Abbottabad Public School was established in April 1961 by the Ministry of Education, West Pakistan, as the first residential public school of its kind. Reopened under the patronage of the President of Pakistan, it began its journey under the leadership of founding Principal M.A. Rehman. Set in the scenic hills of Abbottabad, the school quickly gained a reputation for academic excellence, attracting students from across Pakistan and abroad, including South Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East. The first Board of Governors was formed in 1961. After the One Unit policy in 1962-63, control shifted to a provincial BoG. Following its dissolution, the school came under the Government of NWFP (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) under the 1971 Education Ordinance. Over the decades, APS has become a leading institution, producing graduates who serve in the Armed Forces, Civil Services, and professional sectors.
