School life, in 37 photographs

Every photograph on this page is a Spring Buds School photograph, taken in our building in Federal B Area Block 11, Gulberg Town, Karachi, or at an occasion our students were part of, and every one of them went up on our own Facebook page first. They are grouped by the day they were taken, newest first.

No stock photography, nothing generated, no picture of a school that is not ours. Teachers took these on their phones while the event was going on, which is why a few of them are soft.

Where did these photographs come from?

Our Facebook page. Each group below links back to the post it was published in, so the date written here can be checked against the date on the post. Photographs have been going up there since the school opened in 2018, but Facebook now serves the older albums to a logged out visitor at 390 pixels wide, and a file that small cannot be shown at any useful size. The sets that survive are all from 2026. We have asked for the originals of the rest.

Two groups carry a caveat, and both are the fault of the platform rather than the school. The prize distribution post has no public link of its own, so its source line goes to the page it sits on. The annual function frames belong to a single album that could have gone up on either of two days that June, which is why the date is written as the day of the event and not as the day of the post.

One picture from that awards evening is not here on purpose. It carries a printed list of student names, and those names are not ours to publish.

How the school started, and who teaches here, is on the about page.

See it on a weekday morning

A good deal of what happens here has never been photographed for a public page. The science fair and entrepreneurship day run every year and neither one has a set we can publish. Nor does an ordinary Tuesday in Grade 4, which is most of what a school actually is. Timings are Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM, and the middle of a morning is when there is most to watch.

The days themselves
Why each of these occasions happens, and what else the school year holds. School events and traditions
The work
All 13 levels, Play Group to Grade 8, and what a child does in each one. Academics, level by level
