General Education

NURSERY AND PREP SECTION

The First Educational step that a child takes at an impressionable age of four is in Nursery and then on to Prep. Bearing in mind that the foundation of a child personality is laid and two third of his/her intellect formed at this age, we have created an environment and system of teaching which is entirely Child friendly. The students of these Classes are housed in a separate Block with their own work area, play-area and well equipped activity room. Formal learning of the three R’s is introduced in Nursery. It finds a more prominent place in the Prep Curriculum, when the child is five. Recognition, reading and writing of Urdu and English alphabet and small words are then introduced. Basic arithmetic concepts are also introduced here.

JUNIOR SECTION

The basic concepts that a child was introduced to the Preschool take a more firm footing here and the syllabus becomes more Broad-based. The Young learner is gradually exposed to subjects like Urdu, English, Mathematics, General science and Social Studies besides teaching of Islamiyat & Naazra Quran. Efforts are made to make teaching communicative and Interactive to encourage student’s participation.

MIDDLE SECTION

The Curriculum, for Classes VI to VIII is designed to develop the all round personality of students. It includes Academics as well as a variety of curricular activities.

The facility for offering ‘Zuhr’ prayer is also ensured in other campuses where specific places have been reserved and maintained for this purpose. Separate rooms have been earmarked in each girl’s school for offering prayers by the lady teachers and girls Students.

HOMEWORK

We believe that Homework is an extension of the School activity and a crucial part of children’s education. This helps them to: develop independent study skills, acquire disciplined work attitudes and to meet deadlines, practice skills learnt at school, make rapid individual progress, whenever appropriate prepare for future lessons, and show that they have understood the lesson. In the early classes, the Homework requires very little time to be completed but as children progress through the School, this span of time increases considerably. Active involvement and encouragement of Students by parents along with guidance at home for completing homework is in the great interest of the child.

STUDENTS DIARY

Students’ diary is a ready and convenient source for parents to interact with the Teachers about the Academic activities of their child. Students / teachers are supposed to record all that is taught in the classes each day along with the Homework given to reinforce classroom learning. The record of student’s performance in class test is also maintained in the diaries which are supposed to be signed by the parents regularly.
