About
Lawrence College Ghora Gali is one of Pakistan’s most distinguished and oldest educational institutions. Established in 1860 in memory of Brigadier General Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence — three years after his death at Lucknow — the college was raised with a major contribution from his family, with the noble purpose of providing quality education to the sons of British and Indian soldiers serving in the Indian subcontinent. Situated at an altitude of 6,395 feet (approximately 1,950 metres) above sea level in the scenic Murree Hills of Punjab, Pakistan, the college spans a magnificent campus of approximately 100 acres. The natural setting — surrounded by pine forests, clear mountain air and breathtaking vistas — creates an ideal environment for academic pursuit and character building. Established in 1860, following the vision of Sir Henry Lawrence, LCGG is the oldest residential institution of its type in Pakistan. Lawrence College started as an asylum with the object to provide a plain and practical education to the orphans and children of the British soldiers in India. It had 82 children in its care initially. The number rose to 204 boys and 101 girls in 1914 when it was taken over by the Government of Punjab, as the Lawrence Memorial School; and to 356 boys and 124 girls when it became Lawrence College in 1927 with the construction of the lower estate. The girls’ section was transferred to St. Denys’ School, Murree in 1949. The college was handed over to a Board of Governors in 1962 (grant of autonomy by the Punjab Government), effective to date. The students of this prestigious institution are known as Gallians. Gallians have performed extremely well in every walk of life — as distinguished public servants, politicians, artists, military officials, businessmen, doctors and engineers. The college is ranked among the top few schools in the country and is renowned for providing high-quality teaching to its pupils combined with all-round development of character and leadership qualities. Today, there are about 700+ boys on the rolls of the three schools. Started in 1860 in unpretentious barracks, housing about 82 boys and girls of different ages, it developed into its present estate comprising the Junior, Preparatory and Senior Schools in different phases.
