Le Rosey Model School is a community owned non-profit co-educational institution, established in 1992 in Shishkat, village of Gojal Hunza Gilgit-Baltistan. The Hunza valley as a part of the ancient silk route set in the most majestic mountain scenery, where the Karakorum, Himalayas, Pamir and hindukush ranges meet, the Karakorum high
way snakes through the mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan toward the people republic of China, is a unique feat of engineering known as the eighth wonder of the world. The reputation of school was soon established for its standard and quality education. The performance created so many enthusiasms among the local population that plans were made to upgrade the school from primary to secondary and move it from rented accommodation to a purpose built site. In 1998 the community took the initiative t o donate the land for the construction of a purpose built building for school. In the year 2000 the construction of phase one started, which was consist of the examination hall, principal office, staff room, 04 class rooms and the toilet block. During the construction of this phase the Canadian international development agency (CIDA) kindly accepted to be our partner in the development by providing funds for the cement, wood and steel needed for the construction. The local community actively participated by donating in kinds and working as free skilled and unskilled labor to bare the lion’s share of the construction cost. In 2002 the construction of phase II was started. This phase consists of 06-class rooms, a kitchen, a store, a science lab and library. The community completed the construction of this phase in the same year with some financial help by an honorable British citizen. For the last eight to ten years the school gains a remarkable reputation for its quality education. In the history of village, it was the first time when children started qualifying for the admission tests of the premier institution of the Gilgit-Baltistan, after completing their secondary education with us.
