History
CCR is a project of the Pakistan Education Development Organization. Pakistan Education Development Organization (PEDO, LTD) is a private NGO, run by retired senior naval officers from Pakistan Navy and Education Directorate who joined hands under the leadership of Commander (R) Muhammad Sibtain Shah, who was the pioneer founder of private sector Cadet Colleges in Pakistan since 1996. Cdr. (R) Sibtain Shah, during his service in Pakistan Navy, held key positions in the Education Directorate of Pakistan Navy and initiated many new projects in education for the Pakistan Navy, while being assigned to run and establish curriculum and administration for projects like Bahria College Islamabad, Bahria University in 1996. Shah after retirement had been actively involved in education projects and construction for Pakistan Navy and his company (M/s METCO Engineering LTD) had undertook projects like Bahria College Islamabad extension, Pakistan Navy Model School, Bahria University extension and a number of private boarding schools' projects, which were run under Shah's assistance.
Shah, while having a keen interest for education and understanding its importance for the future generations, always believed in imparting quality education to the masses.
