IVS School Leadership
The Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture is registered as a not-for-profit, non-commercial institution. It's operations are overseen by an independent Board of Governors and is managed by an Executive Committee, through the office of the Executive Director. IVS was granted an independent charter by the Government of Sindh in June 1994, thereby empowering it to award its own degrees. It was the fourth private institution of higher learning in Pakistan to be given that status.

Message from the Dean & Executive Director
Dr. Faiza Mushtaq
Dean and Executive Director
Welcome to the Indus Valley School
of Art and Architecture. This is an exciting time to be at IVS as we celebrate
the thirty-year milestone in our history, and look ahead at taking the
institution to new levels of creative and academic excellence. The School has
established itself as a premiere institution of higher learning in Pakistan,
and has trained an entire generation of artists, designers, architects,
scholars and creative practitioners whose influence is felt widely across
society. We are continuing to expand and upgrade our programmes and facilities,
and aim to reach even higher standards of excellence over the next thirty
years.
The IVS philosophy has always
emphasized a holistic approach towards learning, one that recognizes our
responsibility towards the community that we are part of and engagement with
local, regional, and global developments. The research and creative practice of
our students and faculty is grounded in the urban context of Karachi while also
being informed by ideas, resources and collaborations reaching across our
inter-connected, globalized world. Within the IVS community, we are firmly
committed to upholding the values of academic and artistic freedom, compassion,
dignity and inclusivity.
