Cadet College Murree
Introduction
Cadet College Murree is one of the main attractions of Murree District. Many parents choose this institution for the education of their children. We’ll explore different aspects of this college in the lines below.
Background of CCM
Armed Forces have been held in high esteem by the residents of Pakistanis since its creation in 1947. The trend of education has been on the rise for some decades now, in the country. Many parents dream of seeing their young one in uniform, serving the nation as a Serviceman of the Armed Forces of the country. For this purpose, there are several institutions in the country. CCM is also one such institution.
Establishment
The college is not so old. As a matter of fact, it is just 21 years old, hardly. It was established in 2002. Technically speaking, it is a Higher Secondary School. Higher Secondary Education is usually offered by institutions that are specific for this level only and they are known as colleges. That is why its identity too is that of a college and not of a school.

Pros of Admission to CCM
The benefits of joining MCM are as follows:
Location
Set amidst the picturesque beauty of Murree, a hill station famous for its pristine air and invigorating environment, the students enrolled at CCM undergo rigorous physical training that prepares them for the demanding challenges of their future lives. This unique blend of physical fitness and natural splendor fosters extraordinary resilience, a testament to the fact that training in such an environment elevates stamina to a level far surpassing that of ordinary individuals.
Academics
CCM’s primary focus is nurturing future’s building blocks of the nation. In addition to that, Cadet College Murree offers academic excellence to its students. Despite the Armed Forces’ relatively lenient academic requirements, the college maintains high educational standards. This dedication to academic rigor is a key reason why many students choose CCM for their educational journey.
Character Development
Parents’ apprehension about sending their children to boarding schools in remote locations often centers on character development. This concern is understandable given that adolescents when left unsupervised, may engage in activities that could negatively impact their character. CCM has implemented a robust system to safeguard the students’ moral growth. Islamic education in the college is taught as a compulsory subject in this regard.
Modern and Well-Equipped Campus
Despite Murree’s remote location, CCM campus rivals that of any modern college in the country. The state-of-the-art facilities and equipment provide a stimulating learning environment for the students, even those from bustling metropolises. This without any doubt must be sufficient to alleviate any concerns parents may have about sending their children to a boarding school in a rural setting.
Cons of Admission to CCM
The Distance Between the Parents and Sons
This is one of the main disadvantages of sending your children to not only CCM but to any boarding school. Many parents think that the purpose of having a family is to spend time together and there is no point in sending your kid to a cadet school or college. This stands valid as an alternative viewpoint. Even many students report homesickness due to the strict enforcement of the discipline.
Uniformity in Thought Pattern
Armed forces are not suitable for persons who want to stand out from the rest i.e. those who think differently than others. Since cadet colleges prepare future soldiers and officers, parents must keep this thing in mind that if their child has a different aptitude from others, the boarding school or college might not be the right place for him.
