Pre, Primary & Higher School

MLC’s main goal is to help our students to develop their intellectual and social skills in an environment that is fun and that they feel safe and secure in. While doing so we also aim to create a positive outlook and desire to learn that will last all through their education. During this time, while teaching the students to adjust to new situations, we also teach them how and when to meet their needs of personal development, using methods that stimulate the child in an effective and fun way. During this critical period the most important thing is to develop the student’s basic skills. Our teachers have been trained to teach in many methods to bring all skills to the best of their potential.

Our Aims

MLC is a place where:

• Individuals are highly valued and supported to achieve their personal best.
• Learning and high standards are pursued with integrity and enthusiasm.
• Effective relationships secure the success of the school.
• At its core, the curriculum of MLC frees children to be children.

Helping Your Child Invent the Future

We want your child to imagine a world of infinite possibilities. Through our new approach to teaching science, technology, engineering, arts and math’s (STEAM), your child will have the skills to invent their future.

What is STEAM?

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths.

At MLC we follow a creative and thematic approach to learning. Our STEAM curriculum is delivered through Imaginative Learning Projects which provides a rich menu of exciting and motivating learning activities, embedded in a language rich environment that promotes a culture of communication, reading and writing. We believe children learn better when they are encouraged to use their imagination and apply their learning to engaging contexts. Our curriculum provides lots of learning challenges throughout the academic year that requires from children to solve problems, apply themselves creatively and express their knowledge and understanding effectively across the curriculum

Each STEAM based project has four elements:

• Engage – hook children in with a memorable experience, a trip, visit or discovery.
• Develop – allow children time to gather the skills and knowledge they need through quality first teaching to develop a deep understanding.
• Innovate – offer creative experiences that allow children to apply their skills, knowledge and understanding.
• Express – provide the space and time for reflecting, evaluating, and celebrating learning with parents.

At MLC STEAM learning opportunities will be enriched and supported by specialist teachers.
Moreover, MLC curriculum integrates academic and social learning, allowing students to become confident and independent learners through play, inquiry and exploration. As well as developing foundational language, mathematics, cognitive and physical skills, the curriculum includes elements of environmental studies, creative arts, music and dramatic play. All subject areas are integrated rather than being taught in isolation. In order to address the individual needs of each child, our teachers utilize a wide range of teaching strategies, and new activities are regularly introduced to match the interests and abilities of the children. Each unit addresses the core subjects, but also offers a wide range of other learning opportunities. Cooperation, creativity, individual initiative and responsibility are always encouraged. We aim to provide a nurturing environment that promotes the development of a child’s emotional, social, intellectual and physical skills – a home away from home! We want our children to know that going to school is like discovering a new world, but not one that is completely unfamiliar.

With a view to providing a creative and stimulating environment for our children, we have implemented the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) to:

• Communicate clearly.
• Work collaboratively.
• Think critically and creatively.
• Embrace differences.

This social approach to learning is evident in two other unique features of our school: action and the student exhibition. Students learn to empathize, recognize the commonalities that tie us together regardless of culture, and take action to connect with others. As they reach the end of the programme, they complete an extended project that requires them to synthesize their learning and present it to the community in a day-long public exhibition.

We have a dedicated and experienced team of teachers at MLC and our students receive devoted support in a happy and wholesome atmosphere. We recognize that ongoing assessment and adjustment are the key to improved performance and provide a solid education with a futuristic orientation where open mindedness and critical thinking is encouraged in the teaching and learning process. Our curriculum incorporates modern textbooks and curriculum planning strategies.

MLC Early Years Subjects include:

The core subjects are English (Literacy), Mathematics (Numeracy) and Urdu while the elective subjects that are included in our curriculum are Science, Social Studies, Islamic Studies, Quran, Ethics, General Knowledge and Life Skills, are all taught by highly qualified and experienced teachers. Art, ICT (Information & Communications Technology), P.E (Physical Education) and Modern Foreign Languages are taught by specialist teachers.
Since our aim is to foster all round development of our students, we also offer a broad range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Our co-curricular program exists to compliment what our students are learning in school, and with curriculum content in mind for each term, full day excursions are planned for each grade level.
Activities offered in our extra-curricular program include Football, Basketball, Push Hockey, Karate, Art, Music (vocal and instrumental), Cookery and Science Club, Coding, Movie Making, Foreign Languages and Literacy Hour.
Note: Subject offerings may differ in subsequent academic years. Books for Playgroup to Reception shall be purchased by the MLC shop.

Middle School (Grade-6 to Grade-8) & Senior School (O-Level –to A-Level)

In Secondary School, students begin to take ownership. As students’ transit into a new phase of education and life. It is here that they begin to be independent and self-aware. They start to analyze themselves - who they are, how do they fit in, and what they what to be. To meet these changing needs and to prepare students for higher education, we have cultivated a broad and balanced range of subjects and life skills that give students the opportunity to develop in relevant areas.
MLC has a strategic plan to start its Middle & Senior School from the Academic Year 2022 by keeping in view the national and international requirements of early adolescence, we will mark transition from junior school to senior school. As in the era of 21^st Century our students live in a world that is fast paced, culturally diverse, technologically driven and media saturated. These changing paradigms require that we redefine education making it more flexible, challenging and creative. Keeping in view the challenges of modern world our Middle School will well prepare its junior school students to enter into Middle School. We will test our junior school students through our centralized Year 8 final exams to ensure their entrance into the O’ Level stream. MLC is also intended to prepare its Middle School students for O-Level and A-Level qualifications via a rigorous and highly challenging curriculum. Our aim is to provide a broad and balanced curriculum relevant to all students and within our local context but also with an international outlook. MLC’s Middle School strategy also include the Matric System – Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) in affiliation with Punjab Higher Education Commission (PHEC). Our curriculum:
