Parents who are considering buying in Faisal Hills ask me two things most often. Is there a school inside the society? And is it a good one?

The answer to both is yes. Roots International School has opened its Columbia Park Campus inside the Executive Block of Faisal Hills. It is operational right now. This blog tells you everything a parent needs to know before making any decision.

Quick Facts

About Roots International School

Roots International School has been running in Pakistan for a long time. Most people in Islamabad and Rawalpindi already know the name. The school has campuses across both cities and a few other areas too.

The Faisal Hills campus is called Columbia Park Campus. It is the biggest Roots campus opened so far. For families buying in Faisal Hills, having this school already running inside the society is a real advantage.

Campus Location

The school is in Executive Block, right next to Faisal Jewel. Margalla Hills are right behind it. Open space, green surroundings. Very different from a typical school in the middle of the city.

Executive Block and Block A residents can reach it quickly. Some sectors are close enough to walk. Block B and Block D residents are further inside the society but still do not have to touch GT Road for school drop-off.

That matters a lot in daily life. School drop-off happens every single morning. If it means going on GT Road twice a day, that is a real inconvenience. When the school is inside the society, that problem just does not exist.

Curriculum and Academic Approach

Roots International School offers Cambridge and Pakistani board curricula across its campuses. For the exact options available at the Faisal Hills campus, contact the school directly.

The campus has modern classrooms, innovation labs, and proper learning spaces. And being right next to the Margalla Hills means the environment is open and green. Most schools in Rawalpindi and Islamabad cannot say that.

Admissions

Admissions at Roots International School campuses follow a standard process. For the Faisal Hills Columbia Park Campus specifically, the process involves:

Contacting the school directly to check seat availability for the relevant grade. Filling out the application form. An entry test or assessment for certain grades. An interview in some cases for higher grades. Document submission including CNIC copies of parents, birth certificate of the child, previous school records, and passport-size photos.

For the most accurate and current admissions information for the Faisal Hills campus, contact Roots International School directly or visit the campus.

Fee Structure

The fee structure for Roots International School varies by campus and grade level. The Faisal Hills Columbia Park Campus fee details are best confirmed directly with the school administration.

• Generally, Roots International School fees are in the mid to higher range compared to government schools but comparable to other private school networks of similar standing in the twin cities.
• For a school inside an RDA-approved housing society with this kind of campus setup, the fee structure is expected to reflect the quality of facilities.

What This Means for Families in Faisal Hills

I have talked to a lot of parents who were on the fence about buying in Faisal Hills. The school question came up almost every time.

• Before Roots opened, the answer was that there are schools in Taxila and Wah nearby. That is true, but it meant daily driving outside the society.
• Now the answer is different. One of the most recognised school networks in Pakistan has its largest campus inside Executive Block. Parents can drop kids off without leaving the society.
• For families with school-going children, this changes the calculation significantly. It is not just a convenience. It is a real quality of life difference.

What This Means for Plot Buyers and Investors

A school like this inside the society directly affects property values in Executive Block and Block A. Families specifically look for good schools when choosing where to buy. When a recognised school is already inside, it removes one of the biggest reasons people hesitate.

Plots in Executive Block near the school and Faisal Jewel are in the highest demand. The combination of GT Road frontage, school inside, tower going up, and Margalla Hills backdrop makes that part of the society a strong investment argument.

Other Schools Near Faisal Hills

For families who want options beyond Roots, there are other schools nearby outside the society.

• HITEC University Taxila is 13 minutes away. The university area around HITEC also has several schools. Taxila itself has multiple school options 5 to 10 minutes from the Faisal Hills gate.
• Wah Cantt has a stronger school concentration, including some of the better-established schools in the Rawalpindi-Islamabad belt, about 10 to 15 minutes away.
• But for families who specifically want their child’s school inside the housing society with no external commute, Roots International School Faisal Hills is the only option right now.
