comfortable from the moment you step through our doors, ensuring that the shift from junior & middle to senior school is both reassuring and intellectually stimulating. As an International Baccalaureate school, our guiding principles revolve around inclusivity and care, not only for one another but also for the world in which we live.
We believe that each individual, far from being a blank slate, arrives with a diverse range of personal strengths, and we encourage you to embrace these wholeheartedly. We promote students to take charge of their learning, fostering independence and enhancing their self-awareness. Our aim is to deliver a practical education that extends beyond the confines of the classroom, providing numerous opportunities for students to explore, identify, and develop their interests.
By the end of your journey with our school, you will have evolved into an independent, self-aware young person ready to chart your own course, equipped with the skills and resilience to navigate life’s challenges.
What sets us apart?
At LGS JTI Senior, we believe that school should be a place where students feel happy, engaged, and inspired to learn. We see parents as partners in this journey and value their input. While we may not always be able to accommodate every request, we promise to listen. We believe that when students are encouraged to explore their natural curiosities, academic excellence follows naturally.
Our IGCSE Tracks
We offer both a two-year and a three-year IGCSE track to cater to different learning styles and academic goals.
The Two-Year Track
This is an accelerated program designed for students who are comfortable handling a more rigorous pace and prefer to take fewer subjects—typically between 8 and 11. This track is best suited for students who can manage a faster pace of learning while maintaining strong academic performance.Students from Class 8 who wish to opt for the two-year track will be required to take an admissions test for Mathematics and Science to ensure they are prepared for the demands of the accelerated program. Students in the two-year track will complete all their exams in a single session and will not have the option to appear for some subjects in the October/November series.
The Three-Year Track
This track offers a more balanced approach, allowing students to take between 9 and 15 subjects. This extended timeline provides more room for academic exploration, helping students discover their strengths and interests before deciding on a specialized path. Additionally, it gives them more flexibility to participate in co-curricular activities, competitions, and internships without feeling the pressure of a timeline.All students in the three-year track will take Pakistan Studies and Islamiat at the end of their second year. They also have the option to appear for three additional subjects at the end of the second year if they wish. However, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Art & Design must be taken in the final year of the program to ensure depth of study. This structure allows them to spread out their workload while still ensuring they gain exposure to a variety of subjects.
Subject Selection and Progression after IGCSE
At LGS JTI Senior, we believe IGCSE is a time for exploration, not specialization. This is why we discourage students from selecting Business Studies, Commerce, and Accounting at this stage—there will be ample opportunity to specialize in these subjects later. Instead, we encourage students to develop a strong academic foundation across a broad range of disciplines.
While our IGCSE programme is structured to provide a smooth transition into the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP), we also recognize that some students may choose to pursue A Levels after completing IGCSE with us. Our curriculum is designed to keep pathways open, ensuring that students are well-prepared for either academic route based on their future aspirations.

Research and Global Perspectives
Our IGCSE curriculum is designed to be research-oriented, which is why Global Perspectives (GP) is a compulsory subject in the first year. GP fosters independent research skills and critical thinking by allowing students to explore global issues of personal interest, preparing them to become well-informed global citizens.
One of the key reasons we have made GP compulsory is because it serves as excellent preparation for the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP). The research, analysis, and inquiry-based learning skills developed in GP closely align with the demands of the IBDP, particularly in subjects like the Extended Essay (EE) and Theory of Knowledge (TOK). By engaging with GP early on, students build a strong foundation for the research-intensive nature of the IB, making their transition to the program smoother and more effective.
Student Portfolios and Holistic Development
Education at LGS JTI Senior goes beyond academics. From the moment a student joins our IGCSE program, we begin curating a personalized portfolio that tracks their extracurricular activities, internships, and volunteer work. We provide continuous guidance on passion projects, research opportunities, and enrichment activities tailored to their interests and future aspirations.
By nurturing both academic and personal growth, we aim to ensure that every student is equipped to thrive—not just in exams, but in life.
Digital Learning at JTI: Leading the Way in Lahore
We take pride in being pioneers of digital learning in Lahore. Our commitment to providing an exceptional educational experience is reflected in our strategic use of cutting-edge technologies. With a robust digital infrastructure comprising Managebac, Kognity, Microsoft Teams, IXL, MyMaths, and Turnitin, we offer students a comprehensive and dynamic learning environment. What sets us apart is our in-house Learning Management System (LMS) and a dedicated programmer who customizes coding according to our needs, ensuring a tailored and innovative approach to digital education. Our significant investment in software and digital platforms speaks volumes about our dedication to providing the best possible resources for our students, enabling them to engage deeply with their learning.
Our emphasis is on creating a holistic learning experience that integrates the benefits of technology while cherishing the importance of traditional methods. Individual student timetables and calendars, a common sight in our International Section, not only keep students organized but also add a touch of warmth to our community. The frequent sharing and perusing of each other's calendars for scheduling meetings reflect our collaborative and interactive spirit, fostering a lively and engaging educational atmosphere.
