Chand Bagh School (Urdu: چاند باغ پاٹھ شالا) is an independent boarding school for boys at Muridke in Pakistan, approximately 40 km north of Lahore. The school opened in September 1998, having been conceived as a Pakistani version of The Doon School of India. The name "Chand Bagh" refers to the Doon School's estate at Dehradun, India. ==History and name== The origins of the school lie in the independence of Pakistan in 1947 and the series of Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts which have since followed. In 1985 a group of Pakistan's "Ex-Doscos", alumni of the Doon School, who had attended it in the days of British India, travelled to Dehradun in India to attend the school's 50th anniversary celebrations. On their return they formed a Doon School Society of Pakistan, which aimed to create a Pakistani version of their old school.〔'THE CHAND BAGH SCHOOL (Project of Doon School Society of Pakistan)', in ''Educational Directory of Pakistan 1995–96'' (Ibrahim Publishers, 1995), p. 318〕 After many years in gestation, the school was finally founded by Lieutenant General Ghulam Jilani Khan, a former Governor of the Punjab Province, himself a Dosco,〔Nauman Tasleem, ''(Punjab govt donates Rs 60m to an elite school )'' dated 17 June 2011 from ''Pakistan Today'' online at pakistantoday.com.pk. Retrieved 24 March 2012〕 and ten fellow-trustees. In many respects Chand Bagh is modelled on Doon School, Dehradun.〔Azhar M. A. Qureshi, (HISTORY & BACKGROUND ) at chandbagh.edu.pk. Retrieved 22 March 2012〕 The name "Chand Bagh" means "moon garden"〔Jaskiran Chopra, ''(Month of deja vu for Doon, Mussoorie old-timers )'' from ''The Pioneer'' dated 31 August 2011 at dailypioneer.com. Retrieved 24 March 2012: "September is a memorable month for the famous Doon School as it was in this month in the year 1935, 76 years ago, that... Athar Hussain was the very first student to join the school and he arrived on the picturesque Chand Bagh (Garden of the Moon) campus on September 9, 1935."〕 and was chosen in memory of the original Doon School, which had been established in 1935 on the Chand Bagh estate at Dehradun,〔''The Indian Year Book'', vol. 29 (Bennett, Coleman & Co., 1942) p. 373〕 now in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The principal architect of the new buildings, which have Romanesque influences, was Kamil Khan Mumtaz.〔Kamil Khan Mumtaz, ''Modernity and tradition: contemporary architecture in Pakistan'' (Oxford University Press, 1999), p. 123〕 The school opened its doors in September 1998 and occupies a campus of some 190 acres.〔(Principal's Message ) at chandbagh.pk. Retrieved 22 March 2012〕 Around the campus are the Chand Bagh Farms, a further 270 acres. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chand Bagh School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
