Academics

A curriculum that is reviewed and improved every year, taught by teachers who know their subjects.

Curriculum and affiliation

Designed with care, updated every year.

Designing a school curriculum takes foresight and imagination. We evaluate and improve ours year after year to keep it current, and we look for the most effective way to teach each part of it.

Textbooks are selected against the student learning outcomes of the National Curriculum and include books from Oxford University Press. The school also prints its own workbooks and worksheets to fill any gaps.

Stage by stage

What your child will learn.

Age 3½ – 5

Play Group, Nursery and Prep

A child’s first step into education comes at an impressionable age, when the foundation of personality is laid. We have created an environment and a way of teaching that is entirely child-friendly.

These classes have a separate block with their own work area, play area and well-equipped activity room. Reading, writing and arithmetic begin in Nursery and take a bigger place in Prep, where children learn to recognise, read and write Urdu and English letters and short words.

Primary

Class I to V

The concepts introduced in preschool take a firmer footing and the syllabus broadens. Students study Urdu, English, Mathematics, General Science and Social Studies, along with Islamiyat and Naazra Quran.

Teaching is communicative and interactive, so every student takes part.

Middle

Class VI to VIII

The curriculum develops the all-round personality of students, combining academics with a variety of co-curricular activities.

Subjects include Urdu, English, Mathematics, Science (Physics, Chemistry and Biology), Social Studies, Computer Education, Islamiyat and Naazra Quran.

Secondary

Class IX and X

Students prepare for their Matriculation board examinations with regular testing, revision and close guidance from subject teachers.

Beyond the core subjects

Teaching that covers the whole child.

Teaching faculty

Our teachers are professionally qualified, experienced and devoted. The majority hold a Master’s degree in their discipline. Training, confidence, commitment and a balanced personality all count when we recruit. Preschool classes are, in most cases, taught by trained Montessori teachers.

Staff development centre

The Punjab School has its own training centre for teachers. In-service workshops run throughout the year, led by professional trainers from reputed institutions and by our own senior teachers.

Computer education

Computer Education is compulsory for all classes up to Class 8. Two periods are set aside for it in each class’s weekly timetable, with proper lab arrangements.

Islamic education

Tajweed-ul-Quran, the fundamentals of Islam, Namaz with translation, Hifz of selected Surahs and Ayaat, and the life of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and the early caliphs. A large mosque has been built on campus.

Homework

An extension of the school day.

Homework is a crucial part of a child’s education. It takes very little time in the early classes and grows as students move up the school. It helps them to:

develop independent study skills
build disciplined work habits and meet deadlines
practise skills learnt at school
make rapid individual progress
prepare for future lessons
show that they have understood the lesson

Student diary

The diary is the everyday link between parents and teachers. It records what was taught each day, the homework set and class test results, and should be signed by parents regularly.

School publications

Every year the school prints its own workbooks and worksheets for each class. These, along with the diary, are given to students at the start of the academic session.

Come and see the school for yourself.

Visit either campus, meet the teachers and walk through the classrooms. We are happy to answer every question.
