Best Schools in Model Town A, Bahawalpur? A Stage-by-Stage Look at What Board Lists and School Websites Record
We pulled every Model Town A entry from BISE Bahawalpur's institution search and the Federal Board's register, read the Alpina and Beaconhouse websites, and set out what each record says about classes, exams and the gaps parents must fill by phone.
Short answer
As of 11 November 2026, BISE Bahawalpur's affiliation search lists 20 Matric (SSC) entries and 6 Intermediate entries with a Model Town A address, including three government schools. Alpina and Beaconhouse's Model Town Campus print Model Town A addresses on their own websites, and Alpina describes O Level and BISE routes. Pages we read show no fee figure, and Alpina's word on buses names no Model Town A streets.
How we researched this: On 11 November 2026 we queried BISE Bahawalpur's institution search for Bahawalpur district (SSC and HSSC lists), parsed the FBISE affiliated-institutions register, and read the Beaconhouse, Alpina (including its FAQ page), The City School and Sadiq Public School pages listed under sources. A school counts as Model Town A only if one of those official records prints Model Town A in its name or address; Model Town B and C entries are kept out. Schools are grouped by stage, not ranked.
Model Town A is one of three Bahawalpur localities SchoolNama maps, alongside Satellite Town and the Cantt, and this guide is for families who want schools inside the neighbourhood rather than a citywide roundup. It applies one narrow test: the school has to appear in an official record that writes Model Town A into its name or address. The board lists spell it several ways, including MODEL TOWN(A), MODEL TOWN (A), MODEL TOWN,A and MODEL-TOWN A, and we matched all of them. Entries for Model Town B and Model Town C were set aside even where the school shares a brand with a Model Town A campus.
BISE Bahawalpur's institution search returned 510 records on its SSC list for Bahawalpur district when we ran it on 11 November 2026, and 20 of those carry a Model Town A name. Its HSSC list returned 162 records when we re-ran it on 12 November 2026, six of them in Model Town A. Many private schools register a boys' branch and a girls' branch separately, so the 20 SSC entries stand for fewer school names than the number suggests: Alpina, Allied School Bahawalpur Campus, Advance Learners School System, The Smart School Model Campus and Highbrow Public each appear twice.
Three government schools are on the lists. Govt Girls Higher Secondary School Model Town A sits on both the SSC list (code 100346, written GOVT.GIRLS H/S.S. MODEL TOWN(A)) and the HSSC list (code 300320), where BISE shows the groups Pre Medi, Pre Eng, General Science, Arts and Commerce. The other two are special-education schools: a government girls' secondary school for the visually impaired (101803) and a government boys' secondary school for the blind (101370). We did not find a mainstream government boys' school with Model Town A in its BISE name on either list on 11 November 2026. Board registration charges for Classes 9 and 11 are set out in our Bahawalpur fees article, /news/school-fees-in-bahawalpur.
The private SSC entries in Model Town A are Alpina (girls 100364, boys 100311), Allied School Bahawalpur Campus (girls 101014, boys 101013), Advance Learners School System (girls 101286; boys 101285 at 13-C Shabir Shaheed Road), The Smart School Model Campus (girls 101355, boys 101356), Highbrow Public (girls' Khadija Campus 101381; boys 101111 at 3-A Umer Road), Dominican Study Center Girls High School (100355), Dominican Convent High School for Boys (101380), Saint Dominic Convent Higher Secondary School (100326), New Leaders Secondary School for girls (101752), Pioneer High School (100304), Bahawalpur Science High School for boys at 387 Gulzar Sadiq (101303) and The Broad Vision System of Education for boys (101754).
Each BISE entry carries an affiliation session. Alpina's two entries, Dominican Study Center and Dominican Convent High School for Boys show 2026-28; Allied, Advance Learners, New Leaders, Broad Vision and Bahawalpur Science High School show 2025-27; The Smart School pair, the Highbrow pair and Pioneer show 2024-26. Saint Dominic Convent shows 2023-25 on the SSC list but 2025-27 on the HSSC list. The search form calls this its Affiliated Session filter but says nothing about what an earlier value means, so we read no lapse into any entry; before paying an admission fee, ask the school for the affiliation letter that will cover your child's Class 9 registration.
For Intermediate, the HSSC list adds Jinnah Higher Secondary School (girls 300156, boys 300157, both 2026-28), Superior College for Girls and for Boys (300178 and 300179, both entered as College, 2026-28) and Saint Dominic Convent (300206), alongside the government girls' school. One caution: Jinnah Higher Secondary School also appears on the SSC list under MODAL TOWN "C" (101132 and 101133, session 2022-24), so ask which building teaches Classes 9 and 10 and which teaches Classes 11 and 12.
