The study was conducted in a community secondary school run by the local community and Aga Khan Education Service, Pakistan (AKES, P) jointly in the context of Gilgit-Baltistan, Exploratory qualitative method was used to investigate the research question. This study aimed to explore how community involvement is used as a pathway for school improvement. Specifically, the inquiry focused on the stakeholders' perceptions about the experiences of school-community partnerships and the effect of this partnership on school improvement. The strategies and practices that facilitate community involvement, the challenges in involvement of community, and the strategies stakeholders use to overcome these challenges were investigated. The findings of the study revealed that there is a general belief among parents, community, teachers and students that the school is functioning well according to its set goals, due to community involvement.
