    boys and girls who will be their classmates and peers during the coming years.

 

Curriculum……. A brief outline

 

Our curriculum setters have a two pronged policy. They make sure that the courses included promote firstly the integrity of mind and purity of soul and secondly the mental capabilities of students.

 

Up to class VIII the syllabi are prepared and reviewed on yearly basis. The selected books are printed by well reputed publishers. For Matric and Inter level all the books prescribed by the Abbottabad Board and Technical Board are being used. The students are encouraged to use reference books and other resource materials for conceptual learning and development of research oriented approach.

 

Religious Education

 

At Modernage, Islamiat is taught as a compulsory subject for all Muslim students. The morning assembly opens with the recitation of the Holy Quran followed by its translations in Urdu and English. On all occasions of religious importance, the opportunity is taken to organize such activities that will promote tolerance and spirit of mutual understanding in the students as individuals. The prayers are offered regularly in the Ali Muhammad Mosque. Full time Qaris teach Hifz and Nazra to the students

 

Career Counselling

 

Modernage provides assistance in career planning especially to college students. It is aimed that the students get ample chances to explore career possibilities early in their college careers. It aids the students in making educated decisions regarding the selection of courses and analyzing their individual skills and interests.

 

Remedial Teaching

 

Modernage has launched a Remedial Teaching Program for those students of Primary level who are handicapped by lack of skill in reading, writing and arithmetic. These students are given exclusive coaching for a certain period till they reach the level of their class. Help of parents is also sought to make these sessions effective for the participants. Plans are being made to extend this help to higher classes as well.

 

Emotional & Psychological Counselling

 

Various social, cultural and economic factors affect the performance of students in their academic and co-curricular participation. To aid the students to tackle these delicate matters, Modernage provides emotional and psychological counseling both individually and in groups through specially trained people. The students get a chance to improve personal habits, overcome tension and depression and improve relationships.
