Our Roots

Sir Muhammad Rizwan Late (1948โ€“2008)

In 1967, Sir Muhammad Rizwan (Late) laid the foundation of Metropolitan Academy with an enduring vision: to build an institution where academic excellence, strong values, and personal growth walk hand in hand. As the founder principal, he was far more than an administrative leaderโ€”he was a deeply dedicated teacher at heart and a visionary educationist. Through his selfless commitment and structured system of education, Sir Muhammad Rizwan transformed the academy into a beacon of light, enriching the lives of countless learners and equipping them with the tools to succeed.

Today, the legacy of his devotion thrives as Metropolitan proudly educates its third generation of students. 60 years and still counting, easier said than done! This milestone stands as a powerful testament to the deep-rooted trust and lasting impact of his educational philosophy. Sir Muhammad Rizwan believed that true education shapes not only minds but character, leaving a positive footprint on society for generations. As the academy continues to grow, his founding values remain the guiding light for the institution, reminding every learner and educator that today's achievements grow directly from the strong roots he so faithfully planted.

Introduction to MPS

Year 1999, in the heart of the city at Gulberg, Federal B. Area, Metropolitan School (MPS) was established as a continued mission: to nurture every student as an individual through high-quality education delivered within an affordable fee structure. By keeping personalized attention at the core of its academic philosophy, MPS created an environment where students could truly thrive without imposing a financial strain on families. This balanced approach has proven remarkably successful for over two and a half decades, during which hundreds of satisfied students have successfully completed their schooling, while hundreds more continue their educational journey every day.

Driven by this overwhelming community support, the footprint of MPS has steadily expanded to serve families across the northern and eastern parts of the city. What started in Gulberg has now stretched into a thriving network of campuses, including the North-1 campus, followed by the North-2 campus, and the Gulshan-e-Maymar campus. Each location carries forward the exact same dedication to nurturing potential and maintaining educational standards. What began as a commitment to accessible, student-focused learning remains an active reality across every branchโ€”a promise kept, and a promise that goes on.
