The Learning School is result of hard work and visionary efforts of concerned citizens of Kot Radha Kishen (Kasur, Punjab, Pakistan) who envisioned a happy and caring atmosphere for our children to evolve into the role model for future. TLS is a Centre of Excellence where parents can send their children with confidence. We at TLS reflect a clear sense of purpose which is shared amongst all involved with the school. Our school is a welcoming place where all those who work feel a sense of belonging. At TLS we have created an environment which is rich and stimulating and where the confidence of young children is nurtured.
