Lahore Grammar School Private Limited was established in January 1979. The nationalization of educational institutions in 1972 had led to an alarming decline in the standard of instruction and facilities provided in most schools and colleges. Interventions in the realm of education were thus critical to arrest this abysmal state of affairs.

In 1978 the Government announced that it would welcome initiatives in the educational sector. In response to this, a group of women from varied professional backgrounds, including education, with the mutual objective of contributing to this field, decided to set up a school for girls.

Presently LGS is a network of schools, colleges and University of London programmes situated in cities across Pakistan.
