About Us

St. Michael’s Convent School was founded in the year 1986 with the vision and mission to provide education at the highest standards while being all inclusive, catering to students from all walks of life and all the localities of the city.

Bishop Anthony Lobo, who after serving as the Principal of St Lawrence’s School for Boys, Karachi was serving as the Principal of St Patrick’s High School. Bishop Lobo saw the need to establish St. Michael’s Convent School as to compliment the blooming growth of Karachi as the city expanded outwards and upwards.

Groundbreaking and construction began in 1984-5, and the School started functioning in 1986. The first day of the school was 23rd November 1986. The school occupies the same premises it occupies today.

The school had humble beginnings; its first batch of students numbered 600. The growth of the school matched the growth of the city till the school reached its maximum capacity. Today almost 3,500 students study in the school in Morning and Afternoon shifts.

True to its mission and the vision of the founding Principal, St. Michael’s Convent School caters to students from all walks of life living in different parts of Karachi. The love and passion of Bishop Lobo for imparting education at the highest standards and thus contributing to the building of Pakistan as a nation is shared by and is being continued by Mr. Peter A. Misquita and Ms. Seema Naiyer the school’s Principal and Deputy Principal.

Admissions to the school are highly competitive yet needs blind. The number of students being admitted to the school each year is only limited by the school’s infrastructure capacity. The school offers scholarships to students who qualify for admission in the school and belong to low-income families who cannot afford to educate them. The school also offers scholarships as an incentive for outstanding and exceptional educational performances and extracurricular activities.

Each year about 250 students complete their early education from the school and move to their university education and nascent stages of their professional lives taking with them the rich, inclusive culture of the school and add to the school’s growing heritage and join the ever growing numbers and ranks of the school’s alumni, which as of 2019 numbered almost 22,000.
