History

The school was founded by Sybil D'Abreo, a Goan woman, in 1931 in her home located in Cincinnatus Town.[2][3] Sybil D'Abreo named the school after her parents, Julia and Felix, and coined a word Jufel based on their name's initial letters.[3]

In 1974, the school was nationalized by the Government of Pakistan.[1][5]

The medium of instruction was switched to Urdu under the Zia administration.[2]

As of 2013, around 1,700 students were studying at the school.[2]
