JPS

d working hard academically. They forge lasting friendships and an enduring attachment to their School whilst enjoying excellent relations with their teachers. JPS’s magnificent building, extensive playing facilities and superb location provide pupils with a physical environment which is conducive both to the clarity of mind required for study and to the full and balanced development of young people. During the time a pupil is with us, we try to ensure that, in addition to the knowledge and skills acquired through academic study, he or she develops:
a love of learning and the will to succeed
a sense of responsibility, self-discipline, purpose and fulfilment
a capacity for both self-reliance and co-operation
an appreciation of certain personal virtues and spiritual values, such as honesty, dependability, perseverance, commitment, humility and respect for others. When the time comes for our pupils to leave the School, we hope to have helped them not only to be properly prepared for the next stage in their lives, but also to become balanced and considerate young men and women who have the confidence to meet the world and the challenges it places before them, as its equal. If you have enjoyed looking through this prospectus, please contact us so that we might have the opportunity to arrange a personal tour of the School in order to give you a little window into what life here is really like. A prospectus can only show so much. Please come and visit us so that we
can meet you personally and let you see what we can do for your children. I am confident you will receive a warm and friendly welcome! HISTORY:

JPS has a long and proud history. It was founded in 1992 and established in a modest but charming small building. Today the School is very different. The “G-1 campus” extends over 4 Kanals with a proper campus developed to accommodate increasing numbers of pupils.

“H-2 campus” is for the senior classes where the pupils are assessed regularly and are prepared for their BISE exams by our experienced faculty members. JPS is not only the first school of Johar Town, Lahore (established in 1992), it is also the first institution in Johar Town, Lahore to be registered with the Punjab Education Commission (PEC) (in 1993) and the first educational institution Johar Town, Lahore to be registered with the board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) (in 1995). CURRICULUM

Taught by a qualified staff of dedicated specialists, the curriculum, both academic and non-academic, is broad and stimulating, and offers every pupil the chance to be challenged and to excel. For instance, JPS enjoys a justly high reputation in sports, art and drama. JPS DAYCARE

KG provides for children between the ages of 3 and 4 years old. Our primary aim during these critical years is to ensure your child’s happiness and to offer the vital first steps in their education, which are the building blocks for their future academic life. We offer your child a positive learning experience, so that when they move on to the next stage of their education they will have all the necessary educational and social skills to prepare them for a more formal approach to learning. We ensure that parents are involved in their child’s learning, by sending detailed copies of our worksheets home at the beginning of every week. RECEPTION

In Reception the children commence full-time education. We provide a structured learning environment, building on concepts developed in the Nursery. There is an excellent staff/pupil ratio and our staff are well qualified, dedicated and experienced. We offer a ‘wrap-around’ care scheme for children from Reception upwards, providing supervision from 8.00 a.m. till 12.00 p.m through out the week. Choosing the right School is one of the most important things you can do for your child, and we appreciate that you will be looking for a variety of qualities and characteristics. At JPS, we offer a warm and welcoming environment with a family atmosphere, where your child’s learning experience can be nurtured in small class sizes. We endeavor to create an ambitious academic environment, whilst also offering a full commitment to sport, art and drama. We will encourage your child to discover their own individual strengths within the wide range of opportunities on offer. Our aim is to enable your child to thrive in the happy atmosphere that is created by our team of talented, highly qualified and committed teachers, whilst maintaining good discipline with clear traditional values. We understand the importance of fostering strong links between home and school and aim to ensure that we work together to promote the welfare and learning of each individual child. The ethos of our school is one of tolerance and understanding of the beliefs of others. Our teaching is Islam based and this is used as a vehicle to explore a range of cultures and traditions through lessons and morning assemblies. We are an inclusive school, and welcome families of all faiths or none. At JPS, we believe in educating the child, and that education is about more than just school-work. Whilst we regard your child’s academic achievement as vitally
important, we are equally as concerned with their personal development. Our aim is to enable all our pupils to achieve their potential and become fully-rounded people, who are able to make a positive contribution to the world when they leave our care. We actively encourage pupils to take part in the wide range of sports, drama and art activities provided for them. We also offer a wide range of school trips and activity holidays which we believe will help widen our pupils’ learning experience. SPORT

JPS holds an annual Sports Day each year where pupils compete and show their true potential. ART AND DRAMA
