St. Francis' Grammar School is a private Catholic secondary school located in Baluchistan, Pakistan.[1] The school is situated on the Zarghoon Road (formerly known as Lytton Road). The school has playgrounds, hostel facilities (till the 80s), and a well stocked children's library.
The school was founded in 1936 by Msgr. Salesius Lemmens OFM, Apostolic Prefect to educate the children of British soldiers stationed in the area.[1][2] The school had the distinction of having Father Liberius Pieterse as Assistant Principal from 1937 to 1939 who translated the Bible into Urdu.
