The Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture was founded in 1989 by a group of professional architects, designers and artists who believed that Karachi was in critical need of a school of excellence encompassing the disciplines of Fine Arts, Design and Architecture.
The formal four-year programmes in Fine Arts and Design and the five-year programme in Architecture commenced in September 1990 with the admission of 45 students in the first semester. The number has progressively increased and the current intake is 127. Over 382 students are enrolled in the School. Nine batches of Fine Arts and Design students and eight batches of Architecture students have graduated.
