Our story

About Garrison Academy Kharian Cantt

Five decades of educating Kharian Cantt — heritage, leadership, conduct and facilities.

Our heritage

A legacy since 1970's

Established in 1970's within Kharian Cantonment as Toddlers' Nursery, the institution evolved into Kehkashan Academy and eventually Army Public School & College, Garrison Academy Kharian Cantt. Over five decades it has grown into one of the region's most respected schools — educating thousands across Pre-School, Middle, Senior and the Cambridge-aligned APSIS stream.

Today the campus operates under the Army Public Schools & Colleges System (APSACS), combining the discipline of a cantonment institution with modern, child-centred pedagogy.
