Academic Philosophy and Curriculum

We believe in the holistic development of children. Dua Academy provides children an environment that will promote their optimum development at a time when they are in a critical period of their development socially, physically, emotionally, and intellectually. While each of these areas of development are important, the child’s feeling of self-worth is most crucial and must underlie every aspect of their first school experience onwards.

We follow the National Curriculum and offer core and non-core subjects English, Urdu, Mathematics, General Science/Chemistry/Biology/Physics, Social studies/Pakistan Studies, Computer science, Islamiat, Nazra Qur’an, Taalemul Qur’an, Arts and crafts and character building.

Major Concerns

Dua Academy has a very clear vision for the school, with effective goals and objectives communicated on a regular basis to the staff, students, parents and community. Everyone in the school knows exactly what he or she is required to do on a daily basis in order to meet the institutional goals and objectives. This speaks to performance on every level.

We focus on professional development for teachers. This includes mentoring, delegation of tasks and additional responsibilities and formal in-house or external professional development courses. Teachers are accountable for their own performance.

Nazra Quran Education with Tajweed is a must for every Muslim student. TPI method is being used to improve Arabic accent. Teaching of Ahadith and their implementation in our daily life is a part of the core curriculum.

We use Technology (A/V aids) in the classroom for effective teaching and learning. Computer, Math and Science labs are also being used from ECED level.

Remedial classes are arranged to cater to individual differences. Students are taught individually to fill any gaps they might have in their learning.

Co-curricular activities have also the same importance like curricular activities. Debates, drama, quizzes, sports, and exhibitions are arranged to give exposure and to help students develop leadership skills.

Through character building Dua Academy stands as a School of Character by making a positive impact on the school environment, academics, and student behavior.
