Our Concept of Islamic Education
Universally accepted, Islamic Education has no segregation between “religious” and “secular” knowledge. It aims at developing the entire human aspects; physically, intellectually & spiritually. It up brings child on his/her nature (Fitrah) and educates him/her to play his roles as: the servant of God; His vicegerent; and as a responsible citizen of the country.
Our Concept of Curriculum
It is not limited to text books but it is a wide concept which covers the whole body of knowledge, pedagogy and learning process experienced by a student that have been planned formally and systematically according to the levels of students.
Need of Integrated Curriculum
“Islamic integrated curricula is essential in-developing every aspect of human potentials and producing a well-balanced being. The development of mental, physical, emotional, ethical and aesthetical aspects cannot be enhanced without the process of Islamic integration in the education system.” – Ghazali Basri (A Malaysian Educationalist).
The Islamic curriculum is based on Quran and Sunnah. We have Shariah board which approves the curriculum and train the teachers. The curriculum teaches basics of Islam. We don’t follow a particular Maslak (school of thought). We teach Unity of Ummah and to struggle for establishment of Islam in individuals and in collective life. However the children and their parents are free to follow their own school of thought (Maslak). Al Hamdu Lillah, Ulema’s of various schools of thought (Maslak) have visited our school, examined our system and curriculum and appreciated our policy.
‘Brainy Stars International Holistic Montessori’ is an educational movement. We are ambitious to open 1000 schools by 2020. This dream can be achieved only by teamwork. We invite those persons who are willing to contribute in the field of education having infrastructure and capital to become our teammates.
‘Brainy Stars’ has integrated Montessori Method with Islamic values. In Montessori Method of teaching, child is groomed in a natural way (FITRAT), this system helps child to nourish his abilities of observation, creativity and imagination.
CHILD’S OVERALL DEVELOPMENT
OUR CONCEPT
VISION
MISSION
OUR UNIQUENESS
Child development refers to how a child is able to do more complex things as they get older. Development is different than growth. Growth only refers to the child getting bigger in size, whereas development is overall growth of the child. Here, the growth is not restricted to size but intellect as well. When we talk about normal development, we are talking about developing skills like:
Gross motor: Using large groups of muscles to sit, stand, walk, run, etc., keeping balance and changing positions.
Fine motor: Using hands to be able to eat, draw, dress, play, write and do many other things.
Language: Speaking, using body language and gestures, communicating and understanding what others say.
Cognitive: Thinking skills: including learning, understanding, problem-solving, reasoning and remembering.
Social: Interacting with others, having relationships with family, friends and teachers, cooperating and responding to the feelings of others.
Following are some of the things you, as a parent, can do to help your child during this time:
Continue to read to your child. Nurture his/her love for books by taking him/her to the library or bookstore.
Let your child help with simple chores.
Encourage your child to play with other children. This helps him to learn the value of sharing and friendship.
Be clear and consistent when disciplining your child. Explain and show the behaviour that you expect from your child. Whenever you tell them no, follow up with what your child should be doing instead.
Help your child develop good language skills by speaking to him/her in complete sentences and using “grown up” words. Help your child to use the correct words and phrases.
Help your child through the steps to solve problems when he/she is upset.
Give your child a limited number of simple choices (for example, deciding what to wear, when to play and what to eat for snack).
