How we teach

Teaching Methodology

01

Relevant Syllabus

Different books are consulted and relevant topics appropriate to Pakistani culture are picked, which then forms the syllabus for that class.

02

Lesson Planning

Based on research, the teacher plans each lesson and is not restricted to one book. She consults different resources to find the best possible knowledge for every lesson.

03

Activity-Based Learning

Teaching techniques are activity based, through practical, hands-on work rather than lectures.

📒

Student Diary

Each student has a school diary, which is used to record all the essential instructions, examination date sheet, homework, assignments, fee challans and special activities etc. Diary is also used as a channel for communication between the teacher and the parents.

Daily check: the diary must be seen and signed by parents every day.

Lost diary? If the diary is lost, parents should inform the class teacher immediately.

🏠

Homework

Formal homework is not given to the students of junior classes. We believe that a student is required to learn and do the necessary work during the school hours. Informal home tasks may be given which could be as follows:

  • Learning of spellings
  • Learning of tables
  • Handwriting practice
  • Reinforcement of daily learning
  • Reading story books to improve reading skills
  • Obtaining current news

However all the students are expected to undertake some home study. Parents/guardians are required to check school diary regularly and assist/guide their wards accordingly.
