Established in 2006, Rawalpindi Forces & Pre-Cadet School was the first Pre-Cadet Training boarding institution of its kind in the country, organized in the Islamic tradition.
Mr. Shahid Jamil Qureshi, who gave this institution a remarkable start, which the successive generations of principals, teachers and RFAians are trying to maintain by putting in their all-out efforts. Primarily, the institute prepares the cadets for the SSC and HSSC examinations and GCE ‘O’ Level Cambridge University Examinations. Every year, the institute distinguishes itself by securing most of the top positions of Rawalpindi Board examinations.
Similarly, it achieves admirable success in Cambridge University Examinations. Moreover, being a residential institution it offers a wide range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, which instill leadership qualities and confidence in the cadets and give them an opportunity to explore and then promote their talents; it also emphasizes on all-round personality development and character-building of its cadets.
The total strength of the Institue is about 300 cadets, who are selected in a batch of nearly 120 in 8th grade after qualifying the written examination and interview. The training is oriented to prepare the cadets for the Armed Forces, but they are at liberty to pursue any career of their choice. Nowadays, RFAIANS are joining all walks of life, leaving their mark in almost every profession.
In the battlefield, the old boys of this Institute have set records of bravery by sacrificing their lives for their sacred Motherland. Sitara-e-Jurat has been conferred on as many as 9 old boys of the Institute! The list of achievements of RFAIANS in civil and Armed Forces goes on and on! This Institute has contributed comprehensively and substantially to the progress of our country: perhaps, it has delivered far more and far better than visualized by its founding fathers. Truly, it would not be wrong to say that this institute has earned a unique and unparalleled place of excellence all across Pakistan.
