Education legacy

Haque Academy was launched in 2008 as an extension to the nursery which had been established in 1977. The nursery is recognised as one of the leading institutions of early childhood education in Karachi.

The academy is unique in its curriculum that includes a co-curricular modular program by the name of SPARC (Special Programmes Amongst Regular Classes).
