Superintendent's Message
Welcome Message from the LAS Superintendent, Dr. Peter M. Toscano
Welcome to Lahore American School, one of the oldest, most prestigious international schools in Pakistan. Founded in 1956, it proudly served the local community for 66 years. Our graduating classes have a tradition of excellence with acceptances to distinguished schools like Cornell, New York University, Georgetown, Northeastern, Rutgers, McMasters University, and UCLA. Many of our alumni have gone on to successful careers in business, law, medicine, finance, entertainment, and politics. This year’s graduating class of 2025 should be no exception.
Here at LAS, we pride ourselves on our American-style education that stresses innovation, independent thinking, and character development
Our High School has a rigorous AP program with a variety of courses and is the first school in Pakistan to offer the AP Capstone, which we added in 2023. It’s an innovative program of study that focuses on college-level research and advanced writing and presentation skills. It’s great preparation for university academics.
Our Elementary School is recognized for its student-first approach and its ability to support a variety of learners, while our Middle School is not only a place where students prepare for the challenges of High School, but also a place where students can actively explore their world, both locally and globally, with programs like “Week Without Walls.”
As a school, our goal is to develop the whole child by offering generous options in academics, arts, athletics, and activities.
With our highly qualified faculty of foreigners and locals (over 70% possess MAs or above) and with incredible facilities, LAS is a wonderful, caring place that embraces its students with warmth and takes seriously its charge to develop the next leaders of this great country.
I certainly hope that you’ll take the time to visit us and consider becoming a part of our long tradition of academic excellence.
Sincerely,
Peter M Toscano, Ed.D.
Superintendent, Lahore American School