The Federal Board register holds two more Model Town A entries. CB Public Girls High School & College is entered as institution 22503 on Muhammad Bin Qasim Road, Model Town A, with SSC/HSSC status, and Superior College Bahawalpur is institution 20590 on Main Ahmadpur Road, Purani Chungi, Model Town A, with HSSC status; Superior's Model Town A colleges are on BISE's HSSC list as well, while we found no CB Public entry on either BISE list. FBISE SSC is also a Matric qualification, so CB Public's Matric affiliation on record is with the Federal Board, not BISE Bahawalpur. Which classes sit in which building is not in the register.
Alpina's own website gives 16-B, Mohammad Hussain Road, Model Town A as its address, and its academic pages describe a Pre-Primary Programme for Play Group, Nursery and Kindergarten, a GCE O Level Programme offered through "Cambridge Assessment International Education and Pearson Edexcel", and BISE Matriculation and Intermediate. Its campus page lists a Head Office, Girls Campus, Pre-Primary Campus and College Campus (Intermediate Classes) separately from its Satellite Town, Hasilpur and Lodhran campuses, but prints no street address for each one and does not say which building runs O Level. Admission runs in four stages, from an application form to a placement assessment, an interview with parent and child, and confirmation, when parents pay "the admission fee and a refundable security deposit".
Beaconhouse's Model Town Campus page gives Building # 8 C, B-II Major Shabeer Shareef Shaheed Road, Model town A, and lists three programmes: Early Years Programme, Primary Years Programme and Project Based Learning. It names no secondary or Cambridge programme for this building. Beaconhouse's other Bahawalpur branch page is on Yazman Road near Airport Road, outside Model Town A, and the two Beacon House entries on BISE's SSC list give no area at all, so we could not place them. SchoolNama's profile for this campus is at /schools/beaconhouse-model-town-campus-bahawalpur.
For Cambridge families the evidence is thin. Of the school websites we read, Alpina's is the only one with a Model Town A address that describes O Level; we did not read a website for every school on the board lists. The City School's Bahawalpur directory lists two campuses, one on Dubai Noor Mehal Link Road in Adil Town and one on Airport Road, Yazman Road, shown as PG - Matric, FSC, O & A level; neither address names Model Town A.
Fee bands cannot be built from what Alpina and Beaconhouse publish. Alpina's Fee Schedule page carries no figures and refers parents to the campus administration for the current structure, payment schedules and policies. Its concessions page lists categories including merit, financial need with Zakat-supported cases, orphans, Hafiz-e-Quran and children of armed forces and police personnel, and says concessions are "granted for one academic session only and must be renewed annually". Alpina's FAQ page names the parts of its bill (tuition, a one-time admission fee, a refundable security deposit, examination and extracurricular fees) but again sends parents to the accounts office for amounts. The Beaconhouse Model Town page and the two board lists carry no fee figures.
On transport, Alpina's FAQ page, and the same question on its home page, says yes: its buses run on "major routes in the city", with GPS tracking, and says transport fees are extra and vary by distance. That answer carries no update date, and it lists no routes or amounts and does not say which campus the buses serve. The Beaconhouse Model Town page has no transport wording that we could find, and neither board list has a transport field. Journey minutes appear nowhere in the material we gathered, so we offer no estimate. The street names in the records (Mohammad Hussain Road, Major Shabeer Shareef Shaheed Road for Beaconhouse, Shabir Shaheed Road for the Advance Learners boys' branch, Umer Road, Gulzar Sadiq, Muhammad Bin Qasim Road and Main Ahmadpur Road at Purani Chungi) are the starting points for a trial run at the hour your child would travel.
Some other names did not pass our test. Sadiq Public School's home and About pages print no Model Town A address, and its About page places the school opposite the Bahawalpur Forest Reserve on the road to Dera Nawab Sahib. BISE places Allied School Ahmad Campus in Model Town C and both Dar-e-Arqam entries in Satellite Town. The FBISE register's three Army Public School entries for Bahawalpur district give Noor Mahal Campus in Bahawalpur Cantt, Dera Nawab Sahib and Asrani in Khairpur Tamewali tehsil, and it puts F.G. Inter College at Bilal Colony, Noor Mahal Road, Bahawalpur Cantt.
