Abbottabad Public School is located at an altitude of about 4500 feet.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aps.edu.pk )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.satsig.net/maps/lat-long-finder.htm )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://aps.edu.pk/2010/03/abbottabad-public-school.html )〕 == History == In 1957, Pakistan Railways opened up a school outside Abbottabad on land donated by Sardar Bahadur Khan, brother of Field Marshal Ayub Khan who later became the President of Pakistan. The school was called Railway Public School. After two years it was closed and then after a gap of one year, in April 1961, the school was renamed as Abbottabad Public School. In 1986, Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, the then President, renamed the institution as Abbottabad Public School and College. Later on, the school Board of Governors, in its meeting on July 20, 2002, deleted the words “and College” and gave the institute its original name Abbottabad Public School. It is popularly known as APS and its alumni as Abbottonians. The founding Principal was M. A. Rahman. The main campus is 10 km outside Abbottabad on the road (Mansehra Road) that eventually becomes Karakoram Highway. It covers an area of about . The school is surrounded by deep natural crevices in almost a U-shape. The only non-crevice side faces a high mountain. The Karakoram Highway passes between the school and the mountain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abbottabad Public School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
