The Christian Girls’ Boarding School was established in 1892, with four borders, by the Women’s Association for Foreign Missions. The aim of the Association was to extend women’s access to education and health care. The first head of the school was Miss Mary E. Scorgie, who would move to Daska to marry William Scott, and was replaced by Miss Margaret Black in 1894. The girls at the school were predominantly from a Muslim background and had joined the school by achieving high grades in a village school or having been adopted by the school. The Association would have seven European women working in Sialkot by 1906
