Queen Mary College (QMC), officially known as Government Queen Mary Graduate College, is an autonomous college for girls in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.[2]
It was established on December 10, 1908, as Victoria May Girls High School and renamed in honor of the Queen Consort of King George V in 1911.[3] Although it was renamed Queen Mary College in 1911, the first college-level class, the Intermediate (Arts) class, commenced in 1955.[2] The college expanded to become a degree-granting college in 1966.[2] The college historically functioned in conjunction with Aitchison College, serving as a counterpart for daughters of the elite.[2][4] This arrangement necessitated coordinated schedules and holidays.[2] Initially, the college also admitted young boys in the Junior Section up to class V.[2]
Queen Mary College provides preschool, primary, secondary, undergraduate as well as postgraduate education and preparation for international GCE O Level examination.
