Retrieved on 2013-01-29.〕 The first branch of the school was opened in the PECHS area as it occupied a central position in Karachi and was considered a logistically better accessible area.〔 Starting out with 1 student in its first branch, FPS gradually decreased its capacity to offer primary, pre-secondary and secondary grade education. It leased many residential buildings to operate in a limited budget and had different grade levels at different locations. After maintaining its standard successfully and achieving a reputable position amongst other schools FPS started planning to expand its campuses in building built to cater educational needs. By receiving lands subsidized by the government FPS managed to score 6 new campuses around Karachi that deliver modern facilities to its students with a state of the art architectural design. In 1992 Raza Minhas, Yasmeen Minhas and Sabiha Mohammad laid the foundation for a sister brand named Head Start School System (HS) which was founded to provide kindergarten education.〔(Head Start School System :: Official Website ). Hs.edu.pk. Retrieved on 2013-01-29.〕 This new brand was introduced to secure more admission fees paid by parents to admit their children in FPS to start primary school. In addition to such fees, FPS was saved itself from the obligation of guaranteeing admission after graduating from HS. Recently, HS has started to offer primary and secondary level education but its main focus still remains at kindergarten. In contrast to FPS standards, HS has a target market of low to middle level class of citizens however, educational standards are not comparable. In 2004 FPS built the O Level campus that caters for grades 7 to 11 (O Level). Students were transferred from the old campus to this new building and admissions were open to fill up the space. FPS was in the phase of shutting down its Matrix campuses in Karachi and students were given the option to either leave school or write an admission test to secure a position at the new O Level campus. FPS later changed its plan when threatened with legal action and operated the campus until 2007 when the last batch failed. FPS has six campuses housing students from pre-nursery to Z-Level are operating in Karachi, while our three campuses in Hyderabad cater to students from reception to O-Level and Intermediate.〔 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「Foundation Public School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
