About Kinnaird College Lahore

About The Moto of Kinnaird


Light to guide us, courage to support us and love to unite us. In these simple but stirring words lies the quintessence of the spirit of Kinnaird, the oldest and most distinguished women's college of Pakistan. Kinnaird is an institute of learning where a unique and productive blend of education and values has continued to flourish for ninety five years.

The Moto of Kinnaird

Kinnaird's beginnings were humble and simple. In its early years, at the start of the 20th century, it was housed near the Kinnaird High School, Lahore. Here the intermediate classes began in 1913, followed by B.A Classes four years later. But even at that early stage Kinnaird sensed the need for more room to grow and so the college moved to Lake Road in 1926.

Growing Needs

In 1933, land was acquired near Lahore's famous canal and new building was constructed to house the streaming number of girls who flocked to this institution. By 1939 the twenty acre campus was humming wit activity. Today Kinnaird ranks as the country's premier institution for education where over 2800 students are enrolled at present.

Kinnaird...An Autonomous Institution

Kinnaird has achieved its independent status years of struggle. It is already conducting classes leading to a Masters Degree in English Literature, Applied Linguistics, Mass Communications, French, English Language Teaching, Environment Sciences, Science Education, Statics and computer sciences. M.S in Accounting and Finance and M.Phil in Environment Sciences have been introduce last year. Various other programs will be started this fall, the list can be see at the end of the prospectus.

Kinnaird has always been an institution of special significance. It is more than a college; a community enriched by the spirit of inquiry that kindles in the students a dedication to higher values of education and culture that is reflected in almost 150 teachers who comprise the staff. Young students at Kinnaird are taught to acquire knowledge not only to acquire degree but to explore every avenue so that their personalities bloom fully.

The MOUs were signed in the last academic year: with the University of Birmingham for ELT and Applied Linguistic Post Graduate programs and with the University of Victoria for Environment Sciences.

The teachers encourage a spirit of inquiry, research and participation in their students. Above all students who enter Kinnaird leave with a mark of quality and wider appreciation of human values.

Kinnaird makes this transition possible because it produce women who are individuals in their own right, who quickly begin to display intelligence, competence, flexibility, maturity and a sense of responsibility both to their academic pursuits and in their overall personality development. The graduate of Kinnaird continue to make major contributions to the civic life of Pakistan and to many communities abroad, where they tend to excel by virtue of their special grounding at Kinnaird.

In fact of declining education and disciplinary standards that have unfortunately characterized our country, the responsibility of maintaining standards of excellence has fallen on Kinnaird, but it has met this challenge with its customary zeal and spirit. Its academic record has continued to soar higher every year.
