Aitchison College is a public fee-charging and boarding secondary school for boys in Lahore, Pakistan. It has educated prime ministers, including Imran Khan, Feroz Khan Noon, presidents, lawyers, cricketers, and politicians. It is often described as the Eton of Pakistan.[1]
Aitchison was originally formed on 2 January 1886 in then British India, as the Punjab Chiefs' College and was renamed Aitchison College on 13 November 1886.[2] However, the inception of the college can be traced back to 1868 as the Wards School in Ambala, after which it became Chiefs' College in Lahore.
It is a member of the G30 Schools of the World.Aitchison College is also the only school in Pakistan's history to be listed in the Carfax ranking of the top 125 institutions of the world[3]
