Primary & Secondary Section
Overview
The Primary Section comprises of Grades 1 – 5 with segregated classes for male & female students in most AES campuses. Grades are divided into smaller sections to ensure the instructors’ attention for each individual child.
The secondary section comprises of Grades 6 – 8; the second term in Grade 8 is termed “Pre-9th”. In Pre-9th, students opt for O’Levels or Matriculation and are prepared accordingly for a term before entering the definitive academic year.
Curriculum
The assembled curriculum for these grades consists of core subjects that are taught using standard Oxford University Press, Cambridge & Paramount textbooks among others. The students are required to complete individual & group projects during class hours for core subjects, and are assessed regularly to mark their progress.
Creative programs like the traditional Bazm-E-Adab are a part of each grade’s schedule and students are encouraged to employ their talents in any way they like within the safe space of the Bazm-E-Adab!
Progress Assessment
Monthly Assessments & Terminal Exams help the teachers assess the progress of each student definitively in each grade.Progress Assessment is three-pronged at the primary level:
which is used to identify current knowledge/misconceptions about a topic.
which is used to provide feedback during the instructional process.
Used to sum up learning at the end of the instructional process.
Learning in Action
Learning at AES is a conscious departure from generic classroom learning. The students have ready access to on-campus laboratories, a kitchen garden, libraries and multi-purpose halls equipped with multimedia facilities to help them dig deeper into the concepts they learn in the classrooms.
Parental Involvement
Through traditional Parent-Teacher Conferences, AES instructors involve parents fully in the education of the child, but we do not believe a PTC covers it all. Parents are also encouraged to meet our student counselors, instructors and our subject facilitators to help them identify their child’s strengths & weaknesses and plan their child’s study routine at home accordingly.
Similarly, parents are encouraged to attend events at the school that are open to public to help create a relationship of trust and understanding between the child, the instructors and the parents.
