Resource Academia

Realizing the importance of high standard education, especially in the foundation years which play a pivotal role in the physical and mental development of children, the Punjab Group of Colleges with a proven track record of producing hundreds of professionals in Law, Commerce, Business and IT, has taken a landmark initiative in the field of primary education by establishing a Pre school to A’ Level.

After a major success in Lahore, Resource Academia Islamabad has been set up. Intially, from Playgroup to Class VIII, the School has been upgraded to O' Level in 2005-2006. Resoource Academia aims at providing quality education of international standards within one cultural framework, through judicious blend of quality management and child psychology. The School building located in F-8/1 is well furnished and fully equippedto impart high quality education through its state of the art science and computer laboratories, library and research facilities.

Resource Academia Islamabad comprises three levels i-e; Pre-School, Junior School and the Senior School for O' and A' Level. The curriculum has been developed by a team of highly learned subject specialists and is based on the GCE O’ & A' Level British National Curriculum, which is regularly updated according to the ever growing educational needs. A sustained evaluation and development system is followed, beginning from pre school and proceeding upwards according to the standards and requirements of QCA (Qualification and Curriculum Assessment Authority) of the United Kingdom leading to Cambridge International Examinations.

Resource Academia provides a highly interactive environment to groom children, engaging them in activities that involve imagination, exploration and innovation. To us every child is a unique person with an individual pattern of learning, understanding, assimilation and analyzing. Resource Academia believes that these formative years, if handled professionally by dedicated and qualified educationists, can make the vital difference between success and failure.

Rules on Attendance and Leave

Respect for rules is the first lesson of education. Parents and pupils are expected to read and abide by the following rules:

• Pupils must be punctual and regular in attendance; 90% attendance is mandatory (except in conditions beyond one's control), failing which a pupil will be liable to detention in a class.
• Pupils are expected to arrive well before the start of School - the gate will be closed 5 minutes after the first bell after which pupils will not be allowed entry.
• Adults collecting pupils after school must be in possession of a school pass for identification purposes.
