i'm going be moving to islamabad this summer and just had a few questions i wanted to ask

i am thinking of sending my kids to Oak School and city School and just wanted to know if anyone knew the schools were any good? or had kids at the school or knew a good school? the kids age are 2, 8, 11 and 12

i also wanted to know what the quality of the houses are like in islamabad and if you are allowed to build your own swimming pool in the back garden?

Another question was is there any gyms or activities to do for kids and adults?

i would be very greatful for any infomation regarding there matters above.

Ok welcome to islamabad. as far as city school is concerned it is a good one and have a western style and most outsiders prefer it. other schools are beaconhouse, preparatory school, roots etc. i donot know exacrly about oak. u will find every quality of house of all rental prices from a studio apartment to banglow of 500 sq yards. i think it will not be feasible for you to build swimming pool in the house u can have swimming at some good sites like islamabad club, marriot hotel, serena hotel etc. u will also find lot of gyms and other activities in islamabad. feel free to ask if u need further help and u can mail me personally also

There are few other good schools as well like head starter for younger kids and west minister in sector F-8, International Grammar School in F-11. Beacon House School is also very good; they have branches in different sectors of Islamabad.
You can find quality houses in Islamabad. You can get a lot of information about real estate in Islamabad from my website www.forcesestate.com . Normally its not allowed to build a swimming pool in the house in Islamabad but some people have pools in their houses. There are lot of Gyms and other areas for activities in Islamabad.
