Junior School

What is Junior School - Grade 7 & Grade 8 ?

The Preparatory Level is the middle or Elementary school level offering continuous education through grade 7 and grade 8 in preparation for British 'O' levels, GCSE levels or the local Matric level examinations. Preparatory level is the most comprehensive and unique elementary school qualification; thus preparing our students for their international examinations offered through   the university of Cambridge international examinations UK.

The school environment can help or hinder the realization of goals for young children. Keeping this in view the school provides the best possible environment that will contribute to the development of our students both physically and mentally. Provision is made for continuous growth in social and emotional development through a balanced programme that will meet the needs of the child. The emphasis in the school is for inculcating a 'spirit of inquiry' at a very early age. A systematic and regular method of evaluation of the student's progress in all fields of the educational activities has been adopted and a consolidated record of the student is maintained. The medium of instruction is English with due emphasis to MATHS, SCIENCE, URDU, HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY and ISLAMIAT.

Preparatory level offers a gateway to the Wahid International school of Excellence 'O' level, GCSE level or the local matriculation examinations; with focus on strong academic foundation at such important years through developing an aptitude towards inquiry and concept based learning at each school level.

MATHEMATICS:

Mathematics constitutes a vital area of the curriculum, the basic knowledge of maths and mathematical concepts involved in everyday life. In the early years of school, an emphasis is placed on practical work using a wide variety of Montessori Mathematical apparatus, while older children do still need to learn multiplication tables and work in the four rules of number as well as learning about and exploring measurement, shape, geometry and graph work. A variety of resource books along with course books are studied in depth by providing ample practice and experiences including opportunities for investigation work and problem solving.

SCIENCE:

We aim to provide a wide variety of experience for exploration, observation and problem solving work, which often develops from the children's own natural curiosity. Their skills and concepts of science are developed through experiences of observing and recording of a variety of living and non-living material. Students of Senior School are exposed to Laboratory work under the guidance of Science teachers and are encouraged to investigate and record their observations. Group work is encouraged to enable the students to become confident and independent in their own research and conclusions Students display their innovative models in front of the school children and also present their logical views. Independent work is highly appreciated and encouraged so as to make our students curious and innovative.

SOCIAL STUDIES - PROJECT WORK:

Traditional subjects such as History and Geography are taught through Project Work. This work is studied in depth over an extended period of time. There are no clear boundaries between one area of knowledge and another, and we try to use topics to make learning relevant. We aim for a balance of subject areas in those topics, which can be very exciting and highly motivating for children.

ART& CRAFT:

All children use art as a means of exploring and coming to terms with their world. It acts as a vehicle for expressing ideas and solving problems, encourages aesthetic development and poses intellectual demands on children. Children are encouraged to explore a variety of materials and craft skills and the value placed on children's artwork may be seen in the care with which it is displayed around the school.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION & GAMES:

We also use the outside playing field and paved areas for a variety of games. School grounds are utilized for cricket, base ball and foot ball matches. Table tennis, cemented basketball court and badminton facilities are provided within the premises. Inter school and Inter House matches are held to promote healthy competition.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION:

The ultimate aim of the Institution is to produce true Muslims and good Pakistanis. Though Islamiat is taught as a compulsory subject in all classes, the services of a qualified Qari have been obtained to give Quranic lessons and teach Qiraat. The morning assembly opens with the recitation of Holy Quran followed by English/Urdu translation. Topics pertaining to Islamic values with reference to character/personality development are addressed and discussed with children frequently.

EDUCATION THROUGH COMPUTERS & ROBOTICS:

Computer education is inculcated at all levels especially right at the early age in order to develop a quick understanding of computer skills.