SchoolNama's own data needs the same correction. On 11 November 2026 our script read the five SchoolNama campus files: Bahawalpur has 30 records, 11 carry the Model Town A tag, and not one has fee data. Only Beaconhouse Model Town Campus matches an official Model Town A address. The other ten are map-derived records that include Allied School Ahmad Campus (Model Town C per BISE), two Sadiq Public School entries, two Army Public School entries and three F.G.-named records, none of which matches a Model Town A address in the FBISE register (its Army Public and F.G. entries for the district give Bahawalpur Cantt, Dera Nawab Sahib, Asrani, Trust Colony or Bilal Colony addresses); the last two, Govt Degree College for Women (spelt Degeree in our record) and Best College, are not confirmed by any official record we read. Families can browse the area page at /bahawalpur/model-town-a or the wider /bahawalpur listing, and use /compare once they have two or three names.

Checklist before you decide
- ✓Ask the school office for the BISE affiliation letter that covers the year your child registers for Class 9, and match its session against the board's search page.
- ✓If the school has separate boys' and girls' branches, confirm which branch address your child would attend before you plan the route.
- ✓At Alpina, ask which Alpina building teaches your child's class and whether O Level runs from Class 9 there or at another campus.
- ✓At Beaconhouse Model Town Campus, ask where pupils go after the Primary Years Programme, since the branch page lists no secondary stage.
- ✓At Jinnah Higher Secondary School, check which of its Model Town A and Model Town C entries holds Classes 9 and 10.
- ✓Decide early between BISE Bahawalpur and the Federal Board; CB Public is on the FBISE register, most other Model Town A schools on BISE's.
- ✓Get each charge on paper for your joining session, labelled monthly, annual or one-off, and ask how and when any security deposit is returned.
- ✓Ask whether the school's buses or vans pass your street, how the transport charge is worked out, and then time one morning trip yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Which schools have a Model Town A address on an official record?
On 11 November 2026, BISE Bahawalpur's search showed 20 SSC entries and 6 HSSC entries with Model Town A in the name, covering schools such as Govt Girls Higher Secondary School, Alpina, Allied School Bahawalpur Campus, Advance Learners, The Smart School Model Campus, Highbrow Public, the Dominican and Saint Dominic schools, Jinnah Higher Secondary School and Superior College. The FBISE register adds CB Public Girls High School & College, and Beaconhouse's own page places its Model Town Campus there.
What fee range should a family expect in Model Town A?
When checked on 11 November 2026, SchoolNama found no fee figure on the Alpina or Beaconhouse Model Town pages we read or on either board list. Alpina's site says tuition details are available from the School Office and that admission requires an admission fee and a refundable security deposit, without amounts. Board dues for Classes 9 and 11 are covered in SchoolNama's Bahawalpur fee guide at /news/school-fees-in-bahawalpur; for tuition, ask each school for its schedule on paper.
Where in Model Town A can my child take Matric, and is O Level offered?
The 20 SSC-list entries are BISE Bahawalpur's Matric-level affiliations in Model Town A (check each session column), and CB Public Girls High School & College is on the Federal Board's SSC list. For O Level, among the school websites we read, Alpina is the only Model Town A school describing a GCE O Level programme, through Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel; it does not name the building. Beaconhouse's branch page for Model Town stops at its primary programme.
Do Model Town A schools run their own vans?
Alpina says it provides transport: on 11 November 2026 its FAQ page answered yes, describing buses on "major routes in the city" with fees added according to distance, but it names no route or Model Town A street. We found no transport wording on the Beaconhouse Model Town page, and the BISE and FBISE lists hold no transport field. Before you count on a seat, have the office confirm in writing whether a bus stops near your home and what it costs per term or month.
What streets do these schools sit on, and how many minutes is the morning drive?
No source we read gives travel minutes, so we quote none. The records name the streets: Mohammad Hussain Road for Alpina, Major Shabeer Shareef Shaheed Road for Beaconhouse, Shabir Shaheed Road for Advance Learners (boys), Umer Road for Highbrow (boys), Gulzar Sadiq for Bahawalpur Science High School, Muhammad Bin Qasim Road for CB Public and Main Ahmadpur Road at Purani Chungi for Superior College. Make one test run in rush-hour traffic first.
Can a three-year-old start school in Model Town A?
Alpina describes a Pre-Primary Programme for Play Group, Nursery and Kindergarten, and its age guide, given "for reference purposes only", puts Play Group at age 3. Beaconhouse Model Town Campus lists an Early Years Programme but its branch page states no entry age. Alpina's site does not print a separate street address for its Pre-Primary Campus.
Why is Sadiq Public School missing from this list?
Our test needs an official record that prints Model Town A. Sadiq Public School's own website gives no Model Town A address (its About page places the school opposite the Bahawalpur Forest Reserve on the road to Dera Nawab Sahib), and its Bahawalpur-city BISE entries carry no area name. The same test left out Allied School Ahmad Campus, which BISE places in Model Town C.
