Core Subjects

English

Cambridge Primary English in ZPS enables learners to communicate confidently and effectively and to develop the critical skills to respond to a range of information, media and texts with understanding and enjoyment. Learners who follow this curriculum framework will develop a first language competency in English based on a curriculum designed to be successful in any culture and to promote cross-cultural understanding.

 
This curriculum develops learners’ speaking, listening, reading and writing skills in English. It has been developed in conjunction with Cambridge English. Students with little or no English language are supported through a combination of in-class and pull-out sessions. The program is a comprehensive one used in well-established international schools. The development of language is monitored constantly and the learning of English is within the context of the curriculum and functional use.

Mathematics
The mathematics curriculum framework explores five content areas: number, geometry, measure, handling data and problem solving. This curriculum focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships so that learners can apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject.

Science
ZPS curriculum framework covers four content areas: scientific enquiry, General Science (biology, chemistry and physics). Scientific enquiry is about considering ideas, evaluating evidence, planning, investigating, recording and analyzing data. Environmental awareness and some history of science are also part of the curriculum.

Value Based Education/ Moral Education

Value based education (VBE) in ZPS imparts social, moral, integrity, character, spirituality and many more. It builds the qualities of humility, strength and honesty in a person. They become better citizens of a country. People with high ethical values will never cheat others. People are taught to co-operate with each other. They make their life happier and works hard to make others happy. We emphasize that our approach to value education is based on three principles ie inculcation (thinking), Modelling (seeing) and Facilitation (Doing). We appreciate the fact that Man is the guardian of nature and aim to sensitize our students to this fact. He/scientist seeks the understanding of the material world not to dominate it but to appreciate the beauty of the universe/nature and signs of creator/God. The study of world leads to two outcomes. An understanding of the material world as well as reflection of spiritual realities so as to promote wellbeing of human kind and nature.
Besides we also endeavor to give the young learners an Islamic perspective of all sciences learnt in regular classroom so that there is no compartmentalization of knowledge and all forms of knowledge are integrated, respected, loved and recognized as beneficial.
