Our definition of educational needs includes need for mental, emotional, social, and physical growth. We have created a solid infrastructure, thorough curriculum, and technology-driven value-based delivery system in terms of achieving these goals. PRIMA offers a rich and stimulating curriculum. It includes a foreign language (all children learn spoken English from reception onward) national language, art, design and basic sciences. Core subjects like maths and English give your children the excellent literacy and numeracy skills they need, whatever path they choose in life Urdu language curriculum helps to compose proud Pakistanis, whereas, Islamic studies curriculum covers nitty-gritty of Islam. Science curriculum introduce the excitement of scientific investigation while our lively social studies curriculum gives the students a deeper understanding of the world in which they live. Every child can SHINE at PRIMA. Whether they are wizards at maths, have an eye for design or are great in the playground.
The first educational step that a child takes at an impressionable age of three is in Playgroup and then on to Nursery. Bearing in mind that the foundation of a child’s personality is laid and two-thirds of his/her intellect develops 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.
Steps are taken to achieve Holistic Development of students through the implementation of Early Childhood Care and Education Curriculum. Development is simultaneous and integrated and has been grouped into the following key learning areas:
The basic concepts that a child was introduced to, in 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 Knowledge, Science and Social Studies besides the teaching of Islamiyat & Nazra Quran. Efforts are made to make the teaching more communicative and interactive to encourage students’ participation.
The curriculum, for Classes VI to VIII, is designed to develop the well-rounded personality of the students. It includes academics as well as a variety of co-curricular activities. The academic subjects include Urdu, English, Mathematics, Science (Physics, Chemistry and Biology), Social Studies, Computer Education, Islamiyat, Arabic and Tarjuma tul Quran.
Our schools are affiliated with the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Gujranwala. The curriculum prescribed by the Board is followed. We generally offer Science Group with Biology or Computer Science as an elective subject. However, the choice of Humanities Group is also available.
The Teaching Faculty comprises 300+ professionally qualified, experienced and devoted teachers. The majority of the teachers possess Master’s Degree in their respective disciplines. Some of the teachers have MPhil degrees as well. Professional training, experience in teaching, mental alertness, self-confidence, commitment, general bearing and traits of a balanced personality are given due weight while recruiting the staff. Even for Nursery classes the same criterion is observed and Montessori trained teachers have been employed keeping in view the mental level and the age groups of the students.
Prima Standard High School has its own training centre for professional development of the teachers. In-service training workshops are arranged throughout the year. These workshops are conducted not only by the professional trainers from different reputed institutions but also by the Master Trainers of PRIMA.
Elaborative and adequate arrangements have been made for its teaching at all school campuses. Specific periods have been allocated in the school weekly timetable. There are 25, fully networked, computer laboratories with latest PC and Facilities. The schools continually upgrade and enhance their highly sophisticated and awe inspiring computing facilities.
The curriculum includes Tajveed-ul-Quran, knowledge of fundamentals of Islam, learning of ‘Namaz’ with translation, ‘Hifz’ of selected Surahs and Ayaat from the Holy Quran, inculcation of social virtues, study of life of the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم ), and that of early caliphs and heroes of Islam. The school utilizes the services of qualified and dedicated teachers for Islamic education as well.
A large mosque has been built in the Township Campus where all members of the staff and the senior boys of the Boys High School offer their Zuhr prayer in congregation. 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 Girls School for offering prayers by the lady teachers and the girl students.
The School launched the Hifz-e-Quran Programme for boys in 2004. The students after passing Class IV can opt for this stream. Preference is given to those students who secure at least 75% marks in the annual examination of Class IV with at least 90% marks in Quran as a subject. The duration of this programme is 3 years. After the completion of the Hifz, the students join the regular stream in Class VII. So far 574 students have completed the Hifz, and presently, 62 students are passing through the Hifz process.
