The Convent of Jesus Mary, Murree is a girls school located in Murree, Punjab, Pakistan. It was founded in 1876, by a French woman named Claudine Thévenet, foundress of the Religious of Jesus Mary, whose sole purpose for the school was to train young ladies so that they make good housewives and women in life. Though this is a convent school yet Islamic studies are studies here as well.
The school operated as a boarding school from its establishment until 2007.[1]
"We have served students all over the country for 135 years. It is time now to concentrate on the people of Murree. This town has also changed as it has expanded and there are many children today. We had 160 girls in the boarding and right now we have 400 day-scholars. There is no limit on the number of students that will join the school."
— Sister Mercedes, Principal of Convent of Jesus Mary.[1]
